once again, the greatness of T✧✧@K✧✧.E✧✧ on the greatness of patrick swayze:
SOMETIME I WISH PATRICK SWAZEY WAS OUR FATHER AND GIVED ME AND FRED THE DANCE LESSONS EVERY DAY. THE DANCE PART WHEN THE MAN SHOVE THE LADY AWAY AND TO SPIN. BUT THEN STOP AND GRAB THE LADY BACK CLOSE TO HIM. THATS A GOOD DANCE PART AND COULD HELPED WIN AWARD IN DANCE CONTEST. BUT IF I HEARD PATRICK SWAZEY WOULD BE IN DANCE CONTEST. THEN I WOULDNT BE IN A DANCE CONTEST TOO. I WOULD GOTO THE BATHROOM AND NOT COME OUT UNTIL IT WAS ALL OVER PLUS SOME. IF THAT EVRE HAPPEND. ID LIKE TO HAVED ONE OF THOSED LITTLE TELEVISIONS THAT GOES ON BATTERIES. I COULD BRINGF IT INTO THE BATHROOM WITH ME AND WATCH TV ON IT. BUT IF FRED WANTED TO COME WITH. I DONT THINKED THAT WOULD BE TOO GOOD. I DONT THINKED PERSUNS SHOULD SEE ME AND FRED IN THE BATHROOM STALL WATCHING A LITTLE TV TOGETHER WHILE PATRICK SWAZEY IS OUT THERE DANCING WITH A LADY. AT DIFFREND TIME IT MIGHT GO ALRIGHT. BUT JUST NOT THIS TIME. NOT WITH PATRICK SWAZE OUT THERE DANCING AROUND WITH A LADY. IT MIGHT WORK JUST FOR ME. BUT WITH FRED WITH. IT MIGHT NOT LOOKED TOO GOOD. THEY MIGHT THINK WERE TOO SCARED TO DANCE CONTEST WITH A LADY. BUT NOT TOO SCARED TO WATCH A LITTLE TV IN THE BATHROOM TOGETHER. FRED WOULD JUST HAVED TO DANCE CONTEST WITH PATRICK SWAZEY AND NOT MIND IT. BUT IF PATRICK SWAZE LEADED THE WAY. IF PATRICK SWAYZE. BEFORE HE DANCE CONTESTED WITH A LADY. GOTO BATHROOM WITH FRED AND ME TO WATCH A LITTLE BATTERY POWERED TV IN THE STALL. AND NOT GOTO THE BATHROOM JUST TO GOTO THE BATHROOM. THEN IT JUST MIGHT LOOKED ALRIGHT AFTERWARDS FOR JUST ME AND FRED TO WATCH A LITTLE TV TOGETHER THERE.

Can't keep a good man down!:
There was no heavy-handedness in the line of dialogue, intended or accidental. Nothing about the scene — one of the many Mr. Swayze is filming on location here in the course of making a new police drama called “The Beast” — suggested anything other than that professional actors were at work.But of course something quite out of the ordinary was taking place. A celebrity film star, who was given a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer less than a year ago, was putting in 12-hour days as the lead in a television series.Partly, what was happening comes down to a work ethic for Mr. Swayze. In his first interview since his return to acting after receiving the diagnosis last January, Mr. Swayze said, “I just love to work hard.”But he was aware that what he is doing right now is beyond what anyone believed would be possible 10 months ago. Pancreatic cancer, experts say, has only a 5 percent five-year survival rate.“I do find myself, at the end of the day, riding home sort of catching myself with a smile on my face,” he said. “I’m proud of what I’m doing.” ... “His doctors continue to be encouraging,” Mr. Van Amburg said. “His scans have been clean and clear. But they always couch things in caution. They tell us things like: ‘He should be fit to work, as far as we can tell today.’ ” He added, “They have never said he’s cured.”In “The Beast” Mr. Swayze will be back in front of the public weekly, starting in January. Where things will go from there, no one can be sure yet, though the production executives are already talking about a second season — with Patrick Swayze.That is certainly in Mr. Swayze’s plans as well.“There is probably that little bird that flies through your insides and says, ‘I sure would like to make a mark in life,’ ” Mr. Swayze said. “I’ve made a pretty decent mark so far — nothing to scoff at. But it does make you think: Wait a minute. There’s more I want to do. Lots more. Get on with it.”

having seen this movie on basic cable so many times it's kind of shocking how many titties and swear words there actually are
― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 21 December 2008 23:27 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh Road House.. My favorite of the film's many fine plot points is that PSwayz rolls into that sleepy hamlet only to immediately find a mystical dojo for rent, which is not only directly adjoined to the aw shucks farm, but is also directly across the river from his arch nemesis, who has no reservations about scoping out Pswayz's chiseled, oily cosmic-enlightenment/workout sessions. And the movie was directed by a man who calls himself "Rowdy!" Seriously, I'd like to see the Ben Stiller/Edgar Wright set come up with something as perfectly camp. And it was 4 Real!
