Director Tony Scott Calls it a Wrap
 

His movies were okay. My favorite being "True Romance".

Guess the devil came to collect the debt.

yea, read about this earlier, crazy shit, true romance is a fucking classic

I watched that for the first time last month. It was decent. No fear and loathing or heat but decent.

Maybe he got some bad medical news. 68 after all...I liked The Hunger with Bowie as well. Not bad. Ridley gets it right though...

Could have... could have also just done it for the thrill and thought it was a lot deeper than it was in reality. Could have been a lot of things... I find it quite odd they jump to "suicide" as a conclusion when there's a lot of crazy-ass thrill seekers out there that do base-jumping on an almost daily basis on things much more extreme than simply a bridge. Bridge is basically for base-jumping wannabe's...

Anyway... There's a million things you can do with a bridge besides suicide. Seems a little... premature of a conclusion.

There was a suicide letter in his car, so i read somewhere.

RIP


Guess he won't be directing Top Gun 2

Married with two sons - pretty shitty thing to do to them even if it was something like bad medical problem. He could have taken an overdose of pills or slit his wrists. Seems like an attention whore type of suicide. But he was a thrill seeker so maybe that's why he chose jumping off a bridge - what a way to go, hope he didn't have second thoughts on his way to his death.

Read the same, note in his car and note on his desk.

Pretty sad when people choose suicide.

Yeah... agreed... kind of an extreme way to go.

Ive actually had a near fistacuffs fight with a good friend over true romance. he says it in the top3 if not his favorite movie...

I told him its not shit. he said name a better movie and I said Crank. Now I think crank is a lame movie too, but I aid it to piss him off I guess but what I said I felt.

True Romance has One good scene in it and its not even with the stars. Walken is the only good part of that movie.


Resevoir Dogs. Highly overrated movie as well.

It's his life. Meaning, it's his choice on what he would like to do with it.

It has nothing to do with his kids, auntie, granny, or anyone else's selfish interests.

:2 cents:

Same here.

While he seemed to be in love with Denzel the past decade, he still made decent movies.

:Oh crap

you gotta be kidding me - when you have a family, suicide is a selfish act unless you are facing an imminent shitty death. i have friends whose parents have committed suicide, one walked into his house from high school to find his mom's brains splattered all over the living room, i also know parents who have had their teenage kid kill himself. It devastates those left behind for the rest of their lives.

So what did the suicide note say?

Love to know why this fucker, thought his life was so shite.

Death does that regardless. It's going to impact you. To think otherwise is fodder.

:2 cents:

if I were to choose suicide, I'd simply write a note, lay on my bed, and take a HARDCORE overdose of Heroin...

Go to sleep in the nicest, happiest way possible, and not cause anyone any extra work, other than removing my body from my house in the same way they would have anyway, had I died naturally in my sleep...

Why use a bridge? Why use manpower? Why use rescue services? Why upset witnesses? NO NEED - THATS JUST SELFISH... :2 cents:

i'll agree that both those movies are a bit over rated. Generally it was the comic book crowd that went ape shit for these movies, and it was definitely marketed towards them. But they were pretty well done given the scale budgets they were given, and both of them were a lot of fun to watch.

They are both far better than crank though, that was a bag of shit ;)

So he made a film in which the goivt were portrayed as the baddies, and now a mere 14 (There are 14 generations between 3 Hebrew patriarchs, leading to the birth of Christ. 14 X 3 = 42, which is how many Hebrew characters (letters) are used to spell the unpronounceable name of God. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_th..._the_number_14 ) years later we have his 'suicide', with '2' 'suicide' 'notes'. We need johnnyclips and ninavain to take a far closer look at this methinks.

sad news...

At least 8 of those movies would make it into my top 100 movies if I had to pick. He made some great movies recently, Unstoppable was excellent. Anything with Denzel Washington is good tho.

RIP, he did something to remember with some of his movies.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

What are you? 12?

Should be a reason. RIP Tony.

Sad way to go,RIP Tony

No.

However, I am someone who knows a lot more about death, various kinds of death, and it's impact on your life and family from life experience, then you do. That I can assure you toots.

Carry on.

:2 cents:

I doubt it. Your post makes you look the opposite.

Opinions are like assholes.

:2 cents:

This is a true testimony that money does not buy happiness.

True Romance is a pretty damn good movie. A Tarantino screenplay, if I remember correctly. The film will forever be famous for the scene between Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken.

A lot of crappy movies on that list.
