Re: RIP Patrick Swayze
Thank you, Patrick Swayze. Without you, Donnie Darko just would not have been the same.
There's what you love to do, and then there's what you get paid to do. Those two things are often different.

Re: RIP Patrick Swayze
He had kept working despite the diagnosis, putting together a memoir with his wife and shooting "The Beast," an A&E drama series for which he had already made the pilot. It drew a respectable 1.3 million viewers when the 13 episodes ran in 2009, but A&E said it had reluctantly decided not to renew it for a second season.
Swayze said he opted not to use painkilling drugs while making "The Beast" because they would have taken the edge off his performance. He acknowledged that time might be running out given the grim nature of the disease.
When he first went public with the illness, some reports gave him only weeks to live, but his doctor said his situation was "considerably more optimistic" than that.
"I'd say five years is pretty wishful thinking," Swayze told ABC's Barbara Walters in early 2009. "Two years seems likely if you're going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I'd better get a fire under it."

True, but as the owner of a pair of testicles I don't give two smurfs about Dirty Dancing or Ghost.
Point Break, however... That was a work of unintentionally hilarious genius.
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

He went out with dignity. He didn't strike me as the type that wanted sympathy for his condition, he just accepted it.

Re: RIP Patrick Swayze
I mentioned Swayze's death to a guy a work near.
After a bit he's says to me " At least he made one great movie".
I was like "Oh?"
And he said :Yeah, RoadHouse"
:::::::::::internal dialogue:::::::::::
Roadhouse??wtf?.....is he joking? Hmmmm
He doesn't look like he's joking
I replied, Oh?
And walked away, scratching my head.....Roadhouse?????
But ya, he made some movies that were pretty bad but still pretty entertaining, particularly with beer.
The thing with Swayze you had to admire was that no matter how bad the script he did it dead earnest.
"and it's not surprising that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

User beat both of youse.
I'll never forget seeing it with a friend, and quietly but steadily tossing brickbats at it... when one of them turned and swept the back of an RPG across a rock face, we both covered and said "Backblast!" 
...ntm the rest of it.
