I wrote a script for Rob and spent a lot of time with him over the course of a year. Watching Michael Moore movies at his house. The annual August clambake.
More than anything else, most of all, he was thoughtful, generous, and kind. A mensch in every sense of the word.

Rep. Don Bacon, R-NE, tells me, regarding the president‘s truth social post about the Reiners being murdered,”I’d expect to hear something like this from a drunk guy at a bar, not the President of the United States. Can the President be presidential?”

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.

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.

Because if you care about securely owning a movie that you love--as opposed to "owning" it only until a license agreement over which you have no control expires without warning--you need a DVD or Blu-ray. The hardware may be yesterday; the concern is very much of this moment.
Why do (us) old people want to burden Gen Z with our nostalgia for an antique piece of hardware in the first place?
A (quite) young movie lover said to me recently, "Not everybody can afford a DVD player," and I said "How much do you think a DVD player costs?"
He said, "I don't know, like $500?"
Those of us who advocate physical media are maybe not doing the best job of messaging.

More strongman moves from a weak President. Good to see these legislators reject the threats of violence and retribution. They stood up to the bully and did what they believed was right. That's how leaders should act in a Democracy.
