Dennis Hopper, 1936-2010
Dennis Hopper passes away. Not only one of the coolest actors to ever live, but certainly a huge inspiration to me in any of the villainous roles I've played in the past. Hardly anyone could do it like Hopper, or as entertaining. He's one of the greats. I'm not any good at blog eulogizing, I always feel a little weird about it, since in regards to celebrities, I don't know them personally, but I can say, Dennis Hopper was one of the best at scaring me, making me laugh, and making me feel rightfully uneasy, which he could do all at the same time in a single role. "No Raymond, I want you to fuck it! Shit yeah, pour the fucking beer!"
RIP YOU MAGNIFICENT FUCKER!!

Holy crap I had no idea he passed. It's a real shame since he was a great actor and had one hell of a recognizable voice.
I remember hearing a song by the Gorillaz called "Fire Out of a Monkeys Head" and heard a voice just narrating a tale along the to music and just instantly thinking "God that's Dennis Hopper isn't it?". I looked in the credits and sure enough yeah that was him.
Guys voice alone had some delivery and impact, and his prescience on screen was phenomenal. You never really knew what was going through the mind of his character. He will be missed.
R.I.P Dennis

I was just looking today into David Lynche's filmography and saw Blue Velvet and remembered what a sad, twisted and fascinating movie that was brought to an even bigger standard than Dennis Hopper. You'll be missed but forever remembered.

Dennis Hopper literally changed cinema.
With the success of EASY RIDER the ailing studio system finally gave up control of their productions to a new breed of young, hungry film-makers, which results in a decade of some of the greatest movies ever made.

Amazing to the max playing crazy characters all with a different kind of crazy.
May your new adventure be even more glorious and longer then this one Mr.Hopper.

Pure sadness he was a true great and legend. Funny that one of the last moments he left on me was in the Super Mario Brothers movie as King Koopa. Hell now Mario wont even be the same.
RIP you will truly be missed.

Watching my copy of "Apocalypse Now: Redux" before the hockey game tonight. Rest in Peace, you mad genius!

Such sad news...he was an immense talent and truly one of the best, ever.
Hollywood just lost one of their Aces..RIP.
Now I'm off to watch True Romance in remembrance.

Damn, what a shame! He was awesome as Babalugats and The Prophet. One of the all-time greats..R.I.P.

Blue Velvet and True Romance are arguably (possibly) his best pieces of film. Great actor and he will be missed but he already wasn't really acting anymore so I will still see him in his good movies (and laugh at the bad ones too). RIP

Still a bit shocked by this, one of the most recognizable faces and voices in all of film too.

Dennis Hopper RIP.
Though he appeared in much better films
and gave much better performances, I would like to see him honoured with a 21 chainsaw salute for TCM2.

Truly a dark day for cinema and the world. It's always sad when the world gets a little less weird, tonight I think I may break out my big box copy of Tracks and enjoy the brilliant weirdness.

Dennis Hopper will be missed. I always enjoyed Hopper, even in movies that were not that good (Mario Bros.). Hopper also did an awesome directing job with easy rider. I read about how some of the effects during the LSD trip were because of an accident with the film. R.I.P. mr. hopper.

Cut, paste, and enjoy.

Out of the Blue is one my favorite movies of all time. I like to think Hopper has no idea when the camera is on and just naturally acted that way throughout the whole shoot.

Many people will remember Dennis Hopper for Easy Rider and Blue Velvet. While his performance in Blue Velvet was memorable, I'll always remember him as Mr. Roberts; the hippie school teacher in the underrated My Science Project.
The world has lost a true legend. RIP Mr. Hopper.

RIP Mr. Hopper and God be with his family.
Seriously, this man was a legend: rode with Captain America, battled Leatherface, sucked up helium like nobody's business, and was the first to take on Jack Bauer among his other achievements. A major loss.

He will be missed, Blue Velvet is one of my favorite films of all time, and that's mostly because of Hopper.

I really don't now any thing thing about Dennis Hopper. I have seen him in Land of the dead and he did a god jobb in that Movie, but aside from that i don't think i have seen any of his best movies. Do any of you have a suggestion of what movies i should watch that Hopper has been in????
RIP Dennis Hopper and

oh shit Sorry for the bad english

I would start with Blue Velvet or Easy Rider. Maybe Texas Cahinsaw Massacre 2, if you're more into horror movies. He was very good in Apocalypse Now, but doesn't appear until about the last third.

I just remembered an episode of the Twilight Zone (1963) with Hopper in it that I saw a few years back. He was stunning in it and it really shows the young Hopper's talents and possibilities. The episode was called "He's Alive"
Reply to this
holy crap i remember that one! one of my favorite TZ episodes, it took me a while to realize it was him.
Reply to this
Haha! Remember Super mario Bros the movie!....in all fairness,he´s the only one who cpuld play King Koopa!
Reply to this
he was best King Koopa !

This is sweet. It's sincere, unlike so many of the facebook statuses I've seen from people who haven't seen any of his films, just jumping on the bandwagon.
He's one of my favorite actors in some of my favorite films, especially Blue Velvet. It really bothered me hearing that he was dying such a slow and painful death, and I'm glad he's free of that pain now.
He could be in the worst film and make it entertaining! He was even a fantastic photographer. I'll miss seeing him on the screen.

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, Speed is a movie you don't turn off when you come across it on cable. And it's reached that status for one reason - Dennis fucking Hopper.
Reply to this
I remember the first time i saw him when i was young was in "Flashback." The movie wasnt the greatest, but i alwasys remembered how great he was in it. He was great in everything. A few years ago i saw him in the documentary "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls" and i got to see what the real Dennis Hopper was like. If you havent seen it, i highly recommend it. If you can find a clip, i think you should see it.

"Here's to your health Frank."
"Nah shit, let's drink to something else..."
Seeing clips of Frank Booth out of context really doesn't do his character justice, because you really need to see him in the environment of the rest of the movie to understand just how batshit insane he really is and how terrifying it makes him. It really is a sad state of affairs that Hopper is dead because the world will never again truly see his like. He was such a unique personality and brought an intensity to his roles that could never be matched by anyone else. RIP Dennis, you will be missed...
Reply to this
yeah,
The terrifying thing about Frank booth is that he has a huge amount of melancholy. mixed with his insanity and that gives the character a sense of reality. In lots of the scenes you can almost feel him struggling to contain his emotions. Hopper was one of the true greats and was also one of the first of the Counter-Culture actors. Every seems to forget that he's in Rebel Without a Cause.

We will always remember the day he spoke the words "Bo-Bomb..." and "Monkey!"

Well we still have Rutger Hauer. The other classic movie psycho.

He was a great actor, he talked David Lynch into hiring him for Blue Velvet because "I am Frank Booth" as he stated himself. RIP Dennis.

I guess my two favorite Hopper roles were 1) his spectacular role in "True Romance," and 2) the small role he had in "True Grit" with John Wayne, where his partner gets really pissed, chops off his fingers, and then stabs him in the chest. The funny thing is that, despite Hopper getting his fingers chopped off, that movie received a G rating from the MPAA. But I think the only thing I ever saw Hopper in that I dislike was his role in "Land of the Dead." I thought Romero pissed away his potential in that film.

I was sad to hear he passed. He was one of my favorite actors and he is absoultely haunting in Blue velvet. Creeps me out every time.
My buddy told me Dennis never said no to a roll, and thats why hes in so many bad movies in the 90s. Dunno if its true or not
