  • Rob and Michele Reiner

    From Digital Man@VERT to All on Tuesday, December 16, 2025 02:55:12
    So sad about their death and the way it (apparently) happened.

    All In The Family was a major prime time show during my childhood so of course I knew him from there and then all his films (especially This Is Spinal Tap, but he made many greats). He was a good man with an apparently very sick kid. Such a shame.

    The Princess Bride, This is Spinal Tap, Stand by Me, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men, The American President...

    He was responsible for so many wonderful films.

    Let's not forget "When Harry met Sally" "Stand by me" and others.
    What a horrible way to go.

    i saw them on a show and the dad and son were there and they said the son was no longer on drugs. he looked fried. i think he never kicked drugs. he was hard wired for it. i heard a rumor that the parents were cutting the son off and that's what caused the incident.

    dunno, now i see that he was at a conan o'brien christmas party that day and acting badly. rob brought him to the party to keep and eye on him.

    he's facing the death pentalty. i think they're going to mental illness route for defense.

    The rewatchables podcast decided to have a special episode dedicated to Reiner's works. They picked, of all movies, "The Sure Thing" - a movie
    pitched as a teen sex comedy, except with very little sex, interesting characters, a keen eye for picking actors who exemplified the roles they played, and a 17 year old John Cusack who was emancipated during the
    filming.

    It was his second film after Spinal Tap, and they ranked it one of the
    best 4 teen films - behind Risky Business and ahead of Breakfast Club
    and Ferris Buehler's day off.

    I remember watching that and wanting John Cusack's character's snarky
    sense of humor.
