Definitely a legend. He has so many different career paths (studio player in the sixties, auteur in the seventies, weirdo character actor in the eighties, villian in the nineties and everyman of the aughts) he's left a mark on so many different facets and corners of the cinema. He put up a good fight, and let's be honest, considering all the drugs he put in his body over the years, 74 is a pretty damn good age to go. Rest in peace, easy rider!

We just lost a legend. As far as I'm concerned, Hopper will always live on as Frank Booth from Blue Velvet. Also thought he was especially awesome in Apocalypse Now, Texas Chain Saw Massacre 2, and True Romance. I really enjoyed him in Land of the Dead as well. Rest in peace.
 Enjoy that Pabst Blue Ribbon, Frank!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snhiofL2Rh4 |

He seemed somehow ageless for the longest time.
I would like to acknowledge his many directorial efforts. I love Easy Rider, The Hot Spot and Colors in particular. Hell, I even liked Chasers. He will be missed for sure. |

This is truly sad news. I am thankful that he was at least fortunate to live a full and colorful life.

Sad News. For me, Dennis Hopper's performance in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 is one of his best!! I also loved his Movie The Hot Spot, which he directed, with Don Johnson, and Virginia Madsen.
It's Sad to hear about so many deaths though, I just read about Gary Coleman last night and now this afternoon I find about Dennis Hopper. RIP Dennis. |
