Still alive.  From a couple days ago.  Not looking good.

Yeah, saw that the other day.  Pretty rough stuff.  I hope he pulls through, but it looks really bad.

Too bad. I always liked him in his various roles. Judging by that photo, I say he's got about a month to go.  :-\

I'm guessing this Sunday. Kinda fitting on Easter with the "hopper" reference as in bunny...

In any event, he was a great actor.

He always played the best bad guys in some of the worst movies. Super Mario Brothers, WaterWorld....

Who could forget that classic, Space Truckers?   ::)




Dennis Hopper has definitely had his share of stinkers.  But there are also some true classics. 

Apocalypse Now




Easy Rider





True Romance




Blue Velvet





With a film legacy like that Dennis Hopper is always going to be with us.

He also was pretty good in that movie about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode! I think it was called “The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down.”

I thought that was called "The Bus That Was In Desperate Need Of A Brake Job", but who knows?!?!  All of these new fangled movies...who can keep up with them?
