Description
Sadly, this was not at all what I had planned to post today. Just tragic all around. The unnecessary loss is tragic, and the circumstances (still under investigation) are certainly tragic. My heart breaks for this family, especially as the holiday draws nearer.


Anyway, for those who have not heard the news, Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle were found dead yesterday. I won’t go into the details of the investigation, as it’s still underway. Plus, that’s not what really matters here anyway.

While Rob Reiner was a wonderful comedic actor, he had a much bigger impact on me as a director. While I was obviously aware that he directed some of my favorite films, I had no idea just how many until I looked at the list today. Practically his entire body of work as a director includes films that land at various places on my all-time favorites list. A Few Good Men, The American President, When Harry Met Sally, Ghosts of Mississippi, The Princess Bride, Misery, Stand By Me, The Sure Thing, and This Is Spinal Tap, just to name a few. It’s hard to imagine, going forward, that watching any of these will not be a bittersweet experience. My thoughts, prayers, and heartfelt condolences to the Reiner family and his fans all around the world.

Also, please send some of that love and prayers to the all people affected by the shootings in Australia and Brown University.

Rob did some wonderful stuff. What a sad and horrible end for him and his wife.

It truly has been a gut wrenching few days.  So sad, just heartbreaking. :(

This one really hits me like a punch in the gut, especially considering he circumstances of his and his wife's demise.  A great man, a great activist, a great actor, a great director ... what a director!  When you look back at his works, each movie is more significant, enjoyable & memorable than the last.  We lost so much ... RIP, Rob Reiner, and thank you so much.

I know exactly where you're coming from.  I mean, all these losses are sad, right?  But this one affected me even more than I was truly expecting.  Yes, he was a great human being. Obviously I only knew him in his capacity as an entertainer.  But from everything I've heard and read, he was greatly respected and much loved.  As a Director, his track record for me was unmatched.  Put it this way, the first 6-7 films he ever directed are all on my favorites list.  I only came to that realization today.  But I can't say that about any of my other favorite Directors.  What makes it so sad is that I think he had so much more to do and so much more to say as an artist.  His story should not be over.  Nowhere near.  But sadly and tragically, it is.  In the past, when this kind of loss has occurred, I would normally put on one of their movies (or listen to an album).  But honestly, I think if I tried to do that tonight, it would hurt too much.  Rest in peace Mr. Reiner.  And thank you for all your timeless gifts.

I don't believe in hell. I think we're living in the closest thing to it. Just in my lifetime: JFK. RFK. MLK. John Lennon. Sal Mineo. Wally Wood. Kent State. My Lai. Al the school shootings and mass shootings. 9-11. Gaza. Our psychopath "president". Human tragedy upon human tragedy.

Rob will always live in memory as Meathead and as Snake on The Partridge Family to me.
