I may be the only person who liked _North_. Though I only watched it once, it’s very hard to track down. ---

TMZ is the only outlet that has definitely said it’s Reiner and his wife. ABC was the first to say it was knife wounds, although they didn’t identify the victims by name. I expect NBC, CBS and CNN will catch up shortly. ---

I don’t think it was as bad as Ebert and others made it out to be, but Rob Reiner’s standards of the time, how disappointing. I was the right age for it, but I really enjoyed the Sure Thing back then. Probably hasn’t age well, no idea. ---

This one hits me hard. _The Princess Bride_ is one of my favorite movies. I have a copy of Cary Elwes’ book about it. Another celebrity in recent days killed by his son. Jubilant Sykes last week. ---
