It was a bummer to hear about Dennis Hopper passing away when I woke up today. I'm not going to be one of those annoying people who talk about how great of a person he was, how would you know? Really? But I will say this, the man was a great actor and played in a lot of movies that I loved. Including True Romance, The Texas chainsaw Massacre 2,and Super Mario bros. Yes, Super Mario bros! And it's a shame that we won't get to see him do what he does best anymore.
Has anyone been noticing all the deaths lately? Wow, it's crazy!
Dennis Hopper May 7,1936- May 29,2010 He was 74 years old.
Anyways what was everyone's favorite Dennis Hopper flick? Let's reminisce in the past for while.
Apocalypse Now, which I find torturously slow to sit through, picks up massively when he's on screen. His performance in Blue Velvet was intense and fantastic and really made that film for me.
ReplyDeleteBut my favourite role of his?
Speed. "Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?" Movie magic.
The greatest actor ever .
ReplyDeleteWell, that's what I think anyways .

Nice!
ReplyDeleteGood movies!
I'd have to say my favorite with him in it is The Texas chainsaw massacre 2. His performance in it is just hilariously awesome! That movie in general is one of my favorites! Man do I love Bill Moseley!
