Scott killed two disobediant extras on the Blade Runner set.*
* Not true.

Hehehe... I know. I'd know though.
Well, I've heard of people who know Jan DeBont (DOP on Black Rain (director of Speed and Twister)) - Dutch guy - that he though Scott was a complete *******. But then I think: they guy just knows things better than most DOP's... maybe that's a problem, but it also makes his film stand out.
Me? Great Ridley fan. If you can make movies like that, you're entitled to be an ******* (to some).

To some, yeah, but you'd still have to be called "douche" when being a douche by non-sycophants.
(Or "Shiiickophantsh" as Connery would say it.  )
It takes genius to be genius, but a genius douche is still half douche.

In the eyes of some.
He is a genius limited to artistic personality cliches.
Now turning in a work of genius, but still having some degree of social skills too....?
That'd be epic.

He has though. Most actors enjoy working with him.

Well then. Perhaps he isnt as bad as they say.
Or is it that they like being in big films: Something that Scott happens to be very good at.
Have you seen 'White Squall'?

Very. And a rather small movie for Scott.

Definitely.
Thats one of the things I remember impressing me more.
If that was Michael Bay, he'd have had to work in more explosions and stuff. Scott is genius because he knows how to do grandiose, yet knows how to restrain himself for a feeling of reality within the movie's sake.

Absolutely. Even though I think American Gangster and Body of Lies are pretty good films, I do kinda the miss the extreely pretty look he can produce. Very restraint movies, look wise.

For real. Had I not known beforehand, I'd never have known that American Gangster was his.

True. SHows he's getting a bit more versatile, but then: who's making the very pretty movies now?

YEah, but they shoot on schedule. So they're willing to compromise on look when push comes to shove. And even then, even though they are great and very stylish films, the pristine beauty Scott produces is quite unsurpassed.

I think that Scott also had more extravagent visual subject matter in Alien, Gladiator and yes even White Squall, and American Gangster looked drearier than No Country for old men.

I agree. But that was his personal choice. I'm sure he could have made AG look extremely 70s slick.
