Vale Rob Reiner

[Bramblethorn]

Rob Reiner and his wife Michele have reportedly been found dead in their home, with a family member alleged to have killed them.

Dude made some great movies. What a stupid waste.

Horrible tragedy.

Reiner's run as a director from 1984 to 1992 is as good as anyone's.

Well, that just caps off a shit 24 hours.

 

[Smuttyandfun]

Very sad.

Moment of silence. Notes eerie similarities to Phil Hartman’s death a while back.

I felt this news in the pit of my stomach. Such a loss. Rob had his own brand of genius. Princess Bride was a masterpiece.

...a family member...

Now that's news to me. It's not yet mentioned in the NYT reporting.

Well, that just caps off a shit 24 hours.

It certainly does. Seems like the world is falling apart at the seams.

Kathy Griffin has been the one posting on social media about the family members, one the alleged attacker, the other who found them. Claims it's info being passed around "Hollywood" via texts, DMs, and such.

To my knowledge, no official source has as yet confirmed.

That's so sad. He was very talented and seemed like a good man.

One of my favorite films of his was the mockumentary This is Spinal Tap. But it's a long list of entertaining films.

People Magazine is claiming that multiple sources have told them it was their son, but I wouldn't consider them the most reliable source.

To my knowledge, no official source has as yet confirmed.

NYT confirmed an hour ago from booking records that Rob and Michele's son Nick has been arrested. So, so sad all around, the article indicated that Nick had a very troubled life including drug addition and homelessness.
