Dear Mr. Robin Williams,
When we here at If I Blog It They Will Come first began blogging in efforts to get you to visit our blog and send a photo of yourself looking at our site, we felt like your character in the movie What Dreams May Come? We were surrounded by a CGI Universe of aesthetic wonder and beauty. We reveled in the brilliance of your work and were enamored with the enrichment that it had brought into our lives. It was all around us and even though you weren’t with us, we knew that with each post a faint whisper told you how much we cared about the fine work you had done as both as an actor/comedian/humanitarian.
Months passed, posts went up. We felt a joy in re-watching some of our favorite flicks like Good Morning Vietnam, Toys, Mrs. Doubtfire, Death To Smoochy, One Hour Photo and of course your Oscar® winning turn in Good Will Hunting. It was also a joy to discover some of the gems that we hadn’t seen, such as your heartbreaking performance in Seize The Day.
Now that we’ve been doing this for over a year, we feel like we’re ever so close to achieving our goal, yet we’ve also never felt so distant. It’s like you’re with us…but in a different place. While we’re in heaven watching your films, our inability to reach our goal simultaneously has us standing at the gates of hell with Max Von Sydow and Cuba Gooding Jr. guiding us and not really doing that good of a job.
Like Chris Neilsen looking for his wife Annie, we know it’s up to us to descend beyond those dreaded gates of our own personal hell to find you and convince you to come with us to our magical technicolor world lined adorned with the majesty of your creative accomplishments. You see as much as we enjoy having the memories of the fine work you’ve done, they’re just not complete without your acknowledgement of the fine work we’ve done. The only way to make that circle complete is to have you enhance our cinematic utopia by sending us a photo of yourself looking at our blog to djayek@yahoo.com. Plus, we noticed that the first leg of your tour has come to a close and sort of think that while your at home for the holidays cozying up with a nice cup of hot cocoa, you might be able to put aside a few seconds of photographic bliss for our humble little site.
In any case, we thank you for your time and consideration and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
The We Got Past The River Styx folks at If I Blog It They Will Come
