syd syside Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 "Despite box office success, Tony Scott received little critical acclaim." They literally just said this a second ago on the news. And Fox News headline for this... " "Tony Scott had several blockbuster hits, but never matched brother Ridley Scott's critical success" News Media is a bunch of sociopaths. ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J3FF3R00 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: True Romance also has an excellent title sequence. The Hunger My favorite opening credit sequence of all time... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZiPhX-SZ88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 If he really had terminal, inoperable brain cancer, as it sounds he did, then it was a pretty bold and uncompromising way to go out. Not sure how I'd feel with a terminal diagnosis that would affect my mind, but I'd like to think I might have the guts to do the same. Probably would prefer opiates tho.

mcbpete 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...

awepittance Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 had no idea this was Ridley Scott's brother, i thin it's pretty clear TOny had a more consistently good filmmaker ethos bone in his body. Ridley's track record is seriously pretty fucked, after he stopped doing amazing set design (bladerunner, alien) he just start making shit films constantly while his bro Tony was pumping out halfway decent and sometimes really good ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baph Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I never loved any of Tony's movies (but I remember liking the Hunger and True Romance, should re-watch those), but he seemed like a pretty good and honest guy, and he seemed to have a lot of fun with his movies.

You can't be serious, Robbie. lol... His movies were shit. They were blockbuster, grin on your face shit, but shit nonetheless. Did he make even one truly GOOD, let alone great, movie?

Guest Mirezzi Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Oh fine, let's all get nostalgic for Top Gun and The Last Boy Scout. Hmm, I did quite like Crimson Tide. So sure, he made a few good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caretstik Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 My favorite opening credit sequence of all time... Noone will ever be able to take away its brilliance from him, a fitting tribute to Tony Scott. And I forgot about The Last Boy Scout, ace film.
