Tony Scott commits suicide

Forums New posts
Yes Trained, although jumping from a bridge is way down my list on methods of suicide. No 1 has to be huge overdose cocktail -go out feeling good then falling asleep! No 2 would be bullet to the brain, ideally by and assassin you do not know. Jumping off bridges can also end up in things like quadriplegia and then you can't make another attempt yourself!

He did some good movies and I'm sure he earned a few bucks on the way - I really hope he lived it up his last few days, you know, gamble in vegas, get a lady for company, drive your favourite road with your favourite music etc. If you can afford to commit suicide in style then it seems such a shame not to!

These horrible diseases can get more horrible and intolerable for many people and I hope he was being properly pain-managed and stuff, there should not be any painful suffering with all the analgesia medicine can provide these days. A sad way to go, but as always we try to remember what was good about a life and I can imagine Tony Scott had plenty to be thankful for, and those around him.

RIP Tony Scott
 
Good director, who was able to tap into the zeitgeist and ride the waves of social conciousness in part due to his advertising background. liked the hunger the best, and ironicaly thanks to him delibe's lakme flower duet gets played in every air line, sanitary towel commercial around the world ad infinitum such was his power to create searing motifs. definitely gonna leave a hole in the industry.

I agee, it seems to me he would have the means to hole up somewhere and to try assisted suicide and damn the consequences, If it was a terminal case I don't think he would have any problems with his loved ones from trying to prevent him from doing so. the method he choose will probably have a worse emotional impact on his surviving family.
 
Well, it's hard to evaluate his motives and his condition based on a source that is said to be someone reportedly "close to the famed director." We don't know the real story, and maybe we won't until the autopsy results are released, or a statement is made by his family.
