I wondered why my missus was in a bad mood when I came in tonight. She's the world's most mental Dirty Dancing fan. Shame. Shame about Patrick losing his battle with the Big C too. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8256033.stm
Patrick Swizzle dead
Wow, that's so sad. He really fought for a long time. He was awesome in Keeping Mum...RIP.
Aw, damn. That sucks. I wasn't a huge fan, but I enjoyed some of his films. Guilty secret of mine, is that Ghost was my number one film between the ages of 8 and 11. 
R.I.P Pat Sway.
The first person to do a "Ghost" joke loses all sweetie privelidges and must sit on the naughty step for an hour.
My mom took a pottery class after seeing Ghost...never knew pottery could be so unsexy!!!

He kicked some serious arse in Roadhouse.
He was very good (despite playing a rather horrible, against-type character) as a cameo in Donnie Darko. R.I.P.

He played a pervy character in Keeping Mum too.
(I was trying to avoid using the word "pervy". Or "paedo". 
)
Sitting in one of my cupboards is a DVD of a film called To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar, which stars Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes and some other guy as drag queens. I can't help but fear it might be a lame American rip-off of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Has anyone seen To Wong Foo... and can recommend it? It's on the pile of low priority viewing, but I might watch it tonight.
Wolverines!

Did your Mum see visions of Swayze's Ghost character and end-up with a huge collection of vases that looked like big ceramic cocks?
To Wong Foo is okay. I saw it on a date. He had no idea it was about drag queens, which was my little surprise. I couldn't come up with a way to get rid of him. This worked great. Take that knowledge and do with it what you will.

Oh, forgot, he was also in Coppola's The Outsiders years ago.
