Looking like they were killed by their son (who has struggled with addiction and mental health issues) with a knife at their home.

I have deleted any posts with reference to the unfortunate public statements on this tragedy by a certain high office holder. Another member has started a thread in Vortex where that issue can be rightly addressed. This thread is not about that guy.
This thread belongs to Rob Reiner, his life, his contributions to our lives, and the horrible tragedy that took him and his wife from us.

Among the tributes I have read I thought this best captured his work.
"As a film-maker, Rob Reiner championed humour, civility and intelligence – qualities you suppose would be out of step with the Hollywood of the 1980s where he made his name,........"
From everything I have seen, read, heard, and viewed those qualities, along with empathy and humility, would also describe how he tried to live his life. We need more of his kind today, not less.
This is Spinat Tap, When Harry Met Sally, Stand By Me, A Few Good Men. Another movie that I liked but did not remember he directed was The Bucket List. His production company gave us the likes of Seinfeld on tv and movies Shawshank Redemption, and The Green Mile.
His work helped shape significant parts of our current culture....the better parts.

A former colleague of mine is severely schizophrenic. He used to be an incredibly good rock climber and mixed martial arts student. About five years ago, he took himself off his meds because he felt they were holding him back, and he disappeared for a month. We finally located him in a rented house in the middle of nowhere, thanks to shared info amongst us and his parents. When we entered the house (it took multiple attempts on two different days to get him to open the door), we found the place trashed, covered in crumpled paper and delivery food containers. This guy is a computer science and calculus teacher, and his best friend is an AP physics teacher, who proceeded to collect all the crumpled papers to try to evaluate where his mind had been over that month. Best he could make out after pouring over about 300 pages of the stuff was that he had been struck by an epiphany that chess could solve all the problems of the universe if applied in certain ways to each problem confronting mankind. Strange, scary and completely disconnected from reality.
A family tragedy, probably one of many that day, the other families we didn't hear about.
Life is the great leveler and all families are as one in these terrible moments.
His film output is truly amazing both for depth and range.
He got Cruise and Nicholson, in that court martial scene, to produce what, for me, is undoubtedly their best performances bar none.
This from, by all accounts a quiet , humble , self effacing man.
RIP

I worked with a guy that I'm pretty sure was schizophrenic. He seemed perfectly normal, at least as far as my casual relationship with him was concerned, but then one day he didn't show up for work. We didn't know what happened, and then one day someone saw mention of him on a police blotter. He was found, naked, blathering gibberish down on skid row. Supposedly, not drugs related either.
Yes.
That was one of the most powerful moments in cinematic history.

Tragedy drug induced schizophrenia or drug compounded at least. Rehab cant fix broken dangerous minds. Better the boy had never lived.
No certifiable person should be free to refuse treatment.
Reiner's movies were wonderful. All in the Family was eons ago. i doubt modern audiences would care to see divergent political and social views argued by characters that grew to love and respect one another.
it was such a step up from its UK origins unlike Sanford and Son which was a dull stepdown.

You big dummy!!!
He is not a dummy at all.
While we, as citizens, search for ways to deal with those who are mentally-disturbed we MUST also have some reasonable expectation that severaly:"disturbed": people will become second in importance to those they have already hurt or will probably hurt.
Reiner's son was and is severely mentally ill. He was mollycoddled and mishandled by irresponsible parents and a profit oriented health care system.
A criminal drug addict with no real qualifications might have to get a real job if the constant churn of users was abated by effective forced treatment.
A call to US homeland security regarding his crimes of moral turpitude might curb his abusive mouth.
You obviously never watched Sanford and Son....lol
An interesting subject but there's a large can of worms to be opened .... I have no objection to compulsory treatment provided the appropriate laws are made. And a court proceeding to determine if they are applicable ..... It isn't that long ago that people were put into institutions so other members of the family could get hold of the family fortune.... Something akin to " conservatorship " laws would be needed...... First you need a law and then a court to determine who needs it ..... The question is .... Are we that dedicated to the problem to pass legislation and put more stress on our courts ? I don't know the answer to that question ......
