I heard about it on Fox and Friends this morning, where they said that he also directed Prometheus.

RIP

True Romance, The Last Boy Scoutt, The Hunger

[Tucah]

RIP, he made some awesome movies. Will be watching True Romance today.

[Joe Molotov]

Sources are saying that he had an inoperable brain tumor.

[Himu]

Fuck. I'd the same thing if I were him. RIP.

[chronovore]

Damn, that's rough.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Sucks but I can understand it.

Why not shoot yourself though, seems much nicer.

[Himu]

Jumping from a bridge has a lower survival rate.

plus, if you're totally at peace with yourself, you could close your eyes and pretend you're flying for the last few seconds of your life

that's not a bad way to go out

If the drop wasn't enough to kill you instantly, that would suck a lot.

[Eel O'Brian]

yeah, i guess there's really no optimal way to go, but i'd personally rather do something like that than be sitting in a chair somewhere with my ears ringing and half my face blown off because the bullet bounced

yeah I have always tough about it that way.

If I ever kill myself it will definitely be trowing myself from a tall structure or an overdose.

[naff]

Felt like such a badass when I was a kid watching last boyscout with my dad. Will watch that or true romance tonight in commemoration.

[Phoenix Dark]

I was super surprised somewhat recently when my parents said they really enjoyed True Romance. I thought they would hate it due to the violence/language and the Sicilian scene lol

rip

[CajoleJuice]

True Romance is awesome mostly due to Tarantino's script. And it has a terrible fucking score.

[Positive Touch]

that's why you gotta do it kurt cobain style

Just about everything he did up until Man on Fire is pretty good. Man on Fire is when he got the cinematographer with Parkinson's and the camera shook so much it gave Paul Greengrass a boner.

[Human Snorenado]

If I'm ever terminal, I'm gonna make sure I get the job done, and just go out into the desert with a bunch of explosives.  Maybe videotape it for Arvie.

Hm, I haven't seen it yet but everyone I talked to said it's amazing. I like the Bourne cam stuff so it probably wouldn't bother me

[Himu]

enemy of the state is fantastic

For me, there is only one way: PALMprint.

No, it's a great movie. Just tough to pay attention to what's going on with the camera jumping up and down.

Domino was worse and almost unwatchable.

Apparently he kept the camera still in Unstoppable, but I haven't seen it yet.

[CajoleJuice]

disagree strongly

[Human Snorenado]

I think the only movie I'd put above it is Inglorious Basterds, and that's only because Tarantino just out-Tarantinos himself so much that what I used to find annoying in his movies laps itself and becomes awesome in this instance.  If that makes any sense.

[CajoleJuice]

You're not the first.  Such is the way of the Tarantarded.

Like I said earlier, the music alone stops me from totally enjoying True Romance.

[Himu]

I can understand not liking Tarantino, but I have a raging hard on for his films. His films are understandably tedious by certain tastes, Death Proof being a great example. His films have a lot of dialogue almost in that Godard-esque way where they talk on and on and on for the sake of having dialogue. But I like Godard too so I guess I'm just a sucker for film making with long cuts and a lot of dialogue.

To be fair, Kill Bill 1 and 2 don't suffer from Tarantino-isms as much as his other films do.

There is only one sure, fast, and utterly painless way to commit suicide: Touch Bruce Willis again after he tells you not to

True Romance>Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, etc? lol gtfo. And I'm far from a QT dick rider

[Mandark]

I dunno.  I watch Pulp Fiction every ~5 years assuming that it's going to age really badly and be much worse than I remembered it, and it hasn't happened yet.  Though it is coming due soon...

[Diunx]

It's considerably better than Pulp Fiction, and I give it the edge over Reservoir Dogs as well.  The more freedom Tarantino is given, the worse the final product is.  He never should have made it to the level of director.  He's like Kevin Smith, minus the fact that Smith actually had a couple of meaningful things to say before he completely ate shit.

UGH.

[Timber]

Smith actually had a couple of meaningful things to say

About Ewoks, I'm sure.

[FatalT]

The exhaust pipe hose into a window sounds like an easy way out.

[TakingBackSunday]

True Romance is the best movie Tarantino's ever been involved in, and it's precisely because Tony Scott was there to nix Tarantino's usual stupidity.

you my nicca oscar, but this post gave me AIDS

Jackie Brown and Inglorious Basterds man

[chronovore]

The exhaust pipe hose into a window sounds like an easy way out.

It fails frequently, and can just lead to brain damage, leaving the person even more of a sad shit burden on those around them.

Welp. That's unfortunate. You can't kill yourself with a bullet to the face because it might ricochet and you can't kill yourself with exhaust fumes. Jumping off of a building is the best bet after all then. Nicely done Mr. Scott!

[Joe Molotov]

Well, now Tony Scott's family is saying that the reports he had cancer are untrue.
