Man On Fire is one of my favourite movies ever.

Hollywood Reporter - Tony Scott Spent Final Days Working With Tom Cruise

I would have really loved to see a Top Gun sequel. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

 

[strafer]

So he did not have brain cancer.

 

[subversus]

we don't know for sure

 

[strafer]

But we do

We're not sure who ABC News's source was, but TMZ is now reporting that Tony Scott did NOT have brain cancer or any other severe medical issues that would have caused him to take his own life.

RIP

Just saw the news RIP

Maybe "terminal brain cancer" was a metaphor for crippling clinical depression.

 

[isamu]

I can't believe this has happened. One of my favorite directors. RIP TONY

Wonder if anyone will actually buy the video being shopped around of his death.

Real-talk:

Can somebody please explain to me why rich & famous people commit suicides? They do not face any of the problems poor people struggle with daily like paying the rent, buying food or new clothes?, gas prices soaring up etc. Is it because they are constantly addicted to cocaine or other drugs?

I mean if I were rich as fuck I'd probably be ballin' and posting twitpics of my wealth not killing myself... alas I'm not so I really do not understand them.

And this is just a general question: not connected with Scott's death.

"Um...hi...is this the suicide hotline?"
"Yes it is, are you having suicidal thoughts?"
"I just don't know if I can go on any more...life seems so empty and pointless. I lost my job, my girlfriend left, and I fear I may be mentally ill."
"Sir, just hold on, don't do anything rash, we have some money on the way."
"Oh my, thank you so much. You've saved my life."

I was watching Days of Thunder before I heard the news. RIP Tony.

Depends on the subject matter. Celebrities and Hollywood is TMZ's specialty.

Talented filmmaker and I'll miss his films. On another note, this has been an awful year for Tom Cruise.

Great discussion. Loved QT's talk about how he called Scott after Grindhouse bombed.

Great discussion. Loved QT's talk about how he called Scott after Grindhouse bombed.

It is great..I'm about half way through.
QT is great when he isn't doing his fast talking "okay, okay, okay" shtick.

 

[isamu]

Thanks for the heads up on that podcast. Will listen

Anyway, no results yet from the toxicology report?

 

[leadbelly]

Off a bridge? That seems a pretty dramatic way to end your life.

 

[sweetvar26]

Sorry for reviving an old thread but I just got this news. I didn't even know that he died. I spent couple of days in flight around when he died, probably why I missed it.

I love his movies, so many to quote.

Ridley was probably devastated when he got the news. Have they found out why he committed a suicide?

I still can't believe this

 

[isamu]

Have they found out why he committed a suicide?

I am curious about this as well. Haven't heard anything pertaining to a possible motive.

On a side note, I *JUST* finished watching Enemy of the State. Great film.
