Disgusting, someone find out who they are, they need to be exposed and taste their own venom

4Chan will see this. I wouldn't worry.

 

[Nicktendo86]

Those twitter comments make me ill. I hope they get arrested.

They should be, this is abuse. That it is on a social media website is irrelevant, abuse is abuse. People need to learn their words have consequences.

How fucking empty do you have to be to do something like this? Let's laugh when their parents die!, fucking cunts.[/QUOTE]
Words cannot describe how I feel seeing that.

 

[Mistah]

I'm disgusted in humanity

 

[Toa TAK]

I honestly don't get why people would do that. What a bummer to walk into this thread and see, especially in this one. These people should've been there to comfort her and the rest of the family, but do the complete opposite. How perverted can you be to do that?

Hopping of my high horse, Russell Brand wrote a great article on The Guardian. It's short, and I'd recommend a read, I like how he writes, considering he does it well.

 

[Zodzilla]

Nasty Trolling Image.

These people are the scum of the earth and they thrive off of people publicizing what rancid stuff they write. Now that they've been taken off of twitter I implore people to stop reposting what they said as it empowers them to have people see it and get furious about it.

...I want to psychically harm these people. I'm sorry Zelda, you don't deserve anything like this. Stay strong, and remember they're in a vast minority.

-terrible tweets to zelda williams-

This is unacceptable behaviour. I'm at a loss for words here.

 

[mantidor]

Stop giving them the attention, they are basically westboro's church-like in their antics. They live for the shocked reactions. It would be lovely to see them exposed though.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

What in the hell is wrong with people on the Internet? Why would people post, tweet and send horrible messages? I don't get it? I always wonder when I see crass and moronic messages, whether it's Twitter or YouTube or whatever, if these are kids or if adults are actually involved?

It's sickening.

Edit: Cripes, I'm actually reading some of the messages in the pic posted above. What the fuck!? I wanna throw up.

 

[Trax]

I really hope 4chan finds them and destroys their lives. Fucking scumbags.

 

[AudioNoir]

All for attention, and they got it.

Needy, pathetic people. Poor Zelda :/

On a more positive note, looks like those shit bags in the pic above have been suspended from Twitter.

I had a couple scenes in License to Wed playing a singer in the church choir where Robin Williams's character was a priest. We filmed for three days at a church in long beach, and he managed to do a couple very cool things in that time.

1. If you've seen the movie, you know it's terrible. Not funny at all really. So we were doing these scenes in the church with Robin at the pulpit delivering these crappy jokes. As soon as the cameras would cut, he would start riffing and just busting up everyone in the room. It was hot and awful in the church and there were maybe 500 extras sweating away in their Sunday best in uncomfortable wooden pews for hours, and it could easily have been miserable for everyone. But he singlehandedly kept everyone entertained and happy.

2. Later we were filming with just him and the choir. Once again it was dreadfully hot and we were all wearing thick choir robes over our regular clothes. There was no A/C in the church, only big yellow hoses piping in cold air from outside, and of course they were all aimed at him. But between every take - and I mean every take - he would lift up the hose and slowly blow it back and forth over the whole choir while talking to us all and asking us questions about ourselves.

3. We had recorded the audio at a studio a few days earlier, so when we filmed we were just lip syncing to our own playback track. But the playback kept fucking up until they finally cut it and we were lip syncing to nothing. Not great. Still, it probably would've worked as we were all in the background and they could've edited it to look okay. But Robin said, "Didn't you guys sing this?" to which we replied yes. "So why don't you just sing it live now?"
The SAG rep had to explain that the rates for on-camera singing are a fair bit higher than off camera plus lip sync (to the tune of about $800 more per singer, with over 30 singers.)
"Fuck it," he said, "I'll pay the bump. Let's hear it."
So we sang it live and he loved it and it raised the spirits of the whole day and that's what made it in the film.

Basically he was amazing throughout the whole thing, and just a total fucking class act.

What a great story.

 

[Eteric Rice]

Poor Zelda, I wish there was a way to drown out assholes like that.

 

[Lothar]

Wouldn't they just make another name? Is this something that would really affect them at all?

I agree with whoever said there needs to be some 4chan punishment. Get their real names and have all of their friends and family know what they did.

 

[Kater]

Germany's biggest newscast yesterday

That's pretty cool of them.

 

[Mistah]

I really hope 4chan finds them and destroys their lives. Fucking scumbags.

it's 4chan themself they uploaded the picture yesterday on /b

 

[alfredofroylan]

it's 4chan themself they uploaded the picture yesterday on /b

And they found that it was another man in a few posts.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

Guys who pull that kind of nonsense are miserable and probably carry around a lot of shame. As angry as it might make you feel, wishing violence/death upon them is stupid

An article about Robin Williams recent struggles:

http://www.latimes.com/entertainmen...williams-last-days-20140813-story.html#page=1

It sucks that his faltering career seems to have had such a big impact on his mental state. This dumb sitcom that got cancelled, I hadn't even heard of it until after his suicide. Who watches sitcoms anymore anyway. You're entering a market that has become severely limited.

It seems like it was a bad move by his people to make him do it. Sarah Michelle Gellar is a nice girl, but she has zero comedic talent. How was bouncing off her going to generate any comedy? I watched a promo of the show just now and it was just awkward.

At the end of the day, though, it's sad that these actors, even ones that have done genuinely great things, keep tying their self worth up in the Hollywood machine. That machine will chew up and spit anyone out after a few flops. It's a shame he couldn't find a niche that fit him in later life.

It did seem awkward from the promos, but it had a 7.1 from the IMDB ranking system and their fans are usually on the tough side so it probably was not as bad as it looked.

What a great guy. Hollywood needs more like this.

For what it's worth, I enjoyed the show quite a bit. I had stopped watching it because I got distracted by work, night calsses, and other nonsense.

 

[LNBL]

Someone roll a 5 or 8

 

[Grym]

My wife watched The Crazy Ones (and therefore so did I). It was enjoyable. The best sitcom ever? no. The worst? no. It was just middling sitcom. It was good for what it was I guess.

not enough. fuckers need to get doxxed, it's the only way to stop shit like this.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Why do we always bring attention to internet trolls following a tragedy?

If we simply report it and not publicise it, that's surely less incentive for trolls who are horrible to people purely to get a reaction and attention.

Stop quoting that. Don't give them more exposure.

Ask him about The Birdcage

Those are just evil people.

 

[paolo11]

I pray for Robin Williams' family. Me and my wife are deeply saddened by this.

Last night, we decided to watch Patch Adams for the first time and that movie is inspiring.

 

[Alienous]

Those twitter idiots harassing Zelda have to be mentally deficient. What sad, sad lives they must lead.

 

[Neo C.]

Both accounts have been suspended by Twitter

Suspending is too easy for them. I hate how guys like those don't need to be afraid of consequences on the web. It's too easy to put nasty shit on it.

 

[Clydefrog]

I rewatched Hook yesterday... So good!

RIP

Rewatched The Birdcage last night. the second half of the movie is amazing!

 

[Maninthemirror]

There will always be idiots like these. We can respond by ignoring them and not giving them attention

 

[Creamium]

Those people harassing Zelda are the worst scum on the planet. It's no surprise she decided to leave with assholes like that.

 

[Murder. She Wrote]

Or we can respond by banning them, and if the situation warrants, jailing/fining them.

Those tweets remind me of the reddit troll thread. Can't believe people defend that shit.

 

[Zantetsuken]

Suspending is too easy for them. I hate how guys like those don't need to be afraid of consequences on the web. It's too easy to put nasty shit on it.

I agree. The Internet can be a lawless place somewhat.

 

[David H Wong]

I really hope 4chan finds them and destroys their lives. Fucking scumbags.

They're almost certainly from 4chan. This is what 4chan does. It's /b/'s primary hobby, taunting the survivors of tragedy/suicide.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Please don't quote those twitter comments. We don't need to see them. At least I don't want to.

Yup people say stuff like that on twitter and any other social media for attention and because they think they cannot get into trouble.

 

[Black Door]

They're almost certainly from 4chan. This is what 4chan does. It's /b/'s primary hobby, taunting the survivors of tragedy/suicide.

Nice assumption. They're pretty angry about it over there too, going on the thread I'm reading about it

 

[OricWindstar]

Not sure if this was posted, but Norm Macdonald wrote a story remembering Robin Williams and it's beautiful. It's good knowing we have funny and genuine guys like Norm still here to help keep the funny going.

 

[squall211]

Ugh...those twitter quotes...


I remember when the Ultimate Warrior died earlier this year...his wife said something along the lines of her and her daughters staying completely away from TV and social media for a time. I hope Zelda is able to do that. ESPECIALLY social media. I'm sure the overwhelming majority of messages she will get/has gotten are positive and supportive, but it only takes one or two shitheadslike the ones above to put you in a really bad state.

As far as RW goes, he was my favorite actor, and I don't really watch a lot of movies/TV. But if a movie of his was on, or he was being interviewed, I always watched. The man was absolutely brilliant, and it's a shame that his personal demons become too much for him.

 

[Volimar]

Wow, liking Fallon's impersonation. Very touching.

I love back during the Carson show era when things were so spontaneous. Everything is so nailed down now.

 

[Kinyou]

How fucking empty do you have to be to do something like this? Let's laugh when their parents die!, fucking cunts.

What the fuck is wrong with people

 

[Dilly]

I can only hope someone beats the sense back into those 2 guys.

 

[Trouble]

Zelda, forget twitter, come hang out with us on GAF. People like those twitter dickheads don't last very long here.
