How sad is that? Guess I have some catching up to do, and sadly, this is as good a time as any to do it. I feel like I'm obligated to see "Easy Rider" now for it being such a 60's countercultural touchstone. I have the DVD to "Hoosiers" lying around somewhere, so there's that. Not sure I'm ready for "Blue Velvet" yet though.<br /><br />RIP Dennis Hopper.Doriannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-61710189596486046952010-06-01T03:08:32.326-04:002010-06-01T03:08:32.326-04:00One great film of his that isn't getting menti...One great film of his that isn't getting mentioned is <i>Red Rock West</i>.<br /><br />I remember reading an interview with him about when he heard about his Oscar nomination and he just assumed it was for <i>Blue Velvet</i> and then he was confused when his agent (or wife or whoever) told him it was for <i>Hoosiers</i> but that he was so happy for David Lynch's directing nomination.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-48992838143372634752010-05-31T06:27:42.648-04:002010-05-31T06:27:42.648-04:00R.I.P.

And he manages to quote poetry, spit out reams of pseudophilosophy, and make Kurtz out to be a mass-murdering equivalent of the Wizard of Oz.<br /><br />Well done, Dennis Hopper.

Thank you, Nathaniel.
Mr. Hopp...Wonderful tribute. Thank you, Nathaniel. <br />Mr. Hopper was truly a great artist. Not only a legendary actor, but a very talented photographer, painter, sculptor among other things. <br />Considering his talent and contributions he was very underrated. He never won an Oscar (shoud've had for his iconic role in Blue Velvet, but because of the Academy's rules wasn't even nominated for it), or Golden Globe, or Independent Spirit Award. Never got any prestiges Lifetime Achievement Awards later in his career and had to be terminal ill to finally get a Star on the Walk of Fame. <br />It doesn't matter really, what's important - his legacy and invaluable contributions to the world of art and for that we will be forever grateful.<br />Thank you, Mr. Hopper and good bye...Willnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-59359293380075522712010-05-30T14:23:18.157-04:002010-05-30T14:23:18.157-04:00RIP Dennis Hopper.
