Wow. What a filmography. I had no idea how prolific his body of work was.

I saw Jesus' Son again recently and noticed how Hopper could have played the character bigger and stolen the movie despite the small part, but instead played it with subtlety instead. A great movie and a great actor.

Some absolutely brilliant acting in an otherwise mediocre film.

He will me missed. RIP D.H.

Totally agree 100% with this statement except for the part about "mediocre film."

I was thinking of going out and drinking a sophisticated micro-brew tonight, but now... FUCK THAT SHIT! PABST BLUE RIBBON!

I enjoyed True Romance, but I think it's pretty uneven overall, especially in comparison to the films Tarantino's directed. That particular scene, though, is a standout.

That book is by one of my favorite authors, and it's one of his best. You should check it out if you liked the movie (if you haven't already).

It's not really a conventional novel. More like a series of interludes in a non-cohesive whole. It reads like a very short book of short stories.

I have read it and it is very good. The movie is one of those great movies that most people have never seen.

I've never gotten around to it myself none either.

Dude, it has Billy Crudup.

Slash has paid his respects to Hollywood star Dennis Hopper who died this morning (May 29) aged 74, after battling prostate cancer.

The ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist paid tribute to the legendary film star, who was best known for his famous roles in Easy Rider, Apocalypse Now and Blue Velvet, on his Twitter page.

He wrote: "You take the great ones for granted until they're gone. RIP Dennis Hopper."

Hopper was surrounded by friends and family at his home in the Los Angeles beach community of Venice.

His manager announced in October 2009 that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

He was last seen in public in March when he was honoured with a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.

Bloc Party and Friendly Fires producer Paul Epworth also offered his respects, tweeting: "Very sad to post RIP Dennis Hopper... Thanks for the characters you created, especially 'mad frank'. Your genius will be missed..."

"What are they gonna say about him? What are they gonna say? That he was a kind man? That he was a wise man? that he was a fireman?"
RIP Denis Hopper.
