I don’t know what caused him to do this. Neither do you. But whatever it was, it was sorrowful - whether mental or physical illness he was obviously in pain. To disparage a man on the day of his death just strikes me as wrong. Is there really no compassion nowadays?

Man on Fire was a perfect film, one of my all time favorites.One of my faves too. I was unaware Tony Scott directed. Great shots of the Mexican slums. Chris Walken and Denzel Washington about the only black actor I like
Rest in peace Tony!

We will find out but>>>
Just bring a decent ladder and you are over that 10ft fence in no time. I would scale it with a rope too so I could get down the other side without breaking a leg. A concrete block (maybe 2) tied to the other end of the rope

A man who has directed action films knows enough to quickly get over that 10 ft fence to where he can jump. He planned this out same as a director plans out a movie. Accounts say there was no hesitation, he moved quickly

Earlier, Scott tried to jump off of a pier but was unsuccessful.
That’s what the updated account says, but I can’t figure out what that means. A pier?
To: Nitehawk0325
Perhaps he was a closet conservative and couldn’t take the pressure anymore, the guilt, the hiding from his hollywierd friends.

Thats what the updated account says, but I cant figure out what that means.In Hollywood jargon, it means he could not get his desired outcome in one take. Few Hollywod directors have gotten their desired outcome in one take other than One Take Woody Van Dyke.

Denzel Washington about the only black actor I likeSeriously?
You don't like James Earl Jones? Samuel L. Jackson? Ving Rhames? Wesley Snipes? Laurence Fishburne? Michael Clarke Duncan? Morgan Freeman? Just for starters... Those are some excellent actors right there.

James Earl Jones? Samuel L. Jackson? Ving Rhames? Wesley Snipes? Laurence Fishburne? Michael Clarke Duncan? Morgan Freeman?They may be good and popular actors but I just don't like their on-screen style with Morgan Freeman being the most detestable. I will not see a movie with this overbearing buffoon.
- James Earl Jones? can't stand watching this phony
- Samuel L. Jackson? good on occasion
- Wesley Snipes? I like him especially in "Passenger in seat 57"
- Laurence Fishburne? one fugly dude I hope he gets sucked into the "Event Horizon"
