Rest In Peace Bodhi

When I was about 9 or 10 I used to think that these dudes were the coolest thing on earth:

But then this movie called Point Break came out, and I realised the errors of my way. Dressing up in your mum's wardrobe from the 70s will only get you so far with the ladies, but dropping quotes from Point Break, whoa.

"Sir, I take the skin off a chicken!" and "I caught my first tube today... sir!" are vintage Keanu, whose career can be summed up with this photo.

But the real star of Point Break was Bodhi, the bank robbing philosopher who likes to sky dive, surf fifty foot waves and say things like "It's basic dog psychology, if you scare them and get them peeing down their leg, they submit. But if you project weakness, that promotes violence, and that's how people get hurt. "

That character is basically as kick ass as Patrick Swayze's entire career, except when he plays that kiddy fiddler in that movie with Jake Gyllenhal, that's creepy.

Mr Swayze, I'll always hold you close to my heart, like the book I read 564 times when I was 9.

See you at Bell's Beach for the 50 year storm Mr Swayze.
