Topic: R.I.P. Patrick Swayze

I was gonna include Red Dawn on the list, but I couldn't remember actually seeing the movie like the rest of them. I was thinking that I was maybe mixing it up with a different movie, like The Hunt for Red October, so I just left it off the list.

Red Dawn is freaking sweet in a campy-as-Hell kind of way.  The Russians invade Colorado and a bunch of high school kids retreat to the mountains while their parents are put into concentration camps.  They train really hard and come back and kick Gorbachev's ass.  Seriously.  It's great.

Ok, definitely haven't seen that.

Is it that there have been more celebrity deaths than usual or that I have just been paying more attention lately?

Considering what passes for celebrity status these days I'm sure we'll have one a day in a few years.  Possibly due to more cameras and internet communication.  What's weird is this is the only one of these highly reported deaths I knew was going to happen this year.  Pancreatic Cancer is the roughest kind and is usually a death sentence upon diagnosis.

Another movie of his was "Black Dog".  He was a truck driver that was unknowingly hauling weapons around.  Nothing special, but a pretty enjoyable watch.

This also ruins my dreams of a Patrick Swayze, Kurt Russel Buddy flick. I always wanted to see a movie where they played brothers that go around kicking ass for no reason whatsoever.





apparently it almost happened too, well actually that website seems to be unreliable...still

also, one of my dreams is to get Dick Miller to make a lifecast of his face, so that i can put him in every movie possible.
