Eh, Robin Williams 10 years ago maybe. Robin Williams now can still be funny, but the annoyance factor tips the scale for me.

I agree with Wellsy. In his prime, Robin Williams was brilliant, but it's kinda dumbing down now.

Oh, really? I don't think the unfunnyness of Happy Feet was his fault, because this was fairly recent:

Happy Feet was a pile of shite that not even Robin Williams could save.

Was RV really bad then? It didn't seem so from the adverts, but Licence to Wed and another film I've seen adverts of recently both make me weep to think that such a great actor could be reduced to such shit roles.

It's not his fault, I blame Hollywood.

Movies, books, or any form of entertainment that is written to appeal to a wide audience just ends up being banal garbage, seeing as how, unfortunately, the majority of people are stupid.

True. My sister doesn't even know who Lenin and Stalin were.

Popular music. It's like good music without the good.
