    Dennis Hopper, complete legend.

    Kind of sad that he never scaled the heights he could have.

    RIP Dennis.

    He did fritter his talent away somewhat, but he still leaves a bigger footprint than most.
    "There are moments that I've had some real brilliance, you know," he reflected recently. "But I think they are moments. And sometimes, in a career, moments are enough."

    RIP!

    His character Frank Booth in Blue Velvet was both mesmerizing and utterly terrifying in equal measure.

    RIP one of the great actors brillant at playing villians


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Ah, well at least it wasn't a shock and he was around to to see his star put on the walk-of-fame recently.

    His career was all over the shop but he left a lasting presence in cinema and will be remembered for the good he did in the industry.

    RIP Hopper!

    Brilliant actor... no one could really portray the crazed maniac like D.H. Truly one of the giants of acting who never really got to the heights he deserved...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,485 ✭✭✭Mr. K


    He was also brilliant as the
    Bad Bad
    in the first season of 24.

    R.I.P.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,057 ✭✭✭Wacker


    A shame indeed. I'd seen recent photos of him; quite harrowing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 140 ✭✭hotspur147

    shame he's done some rubbish Space truckers and super mario brothers anyone:eek:

    sad to hear of his passing:(

    but you can't overlook his great performances in Rivers Edge, Blue Velvet, Hoosiers, true romance.

    also he directed Easy Rider, The Last movie(it needs to be given a Dvd release now) and colors.

    this is a great doc made during the editing of The last movie when Hopper was at his stoned best

    Why, he was good in Speed.

    He did something like 200 movies, I'd imagine Speed was in the top 10%


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,857 ✭✭✭Valmont


    I remember him fondly in Speed and Apocalypse Now. RIP.

    edit: How could I forget that scene in True Romance. I have it sitting beside me here for goodness sake!
