Tony Scott Is Dead

I realize that it's the nature of our times and media that everyone has an opinion and a judgment without knowing hardly anything in the way of facts. A very small amount of people may know those facts, but I'm pretty sure that no one here knows if Mr. Scott discussed his plans with his family. If the family ever deems it appropriate to discuss this, I will weigh what they have to say, but until then, I don't care to read negative judgments. However, I do believe that it's a fair topic of discussion, especially considering it was done in public, but sometimes people just don't want to hear every flippin' opinion every flippin' person has, even if it's from us MoFos. Shut up, mark!

I'm still here aren't I? I saw how wrong it is. How much I had to live for. How it would affect my family and friends. That takes courage. Killing yourself doesn't. And this is more tailored to your beliefs. But being a Christian I could never go through with it. I think Mickey Rourke said the same thing about how being a Catholic made him not commit suicide too.

I once heard somewhere that a lot of senior citizens, especially men, commit suicide because they can't stand the thought of experiencing their bodies suffer through illnesses and such. I don't have the source, but I know I heard that somewhere.

Life can be really freakin' dark, dude.

Hop off the soap box

and Shut the F*ck up already.

signed,

everyone.

No matter the exact circumstances, whether he had just received a death sentence or if he talked it over with his wife or whatever the case may be, I don't understand people whose first impulse when they hear a story like this is to angrily shame and tut-tut the guy. Why not express a little human decency for someone who, by any account, wasn't an evil man. He's dead and it's sad

I mean who wants to painfully whither away and spend their last moments with their loved ones as a shell of their self? My uncle was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in his late 40s and there was essentially no chance he'd survive, but he went through with chemo and all that anyway because he had to keep up a brave face and say he was gonna try and fight it for his preteen daughters. It really sucks, yeah

Now that was uncalled for.

This.

Flim may have been suicidal since age 10 or whatever, but he/she is an obnoxious self-righteous attention grabber here who really needs to butt out and STFU with the sniping and judging.

Get off your stupid soapbox and let people express their sadness and condolences in peace. This isn't about YOU, flim.

No this is about someone who took his own life leaving his family and friends behind. Sorry if I am not so understanding. What soap box? I am just making an observation. Sorry if it offends anyone. But get over it. This is a public forum.

We know your opinion. It's been noted. You just keep repeating it. Shut up.

Neg rep me all you want dead. I don't care. I am allowed to voice my opinion. Even if it upsets someone. Plenty of others do it here. He was a COWARD. How do you like that?

Pathetic.

Enough with the trolling, ok?

I think with all these comments, we miss what we should keep in mind first. HE DID AMAZING MOVIES during his life. But that's my own humble opinion.

Whatever neg rep king. I am done with this topic.

Only 2 neg reps? Thought I'd get at least 3. It's a ridiculous way to go and it doesn't matter if I don't have all the facts. He jumped off a bridge! Fact. Maybe his family knew about this. If so, that makes it even more ridiculous.

Anyway. Rest in peace, I guess.

derp

u negged me.

ironing.

Just looking through all his flicks. He sure did a whole lot of flicks that I've enjoyed for years.

Yeah, if his family knew he was gonna commit suicide by jumping off a bridge, I find that ridiculous, too. Just because it's a bridge of all things....

But Mark F did tell me earlier that the bridge he jumped off of was the bridge that The Monkees jump off of to kill themselves in their movie, Head. Frankly, if I was going to commit suicide and I could do it by jumping off that bridge, I might choose that method, too. I love the song that plays during that scene where The Monkees jump off that bridge:



I could just imagine jumping off that bridge and beautifully falling slowly to my death all Monkees style.

But, of course, it wouldn't really be that way, probably. It'd be quick and very painful ~ it's supposed to be extremely painful once you hit the water and I think the impact might actually kill you immediately.

Was Tony Scott a Monkees fan? Now that I think of it, it's kinda interesting 'cause Davy Jones died this year, the first Monkee to die.

Hundreds of people commit suicide by jumping off of bridges every year. It's a cliche

Powdered Water, how would you kill yourself? I gave you neg rep for the first part of your post, by the way
