When filmmaker Marina Zenovich sought to make a documentary about Robin Williams, she found that she could do it in the late comedian’s own voice.
“Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind,” uses archival footage to put viewers inside his thought process – mirroring a routine Williams used as acomic in the 1970s. The film, which includes interviews with David Letterman and Billy Crystal, premiered Monday on HBO and is available on its streaming service, HBO Now. Friends and relatives, including Williams’ son Zak, also share memories.
The documentary is intended to celebrate the artist, Zenovich said, and her team “handcrafted” the project
Blockbuster isn’t yet selling Russell Crowe’s jockstrap
Everything in the closing Blockbuster video stores in Alaska is for sale, except the celebrity jockstrap.
The Anchorage store is not yet selling the jockstrap worn by Russell Crowe in the 2005 movie “Cinderella Man” and other memorabilia owned by the actor, KTUU-TV reported. The stores in Anchorage and Fairbanks, the last two stores in the state, closed for rentals this week and reopened for video liquidation sales.
The host of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver” sent the items earlier this year in an effort to ramp up business. Oliver purchased the items at what Crowe had dubbed “the divorce auction.”
The fate of the items has not been determined, said Alan Payne, the owner of the stores.
