Rest In Peace Tony Scott

While I don't necessarily consider him the greatest of the Scott brother directors, his contribution to film is appreciated.
Jumping to his death from a bridge in Los Angeles today, Tony Scott leaves a pretty good legacy in Hollywood. With films such as Days of ThunderBeverly Hills Cop IISpy Game, Man on Fire, and Unstoppable on his resume, his most well known movie will always be Top Gun. It gets worse the older you grow as you realize the cheesiness of the plot and acting, but it just holds a special place in guys' hearts as a great man movie.
My personal favorite of Scott's is Crimson Tide. The tension between Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman coupled with the close quarters of the submarine make it a great thriller. Pay tribute to the man that brought us

Quick Hit

I haven't really had time to do much blogging lately. I moved departments to the Mortgage Services (Customer Service) group with Colonial and have been extremely busy responding to customers' e-mails and speaking to people on the phone about their mortgages. I have learned a ton in the last month and really enjoy work again. It is not just working for two of the eight hours I'm on the clock and reading a book the rest of the day.
I'll try and say more when I have some time.
