I’m absolutely gutted this morning learning about the tragic death of film titan Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner.
They were found dead at their home with knife wounds. Even more tragic is who the alleged killer is. Not spreading rumors here until it’s verified, obviously.
Now Reiner was an absolute legend in the film industry. His filmography is awe-inducing. From « This is Spinal Tap » to « The Princess Bride » « Stand by Me » … « When Harry Met Sally » (where his mom had a famous cameo with an iconic line)… « Misery » … « A Few Good Men »… he was a brilliant director and a gifted actor, too.
Just seeing him on screen made me smile.
Most recently I spotted him guest starring in season 4 of « The Bear » and basically screamed « Is that Rob Reiner?!? »
Reiner was a true positive force who used his platform to speak against injustices and to be an advocate for progressive causes.
The details of his tragic death broke my heart. But then things got worse.
In discussions about his passing on Reddit, several commenters said: « don’t go on X or Facebook… people are celebrating his death there ». Huh? It’s because he was a progressive activist. I have no words.
What a sad sad day 💔 I’ll be focusing my attention on another self-hosting guide to distract myself.
Rest in peace Rob and Michele 🤍🕊️
