    Few people know that Patrick Swayze's death was predicted long ago - in 1961.

    OK they got the diagnosis a little wrong, but not much.

    Unfortunately for humans, death has no watch, clock, or any perception of time, for that matter. Death can come at day one or at year 81, it doesn't matter for him, only thing that is certain is he will come for every single one of us sooner or later. This is of course, all in response to the opening statements that Swayze's death was untimely. While I never got to truly appreciate his work, I do admire his body of work from afar.

    Im glad this didnt go down. I would hate to think that Swayze's last foray into celluloid was a parody of one of his best films! I want to remember him for Road house, Ghost and Donnie Darko. Its also nice to think though, if Swayze did agree to this..it does show how cool is sense of humour was!!!

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): Yes, Donnie Darko and Roadhouse but I'd like to add "To Wong Foo" He brought great dignity and respect to a role that could have been one giant cheap laugh with a lessor actor.

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): I got a kick out of Swayze in that cheesy movie I caught on SciFi Channel a bit back called George and the Dragon with James Purefoy, Piper Perabo, and Michael Clark Duncan. It was a great fun medieval sword/dragon flick that I recommend watching if you haven't seen it.

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): It wouldn't have been any worse than his actual last work, which was a crappy cable TV cop show.

    He was much better than it was, and I was sorry to see him wasting his talent and remaining life on it. The writing was dull and pedestrian and the supporting actors were TERRIBLE.

    Did you hear that Swazye is going to be a guest on The View next week?

    He'll only talk to Whoopie Goldberg though.

    (don't look at me that way, I didn't come up with it)

    I've heard rumors of this on IMDB. I'd be interested to see what they come up with. The movie is called Mute, and apparently, it'll be different, which would make sense if Rockwell's character is only a cameo.

    Though I enjoyed Moon as a good story, I'm not going to give it praise for being 'smart' until we get an explanation for why the inside of the space station had Earth-standard gravity and outside it was.. well, like it would be on the moon. It's not like AC, folks: closing the door doesn't keep all the gravity in.

    So did real people actually like moon? I can see it being a "critics" movie but when I went to see it at the local indie movie theater everyone I talked to after seemed to think it was a bit lacking.
    I didn't think there was much drama or tension between the two and the "twist" seemed pretty obvious.

    @tande04: I'm a 'real person' and I loved it. I think it's one of the smartest films of the year. I don't think it had so much a 'twist' as it did a reveal, which was then explored.
    You say that everyone you talked to seemed to think it was a bit lacking. Did YOU think it was lacking? It would be nice to hear what you thought of 'Moon' rather than what the other people thought. I don't think there was suppose to be drama and tension between the two, beyond the initial meeting.
    I'm not saying it was perfect but I will say I thought it was brilliant, and a wonderful change from all the big, loud summer blockbusters (which I also enjoy).

    @utini42: I agree that it was more of a reveal with exploration. What I loved about it was the development of characters. The scene in the crawler after he gets a message back to Earth was just beautifully done and really stuck with me. I also really liked Gurdy. Hell I liked the whole movie and can't wait for it to hit dvd so I can rewatch it and share it with people I know.

    Instead of a cameo, he will make a locket with a small photograph enclosed.

    @The-Simpsons-Rule!!: Yeah, he's better off just showing up and saying nothing, but just the same, the entire movie was unraveling around the midway point anyway, so it didn't matter.
