In Memoriam of my father, CBS Jr. (1940-2008)
I hope you are at peace now.

I just saw on the news that iconic 80's director John Hughes passed away today. That's a total shock...he was only 59 years old. Hughes was the seminal teen comedy movie director who tapped into the zeitgeist of the times and showed that teenagers were multifacted, not just numb archetypes looking to get laid. Fortunately, he has left a superlative cinema legacy that many generations love. R.I.P.

Patrick Swayze passes away at 57.
Another good actor/celebrity that joins too many passing this year alone. He wasn't one of my favorite actors, but, liked him in his early work: The Outsiders, Red Dawn, Road House (for kitsch fun) & Point Break! A great 80's action classic that had him playing the leader of a pack of bankrobbing surfers who lived by a Nike "Just Do it" code against Keanu Reeves's former football hero FBI detective who capitulates to the "bad guy" dynamic. Point Break was an action movie mold that other movies copied (like The Fast & Furious) where an undercover cop infiltrates an extreme sport clique of criminals. Just watched that two weeks ago...I never would have thought that while watching him then, roll banks, surf and skydive, he would pass away so soon.
I undertand that he was putting up a hell of a fight, battling pancreatic cancer, which is one, if not has the highest mortality rate. He still went to work on his TV show, The Beast, this past year, but, could not promote it adequately like any show needs due to his therapy/medicine regimen. He even portrayed a tranny in the comedy To Wong Fu: Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar...Talk about mettle.
This guy was a good guy, a good actor, a family man...and a badass in "Point Break!"
R.I.P. Mr. Swayze.
