    I'm not one to say all childless people are sad, but I read an interview where Patrick and his wife hinted that they wouldn't have minded kids, but it never happened for them, or maybe she had a miscarriage? I think there was some quote about how they just waited too long to try. If they weren't able to have kids and wanted them, I feel bad for them, but it sounds like they had a great relationship. 34 years, man oh man.

    Demi Moore's Twitter, quoting Ghost, made me want to cry.

    That Ghost one made me cry like a baby. I love that movie and that song, and now it's extra sad.

    @tinydundie42: I'm feeling the same way about Dirty Dancing, and realizing that it was a pretty revolutionary movie, and a reason I'm so disappointed in a lot of movies today. A coming-of-age story about a girl? Written by a woman? The class issues? A shot of Patrick Swayze's naked ass as he gets out of bed?

    @minnesotameltdown: Yes, on all of those counts. (Don't forget, about a Jewish family, and realistic treatment of pre-Roe abortion as well.) I think Dirty Dancing is often unfairly maligned as mindless girl-fluff for those reasons and more.

    @BlondeGoddess: My God, I was in love with him as Orry Main. I had his name scribbled all over my school stuff, and as he seemed a relatively old guy to my pre-teen friends, no-one else shared my love. Of course, a couple of years later, when Dirty Dancing came out and all the other girls discovered his hotness, I stuck my nose up and pretended I was sooo over him.

    What, no love for Road House?

    My favorite thing about Patrick Swayze is that he was a cult icon who had a great sense of humor about himself. He knew he was hot in a cheeseball Chippendale kind of way, and was unafraid to exploit it for laughs. He was awesome and I'll miss him.

    @Yahtzii: I agree with this comment completely. He clearly had a sense of humor, and in his recent interview with Walters I thought he revealed a rare attitude of realism and gratitude. Here was a classically trained dancer, who danced on screen and kicked ass in equal measure.

    And that Chippendale's sketch with Farley is pure comedy gold.

    While I'll always remember John Hughes for bringing me Sixteen Candles at a time in my life when I most needed it, (with Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink soon to follow along my teenage arc, as if written specifically for me) I will forever be most grateful for Uncle Buck.

    (Sorry this was so rambling when, basically, I just wanted to say: Thanks, Mr. Hughes.)

    Mr. JB's going to be late home from work, so I've pulled out Some Kind of Wonderful in lieu of listening to Caillou for the 500th or so time. Question: am I the last person on earth not to be sure that Amanda and Hardy were having sex during the opening credits? I was wondering if they'd cover it in the commentary, but they don't. Later in the movie, he alludes to her being "used." Charming.
    Such a contrast after Valley Girl and Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Everyone got laid in those movies.
