What is it with these nutters advertising a nudist site and using some ones suicide report to advertise the fact they want to sell their ar*e on a secluded beach some where. Its about the sickest thing i have seen for weeks.MSN should be monitoring this site more to deter these sick ba**ards.

Can whoever keeps spamming this comments section about "age-gap dating" please show some respect for the deceased and p**s the hell off! NO-ONE CARES! We're here to show our respect and condolences to the family of Tony Scott.
I didn't actually know of Tony Scoot but I LOVED the movie top gun and I came across this article. It's so sad when anyone reaches that desperate point in their lives where they feel the only option is to end it.
You made an awesome film Tony and by the sound of it many other amazing films too. R.I.P!

Well said Preston John. I have reported blatant sick advertising and disgusting contributions until I am weary. MSN need to moderate their site properly or risk being closed down in the name of decency ...
R.I.P. Tony Scott, such a talented man. My condolences to his family and friends.

Tragic loss to the world of film. Tony had that rare quality of creating intelligent action films that stay with the viewer long after the credits have rolled. True Romance is a prime example. The way he brought Tarantino's script to celluloid and played so many great character actors off against each remains a joy to watch. Crimson Tide was also a real standout, pitting Gene Hackman and Denzil Washington against each other in that claustrophibic atmosphere and creating a tension fueled tour de force. It is sad whenever anybody takes their own life and it is particularly tragic when suicide seems the only way out. Tony was a genius and I will miss his movies, but his legacy will live forever.

Thanks for some truly great films! RIP!

Don't usually use these tweets but hearing of the recent tragedy I could not pass by without leaving my condolences.. I remember Black Hawk Down and how that made a bench mark for visceral cinema making. Sympathies go out to the family.

Rush trailerVideo by:Description: Two-time Academy Award® winner Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind, Frost/Nixon), teams once again with fellow two-time Academy Award® nominee, writer Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, The Queen), on Rush, a spectacular big-screen re-creation of the merciless 1970s rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. In UK cinemas on Sept 13th. The epic action-drama stars Chris Hemsworth (The Avengers) as the charismatic Englishman James Hunt and Daniel Brühl (Inglourious Basterds) as the disciplined Austrian perfectionist Niki Lauda, whose clashes on the Grand Prix racetrack epitomized the contrast between these two extraordinary characters, a distinction reflected in their private lives. Set against the sexy and glamorous golden age of Formula 1 racing, Rush portrays the exhilarating true story of two of the greatest rivals the world has ever witnessed—handsome English playboy Hunt and his methodical, brilliant opponent, Lauda. Taking us into their personal lives on and off the track, Rush follows the two drivers as they push themselves to the breaking point of physical and psychological endurance, where there is no shortcut to victory and no margin for error. If you make one mistake, you die.Rating: 4Views: 182886
