A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die"

Yeah, he's insulting a murdered national treasure, but its great content, though.

All the stuff you love about Reiner as a director - all the stuff you notice, & more importantly don't notice - is because he was a really good actor.
In order for his casualness to work here and at many other points throughout the movie, Marty diBergi as a character needed to be in the moment. Whether a bit was improvised or a reworked, carefully honed moment, Reiner brought it. Asking this question just right is what makes *that* punchline.
"Why don't you just make 10 louder and make 10 be the top number and make that a little louder?"

Reading about Rob Reiner & his wife Michele, I am heartsick.

I think of this line from Stand By Me: “Two men got into an argument. One of them pulled a knife. Chris, who had always made the best peace, tried to break it up…”

Rest in peace. Life is not fair, but we do the best that we can with it.

People are talking about Rob Reiner as a director which they should. But I think he also deserves some credit as an actor. Specially his role in Scorsese's Wolf of Wall Street where he delivers one of the Top 10 funniest scenes in that movie.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.

Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

Every year for Hanukkah I like to share panels from this special holiday comic I edited when I was on staff at Marvel. There remains a dearth of specifically Hanukkah stories in comics and this one only ever appeared in print once.

Every year I am proud to share and celebrate the light of Hanukkah:

I listen to Last Christmas on purpose.

More often the Jimmy Eat World version than the Wham! original, but it’s a good song. You are all incorrect.
