Robert DeNiro Makes Billy Crystal An Overly Familiar Offer He Can't Refuse In Analyze This

Looking over Billy Crystal's IMDb recently, I was surprised to realize that the guy was never really a prominent fixture of American cinema. He's done a number of hugely popular movies like When Harry Met Sally, City Slickers and the two Monsters Inc. features of course, but aside from a brief period in the last few years of the 1990's, he was never a Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler or Melissa McCarthy type figure who was doing one or two comedies annually. The guy's etched his way into being a perennial staple of American pop culture by way of being a superb awards host and stand-up comic but he was the kind of the fellow who just seemed to do comedy feature films infrequently.

Robin Williams Received An Emotional Tribute At The Emmys

The passing of Robin Williams has been a truly tragic time for many, myself included. Seeing a man who brought so much joy to our live leave this world under such devastating circumstances...it's gut-wrenching. But last night, during the Emmy's, Billy Crystal gave us all a chance to appreciate how wonderful of a comedian and a person Williams was. Crystals monologue is extremely humorous, especially the numerous humorous lines he quotes from Robin Williams, but it's the video montage, namely at the end, that really gets at me. See it four yourself in this extremely touching video.
