Director, actor and activist Rob Reiner and his producer wife, Michele, died last night in an apparent homicide, and their son, Nick, has been arrested in connection with their deaths. Here's a @Flipboard Storyboard celebrating their life and work. "Reiner loved to work with great writers," writes Alan Sepinwall. "He had an eye for identifying future stars (all four 'Stand By Me' kids went onto successful careers, though some were derailed by personal struggles and tragedy). And he and his gifted collaborators had a knack for executing each genre at such a high level that you couldn't blame anyone who would look at them and say, 'Yeah, I can't top that. Maybe I should try something else?'"

Rob Reiner, who died yesterday, had one of the greatest runs in cinema history, directing seven beloved movies across multiple genres in an extraordinary eight-year period. Empire breaks them down. Which is your favorite? Tell us in the comments what you loved about Reiner and his work.

"The Princess Bride" won our poll on favorite Rob Reiner movies, but we agree with most of the comments, who said it was almost impossible to choose. Better poll questions? The one you watched most recently, the one you plan to watch next, or the one you quote/reference most frequently. How we enjoyed the outpouring of love for Reiner: His talent, and his integrity.
Here are a couple of pieces we read and enjoyed over the past few days. 1.) @AssociatedPress's tribute to Michele Singer Reiner, the photographer and producer
2.) Wil Wheaton's gorgeous tribute to Rob, who directed him in "Stand By Me."
"When I was turning 13, and realizing that my own father didn’t care about me, that my mother didn’t see me as a son, but as a thing she could put to work, Rob Reiner made me feel loved, valued, seen, and respected," Wheaton writes. "Rob was a good person who put great art into the world, who made a positive difference in more lives than any of us can imagine. The world is a better place thanks to his activism and the way he chose to use all of his privilege and influence."
Rest in peace, Rob and Michele.

Back from the framers. A rare, original cinema window card from Hollywood's #GoldenAge, for the 1930 film Shadow of the Law.
Yet another unexpected/bonkers vintage movie find in a Swiss charity shop. Previously, I also found 3 half-sheet posters from the 1940s/50s.

Hollywood’s got it all wrong when it comes to remakes. The problem is they keep redoing the classics. Big mistake. They ought to go after the bad ones and make them better. Good remakes of bad movies are “Hollywood’s greatest fount of untapped potential this side of video game adaptations and seeing what might happen if you gave Ridley Scott a kilo of cocaine,” film critic David Ehrlich writes.
