A Heartbreaking Day for Hunkologists and Civilians Alike

I will always remember Point Break with fondness for the homoerotic tension between ,umm, P.Swayz and ,er, K.Ree. Boy did he look good an the mask of a dead US president.

doodskies...

"nobody puts Baby in a corner."

*swoons*

and i'll never ever forget SNL... me and my husband quote, and i won't lie, we reenact (yes, it's spelled that way.. blah!) it quite often. you can't forget the shiny black pants on that hot body, and not to mention Swayze looked mighty awesome as well. ;)

I could have never done ceramics class, got to try the wheel unsuccessfully, without thinking of Swayze on Demi... Timeless scene. clay will never be the same... mmmmmmm.... OK, anyhow!!!

-bank robbery, red neck family vengeance, sweet dancing skills, ghostly hotness, russian invasions, mullets, sweet 90's love songs....

well, let's just say it, it'll never be done again by another.

i used to call my fantasy about him, "Crazy about Swayze", and watched films with him. there will never be another that could make me bawl as bad as i do when i watch "Ghost", everytime. and that's the goddamn truth! :D

Maddie: K.Ree! I love it. In the immortal words of Bodhi, "If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love." I think P.Swayz would agree.

Kel_Meister: So true: there were a million and one reasons to love him, and he was absolutely one of a kind. Can we make Crazy about Swayze t-shirts and start a Swayzelution? (On an unrelated note, earlier today I saw "reenactment" spelled as "reënactment" with the umlaut and everything--what the heck?!?)

I remember the first time I saw a P. Swayz movie, Dirty Dancing.

My older brother, who was 14 at that time, rented it so my cousin and I (7 and 8yrs old) could watch it with him. The interesting part of the story is that my brother thought for reasons that are unknown to me, that it was actually a martial arts movie. So you had three boys watching a romantic film and waiting for kicks and punches that were not going to come any time soon.

As my discontent (and my cousin's too)was voiced after the first 20 minutes, my brother said that it probably wasn't a martial arts movie but that he was sure some martial arts fights would happen or that martial arts would be involved somehow...

By the time we were 35 minutes into the movie, my cousin and I were already plotting our revenge out loud, so my brother finally stopped the film and apologized.

I don't know whether my brother was joking around or not. But I remember that a few days later he was talking about the movie with a friend and asked him "Why did you tell me that this was a martial arts movie? The kids were ready to kill me!".

Anyway, rest in peace Mr. Swayze. I got to appreciate a little bit more of some of your movies as I grew up.
