Rest in Peace. You fought hard.

Many an icon has died this year. Very sad

[Fpoonsie]

This guy always seemed like a relatively good person, which is saying a lot in H-Wood.

RIP.

At least the "Pain don't hurt" no more.

20 months is a "long battle"?

A lot of cancer victims fight for years and years, through remissions, recurrences, different cancers.

pancreatic cancer, like lung cancer, is relatively swift and reliable. Almost nobody makes it to 5 years after diagnosis.

[MoSpur]

Sad.

[BlackSwordsMan]

you'd figure if you were diagnosed with cancer you'd stop smoking

[boutons_deux]

smoking isn't amenable to "figuring", it's physical addiction, not mental.

[bostonguy]

:depressed:depressed

Rip. I loved you in Point Break.

[jack sommerset]

Good for him smoking til the end.....RIP

[phyzik]

can someone tell me how smoking gets you pancreatic cancer? seriously, I thought you could only get cancer from smoking in your mouth, throat and lungs.

When you get pancreatic cancer, be sure and tell us how long one day lasts.

20 months for pancreatic is like 10 years for lung. Most patients are given 6-12 months.

classic.

"..It's not tragic to die doing what you love..."

[boutons_deux]

5-year mortality rate for pancreatic is about 95%

For lung cancer, 85-90%.

Uncommon Valor is one of my favorite movies.

Point Break :tu

[BacktoBasics]

Most overrated actor ever.

Decent in Point Break funny on SNL famous for a B-Movie.

I don't wish cancer on anybody and its ashamed he passed away but still.

[JoeChalupa]

Sad news. RIP.

[JoeChalupa]

He may not have been the best actor in the world but I still enjoyed his movies and that to me is more important than winning an Oscar.

I hate myself for laughing at that.













And, btw, Boutons Part II is dumber than the original, which is hard to accomplish.

[CavsSuperFan]
