[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 162686, member: 4106"] Odd thing. I looked through the list of movies Robin Williams has been in, and I've only ever seen one of them start-to-finish. That was Insomnia (2002), which I went to see to pass some time on time in New York when I was waiting to head back to the airport. I had no idea Robin Williams was in it, it just happened to be the movie that was playing at the theater closest to my hotel that was on at the most convenient time. Otherwise I wouldn't have ever seen the movie, or had any inclination to see it. I think I saw the very end of Mrs Doubtfire, once. And... that's it. TV-wise, I saw a bunch of episodes of Mork & Mindy, re-runs in the mid/late '90s, but that was being shown early Saturday mornings and frankly at that time I was living on my own in London and was usually suffering the effects of the previous Friday night. Just put anything on TV to pass the time before Grandstand came on and Football Focus and all that. Yet I was aware of him as a cultural icon, his place in the Hollywood pantheon... just never inclined to go see anything he was ever in. I guess that explains my reaction when my wife ran up the stairs to tell me he'd died - I was all "oh, okay". And she seemed kind of surprised that that was how I'd reacted. [/QUOTE]
