Scott -

Thank you for bowing to the wishes of the mainstream and making good science fiction for us; while being restricted and controlled by studios and bureaucrats we have seen and been able to judge your true wisdom when it comes to films and making good compelling sci-fi.

If I could stand up and the academy and drop trow and **ckslap every one of those mother f'ers across the face for snubbing you and for snubbing sci-fi for decade after decade I would. Five hundred times.

They can just stand corrected. You are a rockstar. Those d**chebags over at this mysterious "academy" don't know what they are doing. To quote Ice Cube (sorry guys) "Check yourself before you WRECK yourself"

(looking very harshly at you "Academy")

And another sci-fi bites the dust, poor Ridley...

We still love you man, please make another film before your world ends...

Here, here!

After the Gladiator snub, it was pretty obvious that the Academy takes Ridley's talent for granted. I have no idea why this is the case. And then they gave Best Director to freaking Rob Marshall for Chicago? A dance choreographer who had never directed a movie before beat Ridley Scott for directing Black Hawk Down??

The Oscars are a popularity contest where the popularity can be bought. Ridley Scott is a legend and nobody can take that away from him. They can give talentless hacks all the Oscars they want but it won't make them more talented or successful than Ridley.

I agree.

I love His Four Sci-Fis like everybody but personally I prefer His Epics.

I think Sir Ridley Scott is The King of Epics.

I want EXODUS: DIRECTOR'S CUT(3D) before he dies. EXODUS and KINGDOM OF HEAVEN: DIRECTOR'S CUT are so underrated. Even ROBIN HOOD: EXTENDED CUT is underrated.

People only remember about his masterpiece GLADIATOR.

I hope Sir Ridley Scott Directs Another Huge Epic before he retires.

Perhaps that is why I love Ridley Scott so much: my favorite genres are sci-fi and epic.

Exodus: Gods and Kings definitely needs a director's cut. It did wonders for Kingdom of Heaven's reputation to have the director's cut playing in theaters for awards consideration and being released on DVD shortly thereafter. I'm sure Exodus is more problematic because of all the CGI that would need to be completed. Hopefully that Martian and Covenant money will cover Fox's expenses?

Lots of Scott movies need a director's cut. A release of Thelma & Louise with the alternate ending restored would be great, as the ending infamously tarnishes an otherwise outstanding film. I read he declined a longer version of Prometheus, even though everyone wants one. The was also a rumor at one point that 1492 was going to be extended, but I'm not sure what happened. One of the most gorgeous movies I've ever seen, though. My jaw spent a lot of time on the floor.

I agree.
I enjoyed "Robin Hood" in the long version.
Yes, there are flaws, but not as many as in "The Revenant".

"Exodus" could be great with an hour more.
With Sigourney Weaver back in.

"Kingdom of Heaven-DC" is a masterpiece up there with his best.
It's the best medieval film ever made.

I agree 100% with you, man.

I hope for EXODUS: DIRECTOR'S CUT.

FOX wanted EXODUS to be 150 minutes so Sir Ridley Scott made exactly that.

Then, Sir Ridley Scott said that EXODUS was a way better movie in his previous cut of 180 minutes(3 Hours) and 30 minutes MORE than the theatrical version.

EXODUS is a Personal Movie for Sir Ridley Scott Because is a Huge Epic about Two Brothers.

In a Weird and Fascinating Way, Is A Movie For His Brother Tony.
