No, really. And I was re-watching Spinal Tap a few days ago, too.Not sure why CNN isn't naming them. I found out from an Apple News alert via Rolling Stone, who are confirming that he and his wife are the victims. So long, meathead. North is no longer the worst thing that happened to you.

SkyboxWriter posted:No, really. The official statements from LAFD just said 'a man and a woman were found deceased inside, approximately 78 and 68 years old, around 3:30 p.m.' There's not been any confirmation of the names, but the ages line up to Reiner and his wife so everyone's making the assumption. The really gross one is People.com is claiming their son stabbed them, with only 'multiple sources' telling them that despite LAPD not even saying they have a suspect in the case

Stabbed to death is very low on my list of ways to go, RIP big meat and wife.

His son did it apparently.

Just like the end of When Harry Met Sally.

The ghost of Roger Ebert for making North

This is the first celebrity death in a while that really makes me very sad

He knew better than to sit in Archie’s chair.

Rip, I think South Park made fun of him once cause he said smoking was bad for you but he was fat which is also bad for you

People Magazine is reporting that he was stabbed to death by his son Nick That's crazy

I watch too much Dateline but being stabbed to death in your own home is sadly an indicator that it's very personal and not some rando. drat. Reiner always seemed like a good dude.

Kudos and thanks to whoever changed the tag; I was so stunned by the news that I forgot to select one.MadJackal posted:I worry that his legacy becomes like Phil Hartman's or Trevor Moore's where every mention is just, "RIP, so sad." For sure, absolutely. But that's just what happens. I was going to revisit Princess Bride soon over the holiday break and now it's going to hit hard in a very different way than it ever did before.

That’s so sad. We just watched the original spinal Tap and the new one yesterday. This sucks

Billy Crystal came to the scene. Maybe they called him in case Rob was only mostly dead?

He had a lot of integrity that I have admired. He was up for good causes that could benefit everyone and it seemed to give many ire. I was worried that it was someone with a different ideology that could have done it as a result.

I'd like to thank Nick Reiner on behalf of all the other failsons out there. This type of double murder really takes the heat off. Just in time for the holidays too.

When you turn it up past eleven Rob Reiner goes to heaven ~*~good night, sweet prince~*~

guess you could say this murder...was all in the family but a very sad way to go. my first reaction to the headline was assuming it was natural causes and hey, he's had a long life and done a lot. I was not expecting the details
|

That's how he's died in South Park.

Ruh-roh, romebody racked Rob Reiner!

Nthing the “wtf is going on?” Did the moon dancing with Pleiades send a signal to the government implanted nanobots to activate people’s brainworms for the holidays or something

and yet Andy Dick gets to survive a fentanyl OD by way of the one-two punch of smoking a bunch of rock and someone having naloxone on hand at the scene
