Really sad news about Pat Morita. Mr. Miyagi, in my humble opnion, is the best on screen trainer/master/sensei ever. Sorry Yoda, he's just light years ahead of you.

Damn, I loved that old Sensei. He taught me everything I know about teaching ungrateful whippersnappers martial arts.
Mr. Miyagi will forever live in our hearts.

Had the eighties lasted longer I think the power of his head band and the fact that he was rad would have allowed him to live forever. If only 'twere possible! He shall be missed.

Ah, yes. Noriyuki "Pat" Morita --- probably the wisest, most sensible sage Hollywood has ever known.
There were, as I recall, four Karate Kid movies --- the fourth, The Next Karate Kid, being notorious for including the first national exposure, albeit in its end credit sequence, of Des'ree's one-hit wonder "Ya Gotta Be," a tune later perpetuated by an ad campaign for ABC's Good Morning America.
Now I shall no longer think of Miyagi-san without hearing "Ya Gotta Be" --- as the centerpiece of the tune's chorus boasted a reference to the notion that 'love will save the day.' You have earned your rest, Wise One. Sleep well.

Thats a shame. He must have felt embarassed when he read the script and saw all the pidgen english he'd have to force out in those films. They were a definate chunk of my childhood though.
In Japan, 'Karate Kid' is called 'Best Kid'. I wonder why?

He was also Arnold of "Arnold's" drive in from Happy Days (70's Ron Howard vehicle) the first four seasons or so. Too bad, Pat. Wax off.

that's really sad. HE was cool...
oddly enough i saw an episode of caroline in the city the other day on cable while getting ready for work and he was on it.
he played a video store owner who kept trying to get people to hire 'BASEketball'
"It's funny, it's about two guys who invent a new game! half baseball, half BASEketball!"
i just thought it was funny...
but he gave a really good speech in it about people who attract negative things to themselves, which other people have said to me but i just sounded better comming from him, and it actaully had impact.

First Porkins, now Mr Miyagi.
Sadness. Hope you are waxing on and waxing off in that great dojo in the sky.

I heard about this a couple of days ago at work and couldn't believe it at first. Damn this sucks.
Apparently writing about JM here is his secret weakness. Muwahaha!!!! Now I have leverage over him and am another step closer towards my goal of world domination.

Kurgan X showed me this web comic done with Legos. It pokes fun at all six Star Wars films and I found it to be extremely entertaining.
