Rob Reiner Dead

[Cosmo_ac]

Not going to lie. I'm pissed. Very FUCKING pissed. But i'm going to leave the politics out of this, and will ask for others to leave the politics out of this. It's very, VERY tempting to bring it in, but please, leave it out. We have a politics forum for that. Or any number of other places for that. Please, leave it there.

So, Rob Reiner. I will say the first experience i had with his work, would be "The Princess Bride". This was a classic in my house. It was something i've watched probably more than a dozen times, which is a lot for me. It was a staple of my childhood. I've learned recently just how many films, great films, he made. "This is Spinal Tap" is another great movie I saw earlier on, another great movie.

BY all acounts, this man seemed to be a good man. Yes, he was political, but when we look at those who have sent regards, who thought good of him, who morns his death, we see it from both sides. This is a guy who, yes, not perfect, yes, not neutral, but when we get to brass tacks, was respected and liked by both sides. This was a good man.

And I'm going to miss him.

Yeah terrible and to find out that Dick Van Dyke had his 100th only to find this out and that obviously he was very close to the family. Might be another victim soon. 🙁

Rest In Peace Rob and Michelle Reiner. I personally enjoyed all of the movies he made that I have had an opportunity to watch

I missed this post. Im not quite sure why youre mentioning politics, and I say that in the friendliest, most questioning, least confrontational way possible, as the nature of his passing has been associated with his son. I dont really see the politics in that, unless youre referring to something else, but you asked people not to talk about it, so that's all I'll say.

It truly is a shame how this all played out and he seemed like a good person who touched a lot of lives. RIP

Yeah, Rob's death is a true shocker. I didn't know his son Nick possibly suffered from schizophrenia and possibly other forms of mental illness. I'm really hoping that illness didn't cause Rob's son to do something terrible. This is just tragic. 🙁

Seems like it. Im not familiar with the guy, but he didn't deserve to go out the way he did. Nor with the public scrutiny after his passing. Shameful. Truly shameful. RIP to a legend
