Hey! My book Good Game No Rematch is now more than half-off with Amazon’s Black Friday sale! If you’re looking for the perfect gift for the video game fan in your life (and/or you have no idea what to get them) this silly book fits the bill quite nicely! https://t.co/TYfNdUuskk

Few movies were more important to me growing up than Stand By Me. My dad showed it to me, and it's just one of those untouchably perfect films about the joys and anguish of that crucial moment right before you're about to become the person you end up being. I'll never get over it
After Rob Reiner screened Stand by Me (1986) for Stephen King, he noticed that King was visibly shaking and wasn’t speaking. Stephen King left the room, then returned and told Rob Reiner it was the best adaptation of his work he had ever seen. RIP Rob Reiner.

I got to interview Rob Reiner for the Criterion Spinal Tap anniversary bonus contents. We talked about his career for an hour, they switched off the cameras, and then we talked for another hour about movies and mutual friends and how weird life was. An empathetic, unhurried

I’m fascinated by the number of Trumpies I’ve seen insisting that Trump’s Rob Reiner coke rant is fake.

Carl Reiner gave Rob Reiner a copy of The Princess Bride, and Rob Reiner loved it and its father/son love story so much he turned it into a movie (with a grandfather and grandson). Three days before Carl’s death in 2020, he and Rob reenacted the final scene and “As you wish”

Every time he does or says something truly awful — like he did today — we get another bottle of champagne to have on hand for the street party that is going to break out two seconds after the news breaks. We've got enough on hand now to get half of Seattle drunk.

Still processing the news about Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle. It made me think about the video he did with his father Carl Reiner, right before he passed away.

Trump implying that one of his supporters murdered Rob Reiner for criticizing him is really something

Outside of The Game Awards, a video game union gathered in protest. "Anyone who works in the games industry can identify that our art form is being sold for parts to make a few people a lot of money." My latest at The Guardian. https://t.co/YAEI7DPuZz

Outside the lavish event, workers called out the ‘greed’ in the industry that has left games ‘being sold for parts to make a few people a lot of money’

#RIPRobReiner Our careers and lives intersected often over the decades from Rob writing the pilot script for Happy Days and then as we each shifted from acting careers into directing and producing. He proved to be a superlative filmmaker, a supportive colleague and at all times

Truly one of my favorite directors and shaped some much of my taste and sensibilities. When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men, The American President are my Mount Rushmore of films that made me. Just wow!

All In The Family Spinal Tap A Few Good Men When Harry Met Sally Princess Bride Stand By Me That’s just the start… And without Castle Rock (Rob’s company) you wouldn’t have Seinfeld among many other iconic tv shows and films.

At first I read this as “that magic school bus series” and then got really, really disappointed that there’s not a ton of self-inserts learning about the human body from an off-brand Ms. Frizzle
Some authors don’t even try to hide the fact that their books are meant to be fanfic for that magic school series…

Here’s the questions this CBS town hall used to screen people who signed up to be in the audience, btw:
When asked about some of Charlie Kirk's most controversial statements, which have captured the attention of the political left and been painted as proof of hateful rhetoric, Erika Kirk said she hopes people read her husband's full comments on each of those occasions. "My husband
