Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Well, that's a wrap on the stage production of "Miracle on 34th Street" which I was happy to be part of. I don't normally get so emotional after the wrap of a show, but boy was I feeling it tonight. I am going to miss this fantastic, and genuinely amazing people I have been working with.

Very good supporting actor. I agree, he always managed to have an intensity about him, and even when playing a baddie, I couldn't help but kinda like him. He was in a very short-lived crime tv show called "The Black Donnelly's" which he was so good in. RIP, Bad Guy from the Mask, Peter Greene!

Anyone who says “be normal” betrays that they have an implicit value system of who is considered normal and who is not, and when you have that, you will always value some people and traits over another. They will always replicate hierarchies of power in the long run.

Exactly. Newsom translated is “we need to treat a lot of you as abnormal and we need you to be a lot less judgmental about it.”

After a banner year of Warner Bros putting unique, filmmaker driven original movies into theaters and getting giant audience turn out for them, the corporation that now owns them would like you to know that actually you didn’t like this and that what you really wanted was to watch at home.
