Rubin Farr Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 what a shame, some great movies from this man like The Hunger among his lesser known works. http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/20/showbiz/obit-tony-scott/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Whaaat? I mean everyone likes a good Tony Scott joke, but that's no reason to end it all! Interesting comment on the news page, not sure if it's true: Early reports indicate that Tony had inoperable brain cancer. Truly sad my regards to his family. rip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCJ Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I'm shocked. I've been watching some of interviews talking about his creative process on YouTube. There's a full feature length making of Top Gun on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackdust Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Such a shame, something tragic must have been going on with his personal life to just jump off a bridge Rip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoodie Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 i've always wondered how many people who have committed suicide by jumping off something have regretted their choice as they're falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 RIP to the man responsible for one of the fucking coolest movie intros of all time: Ridiculous but oddly fitting top youtube comment: RIP Tony Scott. Even though this might sound cheesy, but I'm gonna picture you in heaven flying a F-14. Hope you'll find peace and happiness buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chim Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 i've always wondered how many people who have committed suicide by jumping off something have regretted their choice as they're falling. Very likely most of them, just like they've regretted everything else in their life. The bridge documentary has a dude who survived his jump and said he did regret it when falling. Maybe the universe made him survive because of that or maybe it happens to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubin Farr Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 True Romance also has an excellent title sequence. The do you eat pussy scene is classic Tarantino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember somewhere in The Bridge the jump survivors all said they changed their minds on their way down. I bet that's partly why they survived. The ones who don't, whether or not the impact itself kills them, are mentally ready to accept death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syd syside Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Apparently he had brain cancer that was terminal, so that explains why. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/top-gun-director-tony-scott-inoprable-brain-cancer/story?id=17039434#.UDJg0URcRt2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Guess he was really inspired by the start of Prometheus... Does this mean Ridley is dead too? I always thought they were the same dude, just Ridley Scott was the nom de plume for his art-house persona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretstik Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 some great movies from this man like The Hunger Very much agreed, his best film IMO and one of my favourite horrors. He did other good work too though, Man On Fire was superb, and who doesn't love True Romance? Never been a fan as such, but this is very sad news. R.I.P.
