Rest In Peace Robin Williams 1951-2014


R.I.P Robin Williams
21st July 1951 to 11th August 2014

Now, this is something that I have found to be very distressing, something that I know I can relate to in some small way. He may well have been famous, we obviously didn't meet, but depression is something that I know a lot about what with suffering with it for most of my life.

I have to say, that it goes to show that no matter how famous, talented rich etc. people always fight battles that we don't even know about. I believe that no one knew that Robin was suffering with depression, and fought his demons daily, especially with him being a comedian and an actor. He really is a brave brave man for continuing living his life regardless of how he felt on a daily basis. But, it is a shame that it took his own life. I really hope that he is now at peace and is free from his demons.

With all of this in mind, I hope that people will remember him for the comedian and actor he was, funny and all the brilliant films he has starred in for example:
The Voice Of Batty In Fern Gully
The Genie In Aladdin
Mrs Doubtfire
Good Will Hunting
Hook
And many more to mention.

I've picked up these images off facebook to share with you all.



I was browsing Google for some more quotes of his to add to this post, but I found something extraordinary.. I had no idea that Robin Williams & Christopher Reeve was friends. I remember learning of his riding accident which left him Paralyzed, but I had no idea of what involvement Robin had with the charity.
"But in the wake of Reeve's crippling 1995 riding accident, Williams vowed to pick up whatever hospital costs Reeve's insurance didn't cover."

Rest In Peace Rik Mayall 1958 to 2014



R.I.P Rik Mayall 7 March 1958 – 9 June 2014

Now this, this is something that I still cannot get my head around...
How can this amazing funny man be ..... dead??

I loved the Young Ones, Bottom, Guest House Paradiso and not forgetting Drop Dead Fred!

I got chocked up when I read Ade Edmondson's tribute about Rik,
"There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing. They were some of the most carefree stupid days I ever had, and I feel privileged to have shared them with him. And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish b------."

Or the picture that has been circulating facebook:

I think it might be safe to say, that this is something that will not sink in, not now, not ever!!!

Rest In Peace Harold Ramis 1944 to 2014



R.I.P Harold Ramis November 21st 1944 to February 24th 2014

I loved Harold, and it is such a big shame that he is now gone, especially within the last couple of years it was a possibility of having a Ghostbusters 3 which I would now assume is no longer a possibility.
If they did decide to do it without Egon, then they want a smack in the face, just saying.

It's quite strange, because at the moment I am watching films, and I am seeing him in things that I love and watch constantly, so he in all fairness hasn't left, which is good...

Incase you was wondering, I believe the last thing he appeared in was Knocked Up with Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen in 2007

Rest In Peace Bob Hoskins 1942-2014


R.I.P Bob Hoskins 26th October 1942 to 29th April 2014

I have been a little slow when it comes to writing out my blogs, so thought I would take the time to catch up a little bit now.

Still cannot believe that Bob Hoskins had to leave us this year, all the good one's seem to be going at the moment it is very strange and feels a little odd..

I will always remember him as Smee in Hook, not to mention Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
