    Robin Williams is a talent. Jim Carey can ONLY hope to be compared him. Williams can act in both a comic and a serious role. He can do stand up. Carey is good, Williams is better, IMO.

    According to Dave Meltzer, Rourke backed out.

    And Steve Martin is better than Williams.

    I was at a dinner party last weekend and every woman at the table remarked on how desirable Mickey Rourke once was.

    Then, you have this.

    What's weird is that Rourke's voice is as mutated as much as his face since 25 years ago.

    You can always tell whether Williams is serious or not based on his beard...

    He probably has some brain damage. It is entirely possible.

    I'd say it's pretty damn close to flat-out certain.

    Dozens of concussions from two separate boxing careers...and God knows what else he did that damaged his brain.

    I do think, though, that he's always sounded the same. He's been impossible to understand forever.
