and this is awful
fuck
This is news I did not expect to hear today. I feel awful for his family, especially Ridley.
Steam
Domino, Top Gun, and Man on Fire top the list as ones I've watched on DVD several times. True Romance is pretty baller as well. I pretty much like all Tony Scott movies.
Days of Thunder and Enemy of the State have been good movies on tv to watch as well.

*is banned*
they were not high art, but damn if they weren't entertaining
this is such a bummer
no, actually
men aged 40 to 80 are the highest risk demographic for suicide
one is too many
but this year there have been way more than too many
will sit and watch them anytime they come on TV
RIP
(i didn't know he directed Domino, i enjoyed that too)
this is really unfortunate!!
This sucks
True Romance is one of my favorites, and Man on Fire is one of the most visually interesting films I've ever seen
I also looked forward to his crazy-ass remake of The Warriors that never happened
I did like True Romance as well

But The Last Boy Scout is straight up better than Die Hard 2.
but Unstoppable was pretty damn good
meaning I will happily watch it whenever it is on and enjoy it but not really remember much about it
and true romance was excellent
dang
Need to rewatch The Hunger and True Romance in his honor.
So many fun films, such a peculiar way to go out.
that's a pretty big age range there
I loved most of his movies I remember being maybe 14-15 going to see Crimson tide with a bunch of friends from school and them getting in trouble because we went to see that instead of the movie we told our parents.
If you're comparing that to 18-25 year olds it wouldn't be surprising

I thought about it awhile ago that if I was in that age range and had to depend on something unusual to keep me going like medication or a walker than I'd probably be suicidal.
Don't know what Scott's issue was though. He chose a hell of a way to go out for someone of his status.
What the fuck.
Probably didn't want to burden anyone he knew with the finding of his body.
Augh.
in memoriam
Wonder if all the hot volleyball scenes are just completely exaggerated by the public
not at all
