  • is that a scottish accent? I thought he was english

  • 'Alien' was right up my street' i like this guy

  • @MikeAM78 Matchstick Men, Kingdom of Heaven, Body of Lies, American Gangster, all really good movies

  • @webeffect really now? maybe you should lay off the drugs.

  • He's Actually my # 1 favorite filmmaker and inspirer !!!! You Rock Ridely Scott !!!!

  • His dvd commatries are good to listen to. You really feel like you're learning unlike Micheal Bay who sounds like a jerk too impressed with himself and why no one can see his genius.

  • dude i can tell hes like brilliant, i like him

  • He hits the nail on the head when he mentions good choices. The best directors are the ones who make the wisest, most intelligent artistic and creative choices.

  • he made a C movie into an A. only the best can do that

  • Creating a convincing universe is good, then you have to make it interesting while staying trueto the universe you've created. Much harder, but if you do it well, it propels your film to art instead of fodder.
