| Heartbreaking! I love The Princess Bride and quote it all the time to my kids. |

Has any director ever had a run like Reiner did with these seven movies in nine years? Spinal Tap, The Sure Thing, Stand By Me, Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, Misery, A Few Good Men. Two of the best Stephen King adaptations, he was a huge part of what made the 80s the best decade for movies.
His wife took the photo for the cover of The Art of the Deal. |
This, and the range! Spinal Tap is a parody of a documentary, Stand By Me a coming if age drama, Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally romantic comedies, and A Few Good Men a courtroom/military drama. What other director works across genres like that? And think of the actors in those movies and the sometimes career-defining or career-launching nature of those roles? Truly epic. I'm so sad. |
DM is often right about these things. |
Other outlets are now also reporting the son as a Person of Interest. This is so sad. |
Not PP but I think PP means DCUM is the first place he/she saw this news. |
It is hard to escape drugs or other influences if the person wants to seek them out. I know people who moved to small towns for this reason, and it did not work. |
All of our public schools have drug problems. Do you think rehab is only filled with kids of celebs? Please don’t be so ignorant about addiction. |
No. He has battled mental heath issues and addictions. He made a movie based on it. https://people.com/celebrity/nick-reiner-rob-reiners-son-opens-up-about-drug-addiction-living-on-streets/ |

My guess is either he was in drug fueled psychosis and didn’t really know what he was doing, or he was lucid and his parents did something (told him that he was cut off?) that enraged him so much that he killed them.
How absolutely awful and heartbreaking. My heart goes out to the family, this is tragic. |
People can find drugs everywhere if they are motivated. Scoring at NA meetings isn’t unheard of. A coworker put her son in rehab and only took him out to attend a family funeral. She flew with him and he was only out of her sight to go to the bathroom on the plane. By the time they landed, it was clear that he’d taken something. They end up in the ER. He got pills from someone on the plane. |

My friend’s son briefly had a drug problem. He had a bad lsd trip and tried to stab his dad. He was hallucinating and thought his dad was an actual monster. He didn’t know it was his dad. He did actually cut him and there was blood at the scene, but his dad was ok. As he was being taken away in an ambulance, he thought the trees were attacking him.
When I hear of something like this, it’s what my mind goes to. If it was their son, a part of me hopes he was high and didn’t know what he was doing and that they knew that. |

When Harry Met Sally was my favorite movie. He was clearly one of the best directors of all time.
I'm grateful for his legacy. I pray for his family at this time. I can't image a more tragic way to die. His family will feel the impacts of this for many years. |

Don't be absurd. This happens in every community in this country. We have a drug problem. Thanks to MAGA morons the drugs are coming in faster now. Rehabs rarely work as well. |
