“Falling Down” remains an extremely topical film, and an excellent reminder that the white male sense of loss and grievance had been around and exploited since the time of Reagan.

Robert Northern’s in this! Until today, I didn’t even know this footage existed.

Yeah, that movie isn’t about white male grievance, it is white male grievance. Besides, it’s more a celebration of the end of white male grievance, at least for the ensuing 40 years.

True. He thoroughly cracked me up in Dick Van Dyke reruns.
Bon voyage, Mr. Reiner.

In his later years, Reiner was an elder statesman of comedy, revered and respected for his versatility as a performer and multi-hyphenate. He was also adept at social media. He maintained a lively presence on Twitter up until the last day of his life.
Heh: “To the last I tweet at thee!” indeed.

He looks great for 30. Hell I didn’t look that good at 30.

Maybe Rubble was neutered, I hear that can make a difference.
