It seems to me that respectfulness is the attitude everyone needs to have when it comes to events of the last few days. Oddly, the other night we were watching (okay, re-watching) a Harry Potter film in which Voldemort had returned.
I can't help but feel that's the currently the case in our world. Maybe not precisely He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, but it sure feels as though Evil is afoot.
Yes, the not-very-presidential leader of the US offered a few words of sympathy over the shooting murders in Australia and Rhode Island, but when it came to any kind of respect for one of our greatest modern filmmakers, Rob Reiner, there were only insults. To my mind, unforgivable.
To refresh anyone who isn't sure of how important Rob Reiner's work was, I invite you to view the following overview of three of his most wonderful films.
A word he and his wife earned and deserve: Respect.
