When I think of his movies, I think of many other voices: Nora Ephron, Stephen King, Aaron Sorkin, Christopher Guest, Kathy Bates, William Goldman. To me that speaks of generosity, of a spirit of collaboration, of understanding that filmmaking is not a one-man operation. I wish we had more like him.

I've noticed that among movie lovers here, lately there's a renewed appreciation of the craft and polish of '80s/'90s studio movies--their pleasure and polish, their entertainment value. Rob Reiner's early filmography is such a good way to understand that. He knew how to deliver. A true craftsman. >

Big Marky-Mark-woulda-stopped-9/11 energy.
Just in case any journalist or editor reading this is tempted to minimize Trump's Reiner post because it's a "showbiz thing" and "real" stories are happening: No. It's a President thing and a decency thing, and if you don't understand that those things are newsworthy, you are failing in your duties.
One of the great failures of contemporary political news coverage in a lot of media is the unspoken principle that no violation of norms or decency by Trump is really news, worthy of sustained attention, unless it also upsets people who love him. It isn't "not taking the bait"; it's sleepwalking.
When the day comes, I will dance in the streets.
I am Jewish, and it's not a competition.
There's so much to say about Rob Reiner as a director, an activist, and a mensch, but I just can't summon it right now.
I spent this week rewatching a lot of All in the Family for work. It's not Rob Reiner's primary legacy, but it was one of the greatest quartets in TV history, and he was essential in the least rewarding role. He has a scene with Jean Stapleton in S8 that moved me to tears. Where I'll be for a while.
This is one of those times when all of the bad news just sucks the air out of your lungs.
This is true. We chatted publicly on Twitter in early covid days and he was utterly baffled that he couldn't go to big gatherings with people and that everyone in NYC was wearing masks. "I don't get why I need to care about this" was right below the surface.
Now I'll do four that were savaged because they beat acknowledged classics but are actually wonderful: How Green Was My Valley, Mrs. Miniver, In the Heat of the Night, Ordinary People.
(He really wasn't, and most gay people understood exactly what he was doing.)
Why assume they're inattentive to public opinion? One way people attempt to move public opinion is to advocate strongly for things they believe in. If "You always have to meet people where they are" was the law of the land, I'd still be waiting to be able to marry legally.
To those of you whose response to this is an impulse to scold people for using old or dated technology or terminology, let me cite Carly Simon: I haven’t got time for the pain, I haven’t got room for the pain, I haven’t the need for the pain.
