Robin Williams is a Sexual Deviant
When you think Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, a few images come to mind: the pale body of a ravaged young woman, kids on witness stands pointing to various parts of dolls, and the eccentric but whimsical son of a deceased toy mogul.
What's that? That last one? Why, it's simply Mr. Robin Williams' newest genre-testing experiment in "taking whatever role they give me." Ever since he blue-balled me by NOT raping that couple at the end of One Hour Photo, I for one have been eagerly awaiting this moment.
And Im already making predictions about the landmark 200th episode. One writer has said that he "couldnt imagine anyone else in the role." From that, I think it's safe to assume that Williams will be playing a psychotically split child molester who can speak only in impressions of outdated celebrities and is sustained by a bottomless stash of cocaine.
And to those who see this as a bad fit, I point to SVUs long tradition of casting faded comedians as sexual deviants. Jerry Lewis, Bob Saget, Chevy Chase and Martin Short have all taken turns playing bad boys on the old L&O. Dunn dunn indeed.
In the end, what Im most excited about is the inevitable 300th episode, wherein Jim Carey will portray an animated elephant with an unfortunately roaming trunk.

Elephants with roaming trunks? It's like tentacle rape, but with some bestiality mixed in!
ReplyGreat looking website!
ReplyI enjoy reading your posts. Thanks for all the hard work. Sara
ReplyMoscow on the Hudson, actually a very good movie for Williams.
ReplyI will add Good Will Hunting
But seriously, Popeye?
The big screen adaption of the one cartoon that all kids said "oh shit, why can't it be tom and jerry" to?

ReplyI can not agree with you in 100% regarding some thoughts, but you got good point of view...
Ah, dammit. I wanted to be the one to bring up "Dead Again". I'm always a day late and an obscure reference short!
ReplyWhat about Hook? Eh? Ehhh?
Reply"Dead Again" was a fairly decent Robin Williams movie. He wasn't a main character, though. Prob a good thing.
ReplyActually, Jerry Lewis didn't play a sexual predator, he played the uncle of one of the main characters who was suffering from dementia and ended up killing a sexual predator. But I only know this off the top of my head because the episode was on just last night (because TV might as well just be renamed "the Law & Order Box", since it's ALL THAT'S ON EVER).
ReplyDoes no one remember Mork and Mindy? If you didn't like it, then you hate Everything.
ReplyKurtwood Smith(the dad in dead poet's society) has alway's played a pretty good dbag.
ReplyHis portrayal of Clarence Bodiker in RoboCop has always been one of my favorite villain portrayals on film. He was funny.
I still liked the Dead Poet's Society despite the fact that most people do not look past the surface apparent moral. Most people watch it and think, "Carpe Diem! We should live each day to the fullest!" But they miss the fact that there are always consequences to your actions...hence, suicide. Hence, crazy teacher loses his job. Etc.
ReplyI despise Dead Poet's Society. I actually blame the teacher for the kid's suicide just as much as the dbag dad.
ReplyWow, I guess I'm alone in thinking One Hour Photo blew nuts. It was shot beautifully, I'll definitely give it that. But I thought the plot was confusing, the male nudity was unnecessary, the ending was total shite, and the good part was when he bought that anime action figure.
ReplyBut I liked Aladdin and his Live on Broadway special so I guess my opinion's worthless.
I liked Dead Poets Society...I thought it was pretty good actually.
ReplySorry, the Robin Williams hate is just uncool. Can I think of anything good he's been in recently? No. Are all his interviews the same? Yep. But at some point in the early 80s, probably after Popeye, he became my favorite comedian. I thought he was completely brilliant, and the coke-fueled rambling was just the funniest thing EVAR. So he's forever on a pedestal in my mind, even though he hasn't done much worth noting in the last 10 years. And anyone who is responsible for the script of the Cracked News has very little room to talk about stale jokes. I'm just saying.
Replypopeye rules!
Replymy teacher thought 'dead poets society' was totally awesome. So i spent the next few years avoiding anything with robin williams in it, but then i stumbled upon 'one hour photo' and it was really good (i liked how he did not rape these people at the end).
ReplyWell, one great movie is not enough to redeem an entire cariere of making totally overblown 'sensitive' movies that just don't ressonate with anyone (except for some theachers apperently).
The genie...was obnoxious.
ReplyHello!! Doesn't anyone remember Aladin? That was one of the best movies he's ever been in. Can you think of any one else who have kicked as much ass as a genie? He sings, he grants wishes and he fits in a lamp for your carrying convienience. What could possibly be better than that?
