B52STRATO 215 Posted August 20, 2012 It's always the best who go first... a master disappears today. The Scott brothers are and will still remain my favorite directors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 451 Posted August 20, 2012 It's been over 30 years since their brother died, and now Ridley has lost another in a totally avoidable scenario. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Jug 99 Posted August 23, 2012 Evidently he had just received a medical report about a possible brain tumor. I understand the need to go his own way. RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 451 Posted August 24, 2012 One of his best IMO. IIRC, it was the first of many, MANY films he made with Denzel Washington. Also, I will say this: Compared to his brother Ridley, I like MORE of Tony's films (I've watched and enjoyed most of them) than I do Ridley's (who has films like White Squall and that Columbus one I just couldn't even make myself watch). Now when Ridley is good he blows Tony anyway, but Tony was far more consistent. Say Tony's films were almost always at least a "B" while Ridley would vaccilate from "A"s to "D"s. Pick a film from them at random and I was more likely to enjoy Tony's than Ridley's, even though some of Ridley's best I have on DVD and the only Tony one I have is Top Gun. Actually, I keep meaning to get Crimson Tide on Bluray, it was a great one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
