There was soooo much improvisation and adjusting on the set. A perfect film. A tremendous collaboration amongst many talented artists.
When Harry Met Sally has an impeccable script, of course, but SO much of the comedy in that movie is in the directing. Where would Harry’s confession about his wife leaving him be without the wave interrupting it at a baseball game? Also, the most gorgeous fall shot in history?

Good god I want Jeff Wells to suffer so much personal pain and misfortune. What a vile piece of shit.
Jeff Wells never misses at being the worst.

I think the perhaps wildly narcissistic and self loving person saying they’re gonna do a bunch more of these cbs Town Halls is missing the key point that these types of primetime network tv news things are popular if u have a host who is sexy and charismatic and who viewers know the name of

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. >

Trump on Brown University: You would really have to ask the school about that because this was a school problem. They had their own guards, their own police, their own everything but you would have to ask that question to the school and not to the FBI.

Trump says Rob Reiner was “one of the people behind” the “Russia hoax,” which I hesitate to call stupid because it resets the curve for stupidity so dramatically.
Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?

TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Just to get ahead of this: Print the post out and bring it to the next Mike Johnson presser. You already know what his move will be. There’s no excuse to not be prepared for it.

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.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

Tremendous thread
When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Oh wow, the NYT finally decided to say his name. I guess they had to wait until 582638 places did before they could give credit to a Muslim man for doing something good.
The bystander who tackled one of the gunmen in the attack on a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney was seriously injured, according to Australian officials, who on Monday identified him as Ahmed el Ahmed. He is recovering in a hospital.

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.
