Stop lying about Rob Reiner!
Regardless of politics, I don't get all the accolades about him being "one of the all time greats," and a genius director who made so many wonderful movies. [N.S.: But politics is all there is to those people! Communists are like black supremacists. If you're one of us, you're "beautiful" and "a genius."]
Spinal Tap was funny and clever but hardly earth-shaking. Princess Bride didn't make the impression on me it seems to have made on everybody else; people say it's very quotable, but that's the writer's doing, not Reiner's (I think William Goldman wrote it); Misery must be his best effort. I thought it was a good story, very well-done. When Harry Met Sally is something I wouldn't watch even if I had a thousand more years to live; Stand by Me, if it's the movie I think it is, was a vile piece of garbage that I turned off after about 10 minutes: a Stephen King snipe at the 1950s, in which he dishonestly depicts children of that era as foul-mouthed little punks who blast horrid rock music from their transistor radios. NO WAY.
As far as I can gauge, a competent director who could make a good movie out of good material, which is no great feat. And as an actor, he'll always be known for one thing: playing a role which was basically himself.
And he was a horrible human being.

SHRINK(S)MADE NICK REINER GO NUTS BY GIVING HIM THE WRONG PSYCH MEDS FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA
GRA:A crapshoot with psych meds anyways, Nick Reiner's drug use changed his brain and was probably not curable.
(Page six)Nick Reiner diagnosed with schizophrenia before murders, meds made him ‘erratic and dangerous’: sources.
Nick Reiner was reportedly diagnosed with schizophrenia before the gruesome murders of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, and the medications he was taking were allegedly making him act “erratic and dangerous.”
Sources told TMZ Friday that Nick, 32, was under the care of a psychiatrist for mental illness, claiming that his behavior had become “alarming” in the weeks leading up to his parents’ stabbing deaths.
About a month before the killings, doctors reportedly changed Nick’s meds, at which point he became “out of his head.”
They were reportedly in the process of adjusting his meds to stabilize him when tragedy struck.(GRA:Like lightning?)
GRA:Line from "All in the Family":
Archie:Anyone who goes to see a shrink,ought to have their head examined.
Rob Reiner:An oldie,but a goodie,eh,Archie?
Archie:AND...this is very important... never let a cuckoo bird live in the same house with normal people.
Rob:That's probably the first thing you've said that I agree with,Archie.
Archie:I saw it in a Chink fortune cookie,Meathead. Now get outta my way.
