Rob Reiner

[oldmanwinters]

Breaking News from Associated Press:
Two people were found dead at a Los Angeles home owned by director-actor Rob Reiner on Sunday, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.

The official could not publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The Los Angeles Fire Department says it responded to a medical aid request Sunday afternoon and found a 78-year-old man and 68-year-old woman dead inside. . . .

He turned 78 in March, although authorities have not confirmed the identities of the people found dead in Reiner's home in the tony Brentwood neighborhood on the city's west side that's home to many celebrities.

Messages to his representatives were not immediately returned Sunday night.

Sources have confirmed it was indeed Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. It appears to be a case of homicide, knife attack. This is extremely tragic. Rob Reiner, like his father Carl was a true legend as a director/producer/actor. May Rob and his wife rest well. I hope they catch who was responsible for this.

Update: Now it's being said one of their sons was responsible? This is horrible.

[Stu_Padasso]

My God this is horrible. Home invasion?

[oldmanwinters]

Home invasion?

Prevailing Twitter speculation focuses on the couple’s adult son: Nick, who might have also been a resident in the home.

Stabbed to death by their sunstance addicted son. This is bad. I disagree with Rob's in your face politics, but he was a creative force like his father and late first wife.

I never saw it, but Rob and Nick worked on a movie together inspired by their relationship trying to work through Nick's drug addictions:

Damn. One of the most tragic ways to go imaginable.

Saw this last night while reading my newsfeed getting ready for sleep. Unfolded pretty quickly as a progression of headlines...

"A 78 year old man and a woman were found dead in Rob Reiners home. No word from authorities on the identities. The home is owned by Rob Reiner (78 ) and his wife."

20 minutes later
"Rob Reiner found dead with wife in home. Murder investigating pending"

20 minutes later
"Multiple sources say Rob Reiner and Wife stabbed by addict son"

Wild year for celebrities. This, the whole Gene Hackman thing, Ozzy...

Two of my favorite movies are: Stand By Me and The Princess Bride, so I'll always be thankful for Reiner's contributions to our pop culture history. It's amazing how much better each of those movies is than the literary source material, and I think Reiner had a ton to do with that.

And relationship between Archie Bunker and The Meathead" was top-tier sitcom fodder.

Trump is such an asshole. Karma will come for him someday

Was Reiner pretty TDSed? I just watched him on Bill Maher's podcast about a month ago and he didn't seem TOO far out there. There was one point where Reiner was saying there isn't any talking to Trump people and Maher started arguing with him about that, but that was about it.

Oh yeah, he produced a documentary a couple of years ago called "God and Country" where he really went hard into Trump and the religious-people who voted for him:

Dang. Whole cities were burning around him from BLM and he was obsessed with "Christian Nationalism violence"?

[Mayhem]

You know Trump’s response to Reiner’s death is too far into the word salad dementia drug drunkenness when sections of his supporters are railing against what he said.

I will say it again, while the Dema concealing Biden’s deterioration was bad, this is a whole new scale and you can’t keep the orange diaper turd in the hot seat.

At least Trump knows that you can't play NTSC PSOne games in a PAL U.K. Playstation. He'll be fine.

I like Princess Bride and I'm always happily surprised when typecast comedy directors like him can turn around and do such compelling drama like A Few Good Men. Jonathan Demme was like that also, slumming it on comedies before doing Silence of the Lambs.

Terrible way to die. A husband and wife murdered by their own son, the bodies discovered by their daughter. Very hard to read about and you hope it never happens to anyone you know.

Forgot he did that one! Another American classic!

Reiner will always be Marty Di Bergi to me. When I saw he'd died last night I had to confirm, and that's when I learned it was a murder, and the prime suspect was his son. This one hurts, Rob was a brilliant filmmaker (oh, and don't forget he directed the adaptation of Stephen King's Misery with Kathy Bates.)

Misery and Stand by me are the only films of his that I have seen, but I love them both quite a bit. Kathy Bates is an amazing actress.

You haven't seen The Princess Bride? Inconceivable! You need to remedy that ;)

The name of that movie made me always assume that it was a chick flick.

It's a great flick - very quotable.... check it out!

I will. I also forgot that I have seen Spinal Tap a long time ago.

Well, its narrative was framed by “a kissing book.”

A 48-hour police detention could have been a life-saver in this scenario. Tragic.
