I saw Rob Reiner -- 7 points

I was at the Dodgers - Cubs game on Memorial Day and passed acclaimed director Rob Reiner (and daughter, I guess) in the arcade behind the stands.

I can think of 2 reasons he will probably get a high rating:
1. Marty
2. DiBergi

But let's go through the motions...

First, he was at a baseball game and, more importantly, I saw him as I left the game, which was after the game ended. In other words, he stayed until the end, even though his team (I assume the Dodgers) was losing. Very un-L.A. +1 point.

Two words, that I'm sure Mr. Reiner's been running from most of his life: Meat Head. +1 for being on one of the all-time greatest TV shows. -1 for his acting ability.

While we're talking great sit-coms, +1 point for being Carl Reiner's kid, which means his life was the basis for another of the all-time greatest TV shows, The Dick Van Dyke Show.

But it's all about the movies he's directed. And he has definitely directed good ones. In fact, three of the best movies ever made: This is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, and When Harry Met Sally. +2 points for each. (He also directed The Sure Thing, Stand By Me, A Few Good Men, and The American President, but I can't give him points for every single movie, can I?)

Of course, we can't forgive him for also directing: North, The Story of Us, and Alex & Emma. -1 for each of those.

Special demerit: -2 points for directing Misery, because most of the world thinks that's a great movie and I didn't like it at all, which makes me feel stupid.

-2 Star Wars Factor, I'm afraid.

Final score: 7 points!
