Patrick Swayze is still alive:
Patrick Swayze's publicist released a statement Tuesday morning denying reports of the actor's death. The Twitter microblogging network was ablaze Tuesday morning with reports that Swayze, 56 and suffering from pancreatic cancer, had died. Here's the release from publicist Annett Wolf:
"This is to confirm that Patrick Swayze did not pass away this morning contrary to severely reckless reports stemming from a radio station in Jacksonville, Fla. Patrick Swayze is alive, well and is enjoying his life and he continues to respond to treatment."
I have slagged the man in the past, and given poor reviews to his movies, but Red Dawn, Road House, and Point Break are three of the guiltiest of my guilty pleasures, and I - for one - am very happy the Swayz is still kicking.
Though I have started working on the memorial post...
I was thinking Swayze Fest, but your idea intrigues me.
No Cyborg, though.
There is also Steel Dawn, which is awesome in its own soul-destroying way.
I propose a Cheesy Post-Apocalyptic Film Festival in the near future, featuring Steel Dawn, Damnation Alley and Tom Petty’s video for “You Got Lucky”.
