"We awww da worl...we awww da chillen"...

Best wishes to The Swayze.

In his honor, when I leave work, I will put "She's Like The Wind" on repeat, crank the volume up all the way, then lock my office door, ensuring everyone listens to his dulcet tones forever.

Wolverines, yo.

Why does it have to be Swayze! WHY? WHY? why can't it be ....I don't know... Vermillion or one of the Osmonds?

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!?!?!

Oh, Barbado, thank gods. I was starting to wonder what had happened to you.

I could care less if Rachel Bilson quits acting or whatever. She wants to have kids someday. Wow, who cares? Articles like those are supposed to be so groundbreaking, when in reality they give out the most generic information possible. It's like her saying "I like to shop and talk with my friends." BFD. Now if she said "I like to eat sand and run around screaming at mice" then I would read it.

I hope Patrick Swayze recovers. I've never been a real fan of his movies, but he seems like a cool guy overall.

Well things got a little...rough after TK had to open his big cakehole to rag on Hackers. Let's just say I hauled ass before it snowballed and the Zombie horde got there.

In his honor, when I leave work, I will put "She's Like The Wind" on repeat, crank the volume up all the way, then lock my office door, ensuring everyone listens to his dulcet tones forever.

HA!! TK, I'm home sick from work today and my roommate and I JUST finished watching Dirty Dancing...neither of us can stop singing that fucking song.

I knew the rumors about your undead flesh being hunted through the interwebs was waaaay premature BSlim.

Mona Lisa Smiles is (raise your glass) a misogynistic movie? seriously? Are we going to start labeling whole generations and any reflection thereof misogynistic as well?

Now Sugar Tits Gibson? That movie was gawd awful. Mad About You be damned, I cannot forgive Ms Hunt for that fiasco.

Wish I'd followed suit...I had to deal with the aftermath....

I think it's too late for Katie by now. She's doomed. They have her DNA on tap...on tap! There's nowhere she can run to. I have to admit, though...I never thought I'd see a real life Stepford wife...

I've been on and off on Swayze for quite some time, unable to decide if I liked his movies or not (Donnie Darko doesn't count...nothing can bring that down from its pedestal). However, I do hope he gets better...there's just been too much death and disease lately.

And Quizlaw is a great name for a lil'un. Makes for interesting backstory and character-building sessions with the local bullies.

One more reason to love Japan. As if we needed one.

It's about fucking time SOMEBODY called out Mona Lisa Smiles as one THE MOST misogynistic movies ever made, you should be ashamed of yourself, *LILIAN.*

Let's get some backlash started up in this mutha'!

The following things are not up for discussion seeing how they're already universal truths:

1. Swayze's best film was Red Dawn

*chaos ensues*

QUIET! I SAID, QUIET! aahhhh SHADDUP!

2. Followed closely, by Roadhouse.

Meeting adjourned.

Look BSlim, my uterus and I happen to think it's a shitty ass movie, but we weren't feeling the hate.

Now don't get me started on the Roadhouse misogyny you sick bastard.

Why does it have to be Swayze! WHY? WHY? why can't it be ....I don't know... Vermillion or one of the Osmonds?

You can say whatever you like, but I am still going to mount you for your SAC shoutout.

Now don't get me started on the Roadhouse misogyny you sick bastard.

----------------------------------------------

Ouch, ...that time of the month eh? Don't worry, I understand. *wink*

Verm: you know you, just opened that gay-porn can of worms again.

B-Slim... I'm not sure how you escaped, you wily motherfucker, but...

I'm sorry. Road House comes first.

Then Red Dawn.

Then Next of Kin. YES, I SAID NEXT OF FUCKIN' KIN.

Then Point Break.

Slim, it is Roadhouse.

Discussion is closed.

This looks like a stand-off...

Verm: you know you, just opened that gay-porn can of worms again.

I missed the last go-round, and TK stifled my attempted restart. So bring it on.

You know you want to.

I have a confession: I have not seen any of those Swayze films. I saw some RH clips though, if it makes a difference. But, in an effort to put more fire in Slim's blood, I must say Road House is the top Swayze movie.

"M-word" movies: Might as well light this fuse as well. It seems the author of that piece needs to attend one of TK's "The Definition of Misogyny" Seminars. Now in Natick!

But I do like the fact that giving Vincent Gallo a blowjob, even if you are dating him at the time, is a crime against womankind.

"I have a confession: I have not seen any of those Swayze films."

You. Are. DEAD.

To. Me.

Just wait until I tell Kat.

Mona Lisa Smiles is (raise your glass) a misogynistic movie? seriously?

Are you fucking kidding?! Have you actually seen that condescending piece of shite? I do have to wonder, since you got the title wrong.

Sorry TK. Point Break is tops for me. Then Next of Kin, then Roadhouse....

Actually, tops for me is Swayze and Farley - vying for the Chippendales!!!! woooo!!

Sheeeit...I'm staying out of this one. Have at it..as much as I like the man, Patrick Swayze isn't a good enough reason for another zombie battle.

"Sorry TK. Point Break is tops for me. Then Next of Kin, then Roadhouse...."

I REFUSE TO LISTEN TO ANY MORE OF THIS... THIS...

SACRILEGE!

ZOMBIE HORDES! KILL!

This looks like a stand-off...

Bring It...

[Looks at arsenal and begins preparations]

*sigh* let me get my shoes with the rubber soles...

Vermillion, that is sacrilege. I agree with what TK said.

But thanks for helping irritate Slim.

[preps chainsaw for zombie hoards]

ZOMBIE HORDES! KILL!

Posted by: TK at March 6, 2008 4:44 PM

FUUUCK! *as I jump through glass* window

WOLVERINES!!!!!!

*Looks like your blood lust we'll have to wait, *Mel*

But, I have everything ready to go.

Damn.

it's bad enough having "We Are the World" stuck in your head but to have it replaced with "She's Like the Wind"???

thanks. a lot. TK.

[walks off in a huff]

Damnit, TK, that's why we can't have nice things. Where do you even keep these things?

[screaming with middle fingers raised]

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my leeeeeeeeague
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs

She's like the wind

[cries, shakes fist at God]

TK, you rat bastard!

That's it... {pulls out cheap imitation Green Destiny Sword, conks TK on the head and says}

"May you dream of large women"

WOLVERINES!

Jerce
condescending? sure? piece of shit absolutely. But M-word bad? nope.

And really, it's a bad enough movie that I don't even feel your scorn for getting the title wrong. Well maybe a little. But I'm not sobbing in the corner like a WOMAN or anything. There's just dust... from the zombie attack... here in my little eye.

The Outsiders

(isn't it a little morbidly premature to start listing his best movies already?)

oh, and for the record, it's:

...sleep well, and dream of large women."

I stand corrected.

OK...interesting first person telling from Patrick Swayze of what he calls the single most introspective night of his life.

When I was in college for special effects, he was apparently in Pittsburgh doing something and decided to stop by to visit a friend of his who was one of the instructors in my special f/x program, named Jerry.

Apparently Jerry was his on-set make-up artist when he filmed Tiger Warsaw, so they spent a lot of time together. Filming for Tiger began before Dirty Dancing came out so the "Crayze" (

During the ride, he got up from the driver's seat at one point to get himself a drink, completely unaware that they were still moving and that he was the one in control. Anyhow...they ended up in Washington County (bout 60 miles away) because he wanted Jerry to take him to the cemetary where the original NotLD was filmed. He drives the Winny into the Cemetary, across some open grass and up a hill. Midway up the hill, the bald tired come into play and the winny begins to slide back and forth, getting ass all over the place. He rolls it. This was 1987. No cell phones. About 10 miles from the closest phone. Everyone was perfectly fine. When deciding whether or not to go get help, Patrick crawled back into the van to get his guitar and began playing, saying it would help him make up his mind. he made up his mind at 8 in the morning when a groundskeeper found them all singing, drunk, leaning against the side of the trailer. Patrick was taken to the hospital because he still had his cut make-up on his face from the previous evening's shoot and they cops on scene thought he was in shock and needed stitches. No.... it was the acid. And the cuts were just make-up. I don't care what anyone says about the guy and his movies...he's funny as shit when he tells a story and that was a cool day at school. Drinkin that night was even better. Best wishes dude!...err Dawg!

dammit...it erased my parethetical comment after 'Crayze'

And cancer, schmancer Patrick. As Dalton Voss would say "Pain don't hurt."

WHAT.THE.FUCK! Why did it erase half of my goddamn story?!!?!!

Well...here is what was missing.

Filming for Tiger began before Dirty Dancing came out so the "Crayze" hadn't yet started to run through the women of america. He had a small trailer that he shared with his 2 make-up artists and 2 P/A's. Everyone was out to dinner immediately after that evening's shoot. Jerry, Patrick, and Gino Crognale (another instructor...and the punker who gets his head zapped off into a dumpster in Frankenhooker) were in the van drinking copious amounts of Johnny Walker Red. Then...Patrick said he got the brilliant idea to eat mushrooms (Jerry claims it was acid). Just as he's peaking he decides it's a great idea to take a trip. Now...that IS a great idea in PGH...especially on the strip. But not when you're tripping balls and the trailer they gave you is a DRIVEABLE Winnebago. Now...they were wedged into an alley but he solved the problem of getting out. Just push every.single.fucking.car in front of him out of the way with the trailer and go. And that's exactly what he did. It apparently took him about 5 minutes to get out of the alley. In the process, balding the rear tires, all 4 of them. But in no time at all they were jamming through the liberty tunnels and cruising down Rt. 51 into the dark PA coutryside.

Pissboy, that story brought a tear to my eye.

The Swayze can never be be accused of thinking he's god's gift to acting or any of that ego bullshit (at least, to my knowledge). And, he brought his personal brand of self deprecating charisma to all his roles, especially, in his *BEST* film....:

RED DAWN.

I think I would go to see Japanese Springsteen in concert.

But you know the guy who got to be Michael Jackson just thought it was his best day EVER!

BSlim...AVVEEENNNNNNNGGGEEE MEEEEEE!!!!! AVENNNGGGEEEE MMMEEEEE!!

And be sure to grab plenty of toilet paper. I ain't using no leaves. Now get up there and piss in the radiator.

1st for Red Dawn! Swayze takes down the red swine! Hellz Yeah! Roadhouse is 2nd. Point Break 3rd. Next of Kin 4th. Then Tiger Warsaw.

Nnnnn...Alright. I have no clue what the cool kids are talking about, but:

DUDES!

Corey Feldman on Electric Circus!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=corey+feldman+music&page=1

It's not him singing (too bad, I guess they couldn't subject the masses to that), but this is just as nice!

White People Dancing...TONIGHT!!!!

hold the faith, all...
i believe he has the same type of pancreatic cancer that steve jobs was diagnosed with in '03.
at least that's our understanding from news reports here on the left coast.
not good, but still better than the michael landon kind.

yeah, he seems like a cool dude. he owns a ranch out here somewhere (or did, i never heard that he sold it) called "rancho bizarro". i always loved that.

Electric Circus, like the dancing show that used to be on Muchmusic? Please tell me Corey Feldman was on Electric Circus.
Also, if those were the most "misogynistic" movies Radar could find in all of the past decade, they're not looking very hard. Not that you can't find issues there, but there has been much worse. Just sayin'.

How could that article miss the most misogynist movie of this decade: Revenge of the Sith?

Come on, Padme dies because she can't live without her husband? Fuck you too Lucas.

Children. Come together. All that hate's gonna burn you up.

http://castleforrester.com/media/clowns-in-the-sky/01-10.mp3

Unrelated to the above, but thought you all might enjoy this:
http://www.cracked.com/article_15986_30-things-that-should-never-be-adapted-film.html

When one of these comes to fruition, you will know the end is nigh. (Perhaps not so far off...)

Oh, come on, 'Revenge of the Sith' hated life and joy, not just women.

Don't even get me started on Sin City. Woman-hating? Let's see, Gail and Miho could tear apart half the city each, and Marv and Hartigan both died to avenge/protect the women they loved. Hell, Hartigan didn't even sleep with a more than willing Nancy because he thought it was the wrong thing to do.

Shoot 'em Up? You're going to tell me that Shoot 'em Up had a message?

I really loved the Japanese We Are the World clip! It was especially great that I had no idea what was coming. How hilarious.

So maybe misogynistic was too harsh a term for some of the movies on the list, but sexist, I'll give 'em. And at least someone is calling Hollywood out on this crap. I can't believe what people just blithely accept. (Granted, there is so much general crap in the stuff they put out, that I guess I really shouldn't be surprised by the sexist stuff...)

You know what's awesome? Calling out BSlim on a thread he's not reading. You get the first and last word...

I'm gonna remind people around here that there is still space in the Denial Corner (yes, it is like the Time Lord's ship) (or the tents in Harry Potter, depending on your nerd tweek)

In the Denial Corner there is no cancer.

Yeah, some of those "misogynistic" classifications bugged me. Writing all your female characters as two-dimensional does not a misogynistic movie make. It makes you a shitty screen writer. And frankly, that's what most of those movies suffer from. Yes, even Sin City. I loved it too, but there was not a single multi-faceted female in that movie, maybe the next one (or two?) will be better.

that radar article was incredibly dumb. i'm glad others noticed it too.

Y'know, if it wasn't for Ponyboy and Sodapop, Dallas would BE a sosh.

He's is SO on my list of people who really ought to get to a ripe old age. What a swell guy. He has the 'hot-sexy-while-prancing' I haven't seen since Gene Kelly. God speed, Swayze, get well.

Put me in camp Point Break.

Could Radar please follow up their article with a list of movies that are NOT misogynistic? Or where men are not portrayed as insecure bumbling dick-for-brains? Both sides of the medal...

Adere;

Man-hating movies? Any movie where a man is expected to woo and win a woman, no matter how horribly she treats him. It's always his responsibility to be Captian Awesome because she's the one whose needs supersede everything.

I do like parts of Notting Hill, but by the end of that movie she should have done a lot more groveling.

OK since I'm betting that I'm a little older than most of you commenters and being that I was a teenage girl when dirty dancing came out and I saw it 4 times on the big screen before I was 17 and considering every guy I was intimate with until I met my husband was just catching the smoke off the Swayze fire I would say that I must be the foremost authority on Swayze films. So if we must rank his movies than let me say...

1. Outsiders
2. Red Dawn
3. Dirty Dancing
4. Point Break
5. Roadhouse
6. Next of Kin

And knowing that he owns anything called rancho bizarro makes me love him even more.

I also applauded when the Chinese Cyndi Lauper Girl started. What a magical moment...

Phat...Swayze was not a major enough character in The Outsiders for it to be considered a Swayze movie. So...by default...Red Dawn is #1 on your list. We got another one Slim!!!

I've never seen Red Dawn...and now I am sad.

I've never seen Red Dawn

Sigh.

Zombie hordes!

It's a tie for first and a tie for second.

Tie for first: Red Dawn and Roadhouse, with Roadhouse getting a slight edge due to the fact that Swayze is the lead character.

Tie for second: Dirty Dancing and Point Break. This is a harder tie to break, since Point Break has the awesomeness of FBI Keanu, but Dirty Dancing has one of the single most awesome quotable lines ever.

I'd probably break it out this way:

1) Roadhouse
2) Red Dawn
3) Point Break
4) Dirty Dancing

Uh uh...back off, TK....I am duty-bound to not let Julie come to harm. I'm sure she'll remedy it this weekend. If you still got a problem...ya gotta go through me...

[readies Skittimus' chainsaw]

Aw, Shadows my betrothed, you're so damned gallant. :)

[sprinkles headshrinking dust on TK a la Beetlejuice]

Betrothed? What the fuck did I miss?

Ha! TK, Shadows proposed in this week's comment diversion because I quoted Willow. Apparently we both have a thing for Madmartigan. :)

Gay Perry? Who couldn't have a thing for Gay Perry?

Inanimate objects and irregular verbs have a thing for Madmartigan.

DOUBLE DEUCE!!

Aw, I love weddings. Can I come? Can I bring the zombies? I'll try to prevent them from eating the guests.

Unless, you know, that's what you're into.

Damn, TK...you're a softy! But considering we're already going to have Julie's tiger there, and an open bar, and an open call to all of pajiba, it might get crowded...

Then again...we could save money using them as ushers...
