Damn! How sad. I liked almost every movie he's done. Just tragic news and I'm shocked to be honest.

He made some very, very cool movies.
I can't live the buttoned-down life like you. I want it all. The dizzying highs, the terrifying lows, the creamy middles. Sure, I may offend some of the blue bloods with my cocky stride and musky odors. Oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called "city fathers," who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards and talk about what's to be done with this Homer Simpson?

Just heard this morning. Very sad, he made some good movies and was born a stones throw from me.

Was one of my favourites. Always brought a lot of energy to the films he directed.

Damn...very sad and tragic. A great talent wasted in suicide of all things? Why? Does anyone know details of what was potentially wrong?

True Romance was one of my favorites. And I know it didn't do good, but I really loved 'Domino'.

Top Gun 2?
Yeah, Rick's right. Probably too early to joke.
He did leave a letter I heard, but it probably won't be released for a little bit, if ever. It's up to the Scott family.

Tony was a great guy. I am in complete shock right now.
'Artist' is not a term you should use to refer to yourself. Let others, and your work, do it for you.

According to a source, Tony had inoperable brain cancer. That's a damn shame, but it was a death sentence either way...

Very sad to see someone so talented end their life like this. True Romance, Crimson Tide, Last Boy Scout & Man on Fire are all films that I re-watch regularly.

True Romance is most likely my favorite film of all time and a true classic.

Even though I'm not a huge fan of Tony's films (I find his direction to be over zealous, obnoxious, and distracting), it's a damn shame for him to go like this. A tragic day in the movie world for sure.

Just read that too. Almost can't blame him in that case. RIP Tony, loved most of his stuff...

Can't believe we've had no news of this in NZ, yet. Curse this country for being so obsessed with rugby.

Found a great little podcast where host Jeff Goldsmith interviews writer-director Quentin Tarantino and writer-director Richard Kelly about their experiences of writing and working with director Tony Scott.
Check it out here. Down in the hole / Jesus tries to crack a smile / Beneath another shovel load

Awesome, Sniper. Thanks.
I'm always on the lookout for great podcasts to listen to while I'm out running (maybe there's a thread for podcasts links? Can't see one).
Anyhoo, the BAFTA website has a huge archive with podcasts loaded with interviews with the heavyweights of the screenwriting world. If anyone doesn't already know about it:
