Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner's closest friends have released a joint statement to The Associated Press, paying tribute to the couple.
It is signed by Billy and Janice Crystal, Albert and Kimberly Brooks, Martin Short, Alan and Robin Zweibel, Larry David and Ashley Underwood, Marc Shaiman and Lou Mirabal, Barry and Diana Levinson, and AmbassadorJames Costos and Michael Smith.
"Going to the movies in a dark theater filled with strangers having a common experience, laughing, crying, screaming in fear, or watching an intense drama unfold is still an unforgettable thrill. Tell us a story audiences demand of us. Absorbing all he had learned from his father Carl and his mentor Norman Lear, Rob Reiner not only was a great comic actor, he became a master story teller. There is no other director who has his range. From comedy to drama to 'mockumentary' to documentary he was always at the top of his game. He charmed audiences. They trusted him. They lined up to see his films.
"His comedic touch was beyond compare, his love of getting the music of the dialogue just right, and his sharpening of the edge of a drama was simply elegant. For the actors, he loved them. For the writers he made them better. His greatest gift was freedom. If you had an idea, he listened, he brought you into the process. They always felt they were working as a team. To be in his hands as a film maker was a privilege but that is only part of his legacy.
Rob was also a passionate, brave citizen, who not only cared for this country he loved, he did everything he could to make it better and with his loving wife Michele, he had the perfect partner. Strong and determined, Michele and Rob Reiner devoted a great deal of their lives for the betterment of our fellow citizens... They were a special force together-dynamic, unselfish and inspiring. We were their friends, and we will miss them forever.
"There is a line from one of Robโs favorite films, 'It's a Wonderful Life,' 'Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?' You have no idea."

@jusigris@ndrew_lawrence Children are not worth anything to the economy yet so they should not be handed anything for free. Only when they start mowing my lawn for $8 will I then maybe considering throwing in a free PBJ sandwich for them /s
@WHITEMAN_YOLO@ryancohen Yeah... The "businessman" who has had numerous failed businesses and bankruptcies has the know-how or care to draft sensible policies that will help save struggling businesses. But hey he dabbled with NFTs before so maybe he can talk Ryan into bringing back the NFT marketplace.
@bostonvikinguc@heyitspixel69@ryancohen There is no MOASS. this whole concept is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how shorting stocks work and wildly twisted over the years with "intelligent" misinformation
@gavinmayreal 1) have more of their stores start selling retro games and consoles. They have higher profit margins than new games and consoles.
2) produce more GameStop branded-merch so it never runs out of stock and have it available online at all times
3) more Gamestop-exclusive editions
@damnyeah@Malone_Wealth Only if they can figure out a way to PROPERLY use that money to increase GameStop's revenue streams. Otherwise if they use it to dabble in NFTs and crypto wallets, that money will evaporate faster than their customer base.
@acrasiavfx@OrdinaryGamers Still feel like 7th Gen was the best. So many classic, innovative, and epic games came out for that console era that took PC years to even properly emulate.
@OrdinaryGamers I don't really see a problem with privacy if you're just using Windows to play games (unless you chat with other players). Other activities such as emailing, social media, banking, etc. can all easily be done on even the most basic Linux distros.
