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.

Oh, Kelly, I feel your pain. In real life, I'm pretty and about a size 8, but on film, my God. I don't know what it is, but stick a flash in front of me, and I suddenly loose all the bones in my face and everything but my nose dissolves into a flat custard. On the bright side, "Facebook Friends" who see me mostly in photos are always like, "You've lost so much weight, you look wonderful!" whenever I actually see them, so that's kinda nice.

@Triphena: i'm the same. my pale, pale skin and "delicate" facial features combined with my round face and size 8 frame mean i look like a bloated marshmellow in all photos & videos. my own mother has even admtted (in a moment of champagne induced honesty) that i'm just not photogenic!

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.

Seriously, ask my father, stepmom, mother, cousins, you name it, I am on a personal mission for everyone to see this movie. Good for the soul. Granted, there are some easy stereotypes that bother me, but otherwise, one of the more life affirming things I can think of off the top of my head.

When I found out last night, I had the urge to call my mom. She loves the Swayze. But I held off, as she was probably asleep.

When I was younger, Ghost freaked me out (it was the demons combined with my fire and brimstone church, I guess). Now I think I would just watch it and cry.

So Sean Penn is fully enveloped in his mid-life crisis, I see. And while his latest paramour is much younger and undeniably gorgeous, I was still surprised to see that Ms. White is, well, in fact, black.

@Sophie needs to study...damn: why does dating another woman necessarily indicate a midlife crisis? i havnt really heard of him doing anything else out of the ordinary? he and his wife tried to work it out, it didnt happen, they move on. where the mid life crisis?

(i have read stuff about his cheating, though, but that reeks more of douchebaggery than midlife crisis to me, really)

I can't help it -- as douchetastic as Jon Gosselin's comment about Diddy is, he's still making it about a guy who had a good chunk of Twitter laughing at him last week because "Supernatural" fandom made #luciferisrissing a trending topic in celebration of the season premiere, and Diddy thought Satanists were invading and organized his followers to take it down by tweeti ng #GODISALIVE or whatever. Idiot.
