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.

Why doesn’t everybody simply throw the ball backwards off a defender so that it bounces forwards into the end zone where you can recover it

Providence Police Chief Col. Oscar L. Perez Jr. said that Valente acted alone as far as authorities know.
Law enforcement officials have also not recovered any manifesto-like document detailing the motivations for the attack, Perez said.

One of the best pieces I ever read in The New Yorker, not surprisingly, was by Roger Angell. "This Old Man" was written when Angell was 94! Truly fantastic stuff: www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

As a society, we're much, much more sympathetic to addicts and addiction than we used to be. But we still fall into the belief once a person goes into recovery, they're fine (this is sometimes a narrative pushed by the addicts themselves.) But that is not always, or even most often, the case.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

Directing “The Princess Bride “ AND “When Harry Met Sally” is like a baseball pitcher throwing two perfect games.
As will be noted over and over in the coming days, the *beginning* of his directing career was SPINAL TAP, THE SURE THING, THE PRINCESS BRIDE, STAND BY ME, A FEW GOOD MEN, MISERY and WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. That is an absolutely *amazing* run with quite a lot of variety.
