Mick LaSalle mourns Robin Williams: “Would you mind if I said how much I hate that this happened?”

I’ll be more dignified in print, but would you mind if I said how much I hate that this happened? That I hated what happened to Philip Seymour Hoffman and now I hate what happened to Robin Williams? You want people who give so much to get what they deserve. But Williams gave so much more than he got. Yes, we still have the movies. But I wish he had more — more time, more peace. He deserved it.
