It’s been two years since our beloved P Swayze died. He passed away during a tumultuous time. Along with John Hughes and Michael Jackson, he was part of a trifecta of celebs that perished during the summer of 2009. Sasha and I decided that someone was trying to kill our childhood. I saw Dirty Dancing at the theatre 8 times when it came out. It’s probably the movie I’ve seen most in my life. Needless to say I mourned his passing. So last night, I was channel surfing and happened upon Point Break. I quickly informed my sister that it was on and we had a two woman tribute. So pop in your favourite Swayze pic and have at it.
Fun sidebar – as I was watching the movie I realized that a good buddy story is quite similar to a romantic comedy with regards to the relationship between the two lead characters. I dare you to watch it and tell me that Swayze and Reeves are not in love. The guy from Hot Fuzz agrees with me:
“Patrick Swayze has just robbed this bank, and Keanu Reeves is chasin' him through peoples' gardens, and then he goes to shoot Swayze but he can't because he loves him so much and he's firin' his gun up in the air and he's like 'ahhh!”
