Director Tony Scott comitts suicide.

That sucks. Not sure which dfwm we're on these days - the one where we ridicule people who commit suicide and call them a pos, or the one where we ridicule the people calling them a pos and state that we have no idea what they were going through and how hard things were. Oh well.

It's the one where we call people a piece of shit for killing themselves. "Going through things" does not absolve you from your actions.

It takes a special piece of shit to jump off a bridge with twins and a wife at home. Just ridiculous selfishness.

Apperently being a father and husband lost it's luster as well.

And an accomplished director/millionaire.

Current wife confiscated his balls, his Ferrari, and made him drive a Prius. Suicide may look good at this point.

Jk. Sounds like there is way more to this story.

i think viagara, a cute little redhead, and a classic ferrari with the top down would have fixed his depression.
How in the fuck do you want to kill yourself when you are stupid rich, make great movies, and live in Beverly Hills?

I mean, you made it. You did it. You won the game. Enjoy banging the princess!

Sorry, the princess is another castle!

I knew this was coming, and I suspected Roliath was the courier. What do I get?

The movie they were working on together "Killing Lincoln" seemed like a pretty cool movie.

not as cool as Lincoln Vampire Hunter though - as I know every one of your ass hats is going to post that.

I might go home and watch True Romance just because I didn't realize today was whiteboy day.

I don't know if his Prius was a daily driver, or if the author thinks that a Prius is a sports car:

Scott was a thrill-seeker himself in his personal life, an avid rock climber who also liked driving fast cars and motorcycles. Still, filmmaking was his real thrill.

My reply was a joke because he was a pussy and took his own life

I know this may come as a shock to all of you, but material things don't mean happiness. Sometimes a wife and kids don't mean happiness. Money certainly doesn't mean happiness. And a successful career doesn't mean happiness either.

A close friend of mine, with an obscene net worth, and incredibly successful career committed suicide. He had everything anyone could have ever wanted, when it came to material possessions. Is suicide a selfish act? Sure. Does it hurt everyone around that cares about you? Absolutely. But don't act like you know what demons he was struggling with. Yes, everyone grieves in different ways, and one of those coping mechanisms is anger. But seeing as how none of you knew Tony Scott personally, that makes you classless and pathetic.

It doesn't make you pathetic for calling someone who killed themselves selfish - you just did it. And knowing someone could only obscure the truth of how selfish this decision is. I had a very good friend shoot himself, I spoke to him a few hours before beforehand trying to cheer him up. After seeing the pain and suffering such a selfish decision causes I have no sympathy for it. What I think is classless and pathetic is for other people to attempt to absolve the sole person responsible.

This makes me want to go home and watch Crimson Tide, Man on Fire, Spy Game, and Top Gun

I said the act was selfish. I made no derogatory comments about the person, unlike everyone in this thread short of Jody, Jason, Scott, and SS Junk. All of the comments below are classless. Most are pathetic, and ooze jealousy.

I can assure you that Tony Scott doesn't give two flying fucks what you think. And I can assure you, I don't either. I'm not absolving anyone of anything. You don't know the demons he had. You don't know what he was obviously battling with, every single day of his life. You have absolutely no right to sit there on your moral high horse, and judge. Yes, that is classless. And yes, that is pathetic. Let the man rest in peace for crying out loud. It's obvious peace is the one thing he didn't have. Instead, you want to call him a pussy and drag his name through the mud. THAT is what is pathetic. There are ways to convey your thoughts about the act without disrespecting the Man and his family. Yes, that is classless, and pathetic. You should be ashamed of yourself. You don't have the first clue about the man's life, who are you to judge?

lol fuck him. He had it so bad.

lmao, right?

Oh, that poor millionaire that can spend his days fucking hot women and driving ferraris. Must suck!

Here is a crazy idea.......BUY ANY OTHER FUCKING CAR ON THE FUCKING PLANET THAN A PRIUS!!!!!!!!!

No wonder why he did it, HE DROVE A FUCKING PRIUS!!!

What's pathetic is you claiming we're speaking from a moral high horse, while simultaneously you preach from the same standpoint. What makes you right? Because it makes you feel better? Get real, the man killed himself in the highest form of selfishness there is. That's the fact, and that's the only thing I'm focusing on. If you makes you feel better to defend the guy and judge others, go right ahead. I'm not on the warm and fuzzy train, I try to keep things cold logical.
