Good read. Maybe between him and Jerry Bruckheimer, "E-Ring" won't be the sorry joke "Over There" has been.

I knew I started liking him recently for some reason or another....

I don't think I have ever seen a more menacing character than his in "Blue Velvet".

Still don't know if I can forgive him for being in "Waterworld".

Let it be pointed out that a guy comes off drugs and alcohol, sobers up, and realizes it's best to vote Republican.

Yep, you're right. Though some of us don't need to be old to obtain wisdom... :-)

Dennis Hopper votes Republican... groovy.

Any time I think of Dennis Hopper (or David Lynch) I can't help but think of "Blue Velvet."
I wish I could remember what that movie was about... nothing, probably.
I can recall the opening scene. It was a shot of super green grass and super blue sky with a super red fire truck slowly driving by. Water sprinkler slow-motion sparying the yard.
Then it gets hazy.
The only other thing I can recall is Dennis Hopper hiding in the closet with a mask huffing nitrous or something. That's it... that's all I can remember about that dopey (?) movie.

I don't think I have ever seen a more menacing character than his in "Blue Velvet". "Mommy... mommy... mommy."
Yeah... that was a pretty out-there role.

I wasn't aware he was in Cape Fear. Wasn't that Dinero?
To: dighton
Robert Mitchum was the best there ever was imo. I still think Hopper's character gave off a more malevolent air.
I once heard on a Paul Harvey radio show that Mitchum was nervous making the movie because he had actually in real life escaped from a chain gang in Savannah as a youth, and that is where they filmed the movie.
BTW, Hopper was born in Dodge City, KS.
