Goodbye Sweet Swayze
Or, "Life sure has a sick sense of humor, doesn't it?" - Bodhi
This one really got me. All reasons are obvious, but that doesn't make them any less sock-you-in-the-gut terrible. The man was in a lot of movies that shaped my life, period. POINT BREAK IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER MADE. And we all know that beside having one of the best names ever conceived, Johnny Utah has nothing to do with it. Everything about Swazye in this movie is perfection. None of this hippie surfer bullshit. He rips, he rides, and he robs goddamned banks in a tuxedo with a goddamned Ronald Reagan mask on! Bodhi, you will always be the man. Dalton, you will always be the man, too. Johnny Castle? You're the man, but that's in a special tingly way that's just between me and you.
Goodbye, Patrick Swayze. Thanks for all things amazing. "Yo, Johnny! I'll see you in the next life!"
P.S. I secretly hope that instead of "I've had the time of my life", they play this at his memorial. In fact, I wouldn't mind if it's played it at my memorial.
