Whatever.

You guys just like to “hate” everyone who disagrees with you. You cannot even walk by a dead man without pissing on them. You don’t have to praise him...but you just cannot miss the opportunity.

What a sad, lonely way to look at the world.

Yes.

I notice Reiner’s stuff was mostly crappy failures except for the DVK Show and his movies with Steve Martin.

Case in point, Lottsa Luck with Dom Deluise.

Just horrible. I hadn’t known it was Reiner’s show until he died and I was reading his credits.

Reiner was one of the great comedians of the 20th Century. He went back to Your Show of Shows, hosted by Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca, which launched a bunch of comedy careers. He worked with Mel Brooks there and they came up with their 2000 year old man act that they performed for many years. Reiner was the straight man, but he was really good at serving up jokes for Mel.

In the pilot for what would become DVD, Reiner played the comedy writer main character. He had the good sense and humility to rework the concept bringing in Dick Van Dyke as the main character.

And you came here with the intention of writing that?

Just to let everyone know that you cannot respect the dead.

Cool.

And who sez he hasn’t already cast his vote?


You’re right!

He’s probably mailed it in over 20 times, already.

“I remember him mostly for the comedic masterpiece “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid.” Dang that was funny.”

Which was Steve Martin.

Reiner’s own stuff was never that good after the Dick van Dyke show.

And list his death as COVID-19.
That what his Meathead will say.

That’s a shame.

I wish I hadn’t just learned that.

I knew about Meathead (how could you not) but was under the impression that Carl was at least apolitical. Boy, was I wrong.

I did for sure. Not only do I not respect dead enemies, I glory in their death and wish it upon all those who are enemies of my country, my people, and me.

May they all drop dead and burn in hellfire forever.

It’s a shame he didn’t make a trip to the drugstore 73 years ago.
