Apparently Scott had inoperable brain cancer.

 

Yeah. The rotten part is that he had two sons (twins, 12 years old).

 

True Romance- outstanding, probably top 5, but definitely top 10 for me if I had to come up with a list. The Walken/Hopper scene is among my favorites in a movie. Every time I hear the name Floyd- which as a Sox fan is often- I think of Brad Pitt smoked out of his mind talking to James Gandolfini.

 

If I were him, I'd be pissed off that all of the obits mention Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop II before True Romance. I'd see what I could do about coming back and haunting whoever was responsible for writing it like that. And their family too.

 

Oh,

They really do come in threes. Just today: Tony Scott; Phyllis Diller; Todd Akin's Senate chances.

 

Michael Jackson, Ed McMahon, and Farrah Fawcett all died within a couple days of each other in June 2009, but then as a special one-time TV offer, Billy Mays threw in the 4th one for free.
