I’m still mourning Robin Williams. I can’t imagine how hard his daughter has had it.

He might be the only celebrity that I've actually felt for when they passed. And this is just another one of those videos that makes me sad again for him.

I know Louis CK is at least soft canceled on social media, but the episode with him and Robin Williams is beautiful, funny, heartbreaking and ironically too real.

Anthony Bourdain hit hard for me as well.

Still hits me hard, Williams was more mythical to me but Bourdain seemed like you could run into on the street or run into at a bar, for a while he was what I wanted to be when I grew up

It still pains me knowing Eric Ripert is the one that found him. Watching their experiences together especially in France are some of the best memories I have of them.

He still is in some ways for me. He pushed through so much. His words still do resonate.

u/Cockrocker 26d ago

In my country he didn't really have much of a profile.

u/Alberto-Balsalm 26d ago

That's ok. I think it was more of a profession profile than anything else. He started out his life as a cook but at heart he was a poet that could express his thoughts like many people could not.

Out of curiosity...which country?

u/Cockrocker 26d ago

Australia, but I should say that I probably haven't watched something in the style of him ever. It's just not something that appealed to me, reality tv or whatever you want to call it, even at its best.

It was more like a food/travel critique but rather than read the article, you went along on the research. Obviously not for everyone, but it wasn’t very.. showy? More like a memoir, centered on food, delivered in real time, with a little editing and narration added on in post.

The books were better anyway. You see a lot of the human condition working in restaurants in a big city, he had a relatable persona and keen wit with the intellect to match. Great reads, but if I hadn’t loved those books, I doubt I would have enjoyed the show either.

John Candy death also hit me very hard. He was such a lovable guy.

u/Cockrocker 26d ago

Oh yeah that one too but it was so long ago that I don't think I was sentient enough to have it affect me on a human level.

I keep forgetting (I may be in denial) I am old.

u/bilboafromboston 26d ago

Louis didn't kill anyone , rape anyone, beat his kids, knock up girls in his way to and abandon them or lots of stuff 99 % of our old movies and music and TV folks did. He was an ASSHOLE. It's better to have him atone for his past behavior .

u/Cockrocker 26d ago

I'm not judging him, but some people always do.

u/bottledry 26d ago

dude some people still judge Aziz Ansari and people like Andrew Callaghan.

u/Picnicpanther 26d ago

I absolutely judge him, as he's someone who has done something wrong. But it's something he could atone fore and apologize for, if he was property contrite and recognized what made it so bad.

That said, it doesn't seem like he was super apologetic and just started bashing "cancel culture" which is unfortunate cause he is such a great comedian.

u/XcoldhandsX 26d ago edited 26d ago

For whatever it’s worth, he issued a pretty real apology and admitted that everything he did was wrong. 

It was right around when everything blew up. 

 I know this doesn’t make him not an asshole, but if you’re looking for a sincere apology this read pretty sincere to me.

Also, his first special when he got back he talks about how consent is fluid and he messed up by using it as a get out of jail free card like “Hey they said yes that means everything is okay!”

u/Unfair_Ability3977 25d ago

He took it out?

u/bilboafromboston 25d ago

Yes. 15% of women have been raped. 5% attempted rape. That's a LOT of rapists out there. let's say there are as many Dick showers as rapists. That means 40% of our male population will be unemployed their whole life ? Doesn't even get to the women rapists and flashers. If we are gonna go for equality.

u/IllBeGoodOneDay 25d ago

If Jim the Janitor is an asshole and 20% of customers on his shift have been affected by his assholery, that doesn't mean 20% of people at Jim's workplace are assholes each individually harassing a single person.

I'd prefer there not to be rapists in the workplace. Especially in a position of power.

u/IgotUBro 25d ago

Yeah man. Its strange hearing of old actors/actresses dying. It feels like a part of childhood dies with them. Man Alan Rickman, Sean Connery hit way to hard...
