Back in the summer of 1990, 18 years ago, I had nothing better to do, so I went to see Days of Thunder, a Don Simpson-Jerry Bruckheimer vanity production in service to the vanity of its producers, its director (Tony Scott) and its star, Tom Cruise. It was the reunion of Scott and Cruise with [...]

Tech conferences had pretty much killed my desire for these things but after such a great experience at SOBCon in Chicago I am ready to find more blogger meet-ups. Anyone know of any good ones in the UK? I see that Tony Scott is organizing a UK WordCamp [1], I am definitely up for that, if only as I would be guaranteed to meet Lorelle again ;) Right now the organizers of the WordCamp...

...always have, always will. I saw the Tarantino-scripted, Tony-Scott-directed True Romance twice in theatres, but was one of the few to do so, as the movie made a paltry $11.5 million during its initial release. But it became a cult success on video, especially once Pulp Fiction made Tarantino a household name, and Maxim has gathered the cast and filmmakers for a 15th anniversary testimonial...

I was pretty excited to learn that James Gandolfini had been cast as the political heavy in Tony Scott's upcoming remake of the 1974 Taking of Pelham One, Two, Three. With John Travolta attached, along with Denzel Washington, this project is shaping up to be quite cool. And with just over a year until its [...]

I’ve heard from the most reliable of reliable sources that director Tony Scott is developing a feature narrative about Abu Ghraib. Google revealed nothing, but if anyone knows anything more, I’d sure like to hear about it. And it's safe to assume this is not Abu Ghraib under Saddam, but rather under a few out-of-control, poorly [...]

I know it's a television mini-series, well two episodes, but it looks pretty strong and I've already been featuring the...
