    Geez… I swear to god if my obituary opens with Wife’s Name’s husband, I’d be pretty bummed.

    Suicide, also. Dang.

      Why? I’m my wife’s husband as much as I am anything else, and plenty of people refer to folks as “John’s friend” or “Erin’s husband” to identify them in context.

      Also, would you have known who this was if they didn’t? Some would for sure, but a lot of people who care about his films still might not have put the pieces together without Aubrey Plaza’s name in there, so I don’t see the issue.

        I don’t disagree with it being there but it wouldn’t feel great to be the leading description. “Director, filmmaker, and husband of” would emphasize his accomplishments.

        Meow that I think about it, Idk why we’re debating a TMZ headline. Sorry and good day.

          Fair enough, but that’s such a minor difference that I can’t imagine caring about it if I, personally, were the subject. I am definitely not calling any/everyone who feels differently ego-centric, but ego is the only reason I specifically could imagine being offended by that. Not looking to start a debate over TMZ at all haha, was just wondering if there were particular issues folks had with it that I wasn’t thinking of.
