Rob Reiner and his wife have been killed

[samhexum]

Stabbed in their home.  He was 78.

[jeezifonly]

This makes me so sad. I worked on a gala performance honoring his father in 2016 and got a moment backstage to thank him for his Marriage Equality advocacy.  An artist and mensch who will be missed. 

[BSR]

People, not exactly the gold standard in journalism, reports that both Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle have been murdered and that the killer is his son.  The murder of two people is tragic.  If the killer is indeed his son, that adds an order of magnitude to the tragedy that’s hard to wrap your head around.

[ICTJOCK]

Very tragic.   I also read the story about the son.   Troubling.   Thoughts and prayers to their family.   A real loss.

I found him fairly attractive when he was on ALL IN THE FAMILY and masturbated about Mike Stivic a few times.

When I used to gather address listings for work I did his childhood building twice (the last one on the Grand Concourse {3324} on the opposite side as Yankee Stadium, right across from Penny Marshall's, which was the last one on the same side as the stadium).

 Fairly attractive? Really? Bozo was repulsed by  Mike Stivic's pudgy face, balding head, Fu Manchu moustache, and stooped shoulders. That hair combover could only be described a disaster! His physical unattractiveness combined with his ungrateful, nasty attitude towards his father-in-law made him a very unappealing character on the Bozo scale of male pulchritude.

As for the act of self-gratification that you described (which was TMI btw), Bozo would sooner have an orgasm fantasizing over a naked cousin Maude!

I was an awkward teen who had yet to grow into my eventual avatar perfection and I found some less than perfect men attractive.  The heart wants what it wants and so does the cock.

Rob was also very involved in liberal causes and co-founded the group that successfully over turned the ban on gay marriage in California.

I was never sexually attracted to him. In fact, as a child I thought ’Meathead’ was quite gross.

Nevertheless, he gave us the Princess Bride, and for that he will always be a God.

[EZEtoGRU]

So Sad.  I appreciated his advocacy for important causes as well as his film work.   RIP.

The body isn't even cold yet, but our resident clown is already hurling insults at the deceased.  Tacky and thoughtless as usual.

Did you read Bozo's comments? They were all about the character Mike Stivic, not the person, Rob Reiner.
Also, please respect COM rules. Attack the comment, not the poster.

Amen!

Absolutely terrible, no other words.. 

Words matter and the President really needs to choose his wisely, because he did not this time🥺

 

Such a tragedy🥺

I'll never understand comments that have the sole purpose of yucking someone else's yum.  Such comments only serve to demean people who have a different view.

Here's what James Woods, a conservative had to say on Rob Reiner's murder.  Pitch perfect...

"Rob and I remained good friends ever since we made GHOSTS OF MISSISSIPPI. The studio didn't think I was old enough to do the part, but Rob fought for me. Political differences never stood in the way of our love and respect for each other. I am devastated by this terrible event."

And here's what Rob Reiner said about Charlie Kirk's murder...

In an interview with Piers Morgan, Reiner said he felt “absolute horror” at how and why Kirk was killed.

“That should never happen to anybody,” Reiner said. “I don’t care what your political beliefs are, that’s not acceptable. That’s not a solution to solving problems. And I felt like what his wife said at the service, at the memorial they had, was exactly right.”

Reiner continued, “And, totally, I believe — you know, I’m Jewish — but I believe in the teachings of Jesus, and I believe in ‘Do unto others.’ And I believe in forgiveness. And what she said, to me, was beautiful and absolutely — you know — she forgave his assassin. And I think that that is admirable.”

Yep. Lots of people need to choose their words more wisely…including on this thread. What’s next…hurling insults and hate at the victims on Bondi Beach?  People’s choices are astounding nowadays. 

[SidewaysDM]

I find the intellectual and differing perspectives on this forum really stimulating and interesting. Without being disrespectful to any members, please try and be supportive and kind to everyone who has been affected by the senseless murder of Rob and Michele Singer Reiner. Please let’s celebrate the fact that Rob Reiner was a constant and influential supporter for the LGBTQ community. Truly, my heart and prayers go out to their family and friends at this tragic time.

I thought it was Archie who had the nasty attitude and his onscreen son the enlightened sunshine attitude. Supported by his on screen wife, Archie’s screen daughter.

Son-in-law. Not son.
And lest we forget, it was Archie's home. Mike was living in Archie's house rent free for years while Archie was paying all of the expenses. There were references to Mike paying Archie back at some future time, though that never happened, at least not on screen. It was Mike who should have adapted to Archie, not the other way around.
And Mike's attitude was anything but enlightened sunshine.

Let’s remember that Archie Bunker’s offscreen son was Norman Lear, the show’s executive producer.  Lear publicly acknowledged that the character of Archie Bunker was modeled after his real-life father Herman Lear.  Of course Norman loved his father, but what surprised and deeply touched Lear was that as flawed as Archie was, America ended up loving his father.
