RIP Tony Scott (the director)

excellent post, especially the last sentence

The Pelham 1-2-3 remake was a good Netflix stream. Clearly Scott put a lot of work into thinking through a plausible 21st-century subway hostage situation, and Denzel is interestingly frumpy.

Hmmm:

Initial coroner's report sheds no light:

The L.A. County coroner's report said Scott appeared to have had no major health problems, and coroner's officials said interviews with family members and friends did not reveal a possible motive.

The coroner's office determined that the 68-year-old died of multiple blunt-force injuries after leaping from the Vincent Thomas Bridge on Aug. 19. The director had therapeutic levels of the sleep aid Lunestra and the anti-depressant Mirtazipine, also known as Remeron, in his system, toxicology tests showed.

Chief coroner's investigator Craig Harvey said there was no indication of pre-existing conditions in Scott, based on both the autopsy and medical records.

"There was no evidence of neoplasia — cancer — identified," Harvey said.

After Scott's death, some media reports quoted an anonymous source suggesting that Scott had a brain tumor. His family vehemently denied those reports.

Several of Scott's associates told The Times that the director had mentioned back or hip problems in the months before his death, but many said they had no indication it was anything other than business as normal for the director-producer.

Revenge is some kind of masterpiece; unbelievably brutal and completely gorgeous. The fact that it never quite gets to where it’s meant to be going and seems to be pulling in 2 or 3 different directions, somehow makes me love it all the more. It was in Rolling Stone’s 10 Worst list of that year, which is reason enough to watch it at all speed.
