Ivan Reitman, a storied producer and director behind some of Hollywood's biggest comedies, has died,

Kendrick and was co-written and directed by his son Jason Reitman...

Ouch. I really enjoyed the products of his work. He was still the guy in the Animal House pic to me.
@Region Philbis,
It's always a sad affair when we lose such talented people. RIP
For a silly screwball comedy movie, Animal House was such a hit for me. The whole movie was a snort for me but amongst the top laughs, the scene with Belushi’s character smashed the guitar of the folksinger while sitting on the stairs with all the coed girls swooned was the best!
