    As long as Ethan Hawke doesn't shout "Get your paws off me, you damn dirty vampire", this will be excellent. And assuming the ex-vampire thing isn't seen as a metaphor for ex-gay by the religious nuts. #daybreakers

    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.

    This is a terrific book, and I'm amazed someone has the good taste to turn it into a movie.

    Also, nobody knows more about ladies' professional wrestling in the 50's than Bradley Denton. Which has nothing to do with this, but dude is amazing.

    This is an excellent novel. Not his best, but that doesn't mean anything other than that he's done even better since. I've always thought this would make a good madcap movie.

    Just read both graphic novels (the first being much better), and I must say, the story is pretty great, and really does get you thinking. Here's hoping they don't mess with it too much, and keep the final few panels intact.
