Yep, Ive said it, and Im sure Im not alone. But if thats not enough for you, try this on for size: Robin Williams is not funny. Do you think Robin Williams is funny? If so, chances are you arent funny either. For years Ive been amazed that people still think this hairy goofass is some kind of comedic genius. I dont know if youve ever actually stopped and watched him when hes being interviewed on Entertainment Tonight, Jay Leno or some other terrible show where they suck up to him like crazy, but really stop and watch next time. Someone will ask him a question and then hell basically repeat the question while talking either like a gay dude or in some painful white-dude-talking-like-a-black-dude impression. I ask you, how long can this schtick keep Mork in the people who are funny by default category? Not much longer I hope, as I find watching him excrutiating. Its like watching Michael from The Office doing his Chris Rock impression. But Shane, you say, Robin Williams is also a good dramatic actor. Actually, no he isnt. He follows the Tom Cruise school of acting where he basically plays the same dude in every movie. Unlike the crazy midget Cruise, Rob Williams one character is a semi-creepy pussy thats always one insult away from going postal and clawing someones eyes out. But Im sure you wont take my word for it, so lets look at Robin Williams last 10 movies to see just have unfunny hes become: The Big White (2005) - He plays a travel agent trying to outsmart the mob - how could I not heard of this? Robots (2005) (voice) - Voice acting might be the one acting where Williams talent fits best. But hes still the poor mans Eddie Murphy of voice acting. House of D (2004) - This film was written and directed by David Duchovny, nuff said. The Final Cut (2004) - Someone on IMDB describes it thusly: The Final Cut is a dark cross between Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, One-Hour Photo and Citizen Kane. My god, this cold be this best movie ever made. Insomnia (2002) - Quelle surprise, Robin Williams as a creepy dude. Death to Smoochy (2002) - A well-documented debacle One Hour Photo (2002) - More creepy Williams anyone? Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001) - Williams voice alone in this helped tank this big budget mess Bicentennial Man (1999) - Robot Robin wants to be human, sign me up! Jakob the Liar (1999) - A rather uplifting and slightly humorous film about World War II Jewish Ghetto life. I wonder if he does any of his crazy voices in this one? Keep in mind this list doesnt include Mrs. Doubtfire 2, an upcoming sequel to a film that was cheesy and semi-painful when came out in 1993. Whats that smell, is it hairy man BO? No, its desperation. But this is all my opinion, perhaps you love Mork and cant wait to see his latest opus, RV, a movie about Robin Williams driving an RV. I honestly dont know why you would want to do this, but no doubt some people will. Not me, Im waiting until Steven Seagals houseboat-themed adventure movie comes out. Of course I made that movie up, but I can dream.
