Yeah could have raided a showing of The Dark Knight Rises and forced them out of the theater and into another to watch 'Deja Vu' all over again...

Think about the fact they'll have to remember this for the rest of their lives.


Even if he had inoperable brain cancer, couldn't he have tried to make an effort to live his last days with his wife and sons?
It depends honestly, it is hard to watch loved ones suffering and wasting away, the pain that people with cancer goes through is horrible

Definitely a sad thing when anything like this happens. I wasn't the hugest fan of him I guess but he directed some decent movies. RIP Mr. Scott.

Re: director Tony Scott dies in apparent suicide

So they're saying that Scott had inoperable brain cancer.


As the investigation continues into Sunday's apparent suicide of Top Gun director Tony Scott, an unnamed source has told ABC News that the British-born filmmaker, 68, had been diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. No further medical details were available.

Has anybody heard that Tony Scott died? They're saying it might be suicide.

Re: director Tony Scott dies in apparent suicide

We do not know what sort of symptoms he could have been experiencing; depression, mood swings, erratic behavior, and crippling headaches all couple have influenced his jump.

I heard it was brain cancer, guys. Inoperable, even.

I don't read threads before posting in them.

Re: director Tony Scott dies in apparent suicide

Even if you decide to end your life because of a terminal disease, this is a pretty shitty way to do it - traumatic for not only his family, but the rescue workers trying to find his body, and really anyone who's a passerby. I'd be angry that he slowed up traffic with his abandoned car, the bastard!

If you do have to kill yourself, why not take some combination of drugs at home or in a hotel room? Got to mess up other people's day too.

Re: director Tony Scott dies in apparent suicide

Just to make DeputyDave happy...is there anyway the brain cancer could have caused him to molest children?

No but it made him block traffic.

Re: director Tony Scott dies in apparent suicide

Looks like all the news stories are going to focus on the inoperable brain cancer and sweep all his child molestations under the rug. Typical.

You can get brain cancer from molesting children?

This article is a good read. Sheds a little more light on the suicide.

After some of the posts in this thread, I'm the asshole now?

You would be surprised how often it happens.
