That is probably the reason for his heart attack. having to live with voting for Hussein could cause extreme illness.

So what you are saying is he is a liberal republican RINO.

Which in Hollywood is about the best you can ask for, and let's face it, it's not as if Obama's opponent was great shakes, anyway.

Wow man, that’s one heavy scene, Walkin is Certifiable, great scene (though I don’t like to watch movies with realistic violence in them).

I loved him in the movie Waterworld. He was always the crazy guy who made you laugh. Get well Dennis.

‘That link didn’t go to the clip you meant, I think.’

Hopper went off Hollywood's RADAR after Easy Rider went to his head (that and drugs). He had to work overseas for years because of his reputation.

During that time he acted for rent-money in one of my favorite films, Wim Wenders' "An American Friend" with Bruno Ganz. It was a retelling of Highsmith's "The Talented Mister Ripley" and in my opinion the best of the lot. See it if you can find a copy.

Well you do have a point about McCain, he is left of center and alot of his positions are not unlike Obama. But I didn’t like him either.

He was also in a Season five episode of “COMBAT!” on TV (about 1965). He played a jazz drummer with the USO who gets lost at the front and ends up in combat. He had that edge showing even then.

Hope Dennis pulls through. Fine actor (underutilized as a director). Per an acquaintance who worked with him, also a cool guy.

Sounds like it’s just the flu.

Or maybe he ran into Jack Bauer again.
