I've seen the E-Ring pilot.

Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed.

I can recall the opening scene. It was a shot of super green grass and super blue sky with a super red fire truck slowly driving by. Water sprinkler slow-motion sparying the yard.

Then it gets hazy.

Pans down to close-up of grass and earth and ants with amplified sound as they crawl on a human ear that has been separated from its former owner.

My favorite role of Hopper's was as Cliff Worley in "True Romance". No one who has ever seen the 'Sicilian History Lesson Speech' scene between him and Christopher Walken will ever forget it!

Clifford Worley: You're Sicilian, huh?

Coccotti: Yeah, Sicilian.

Wasn't he in the movie True Romance? He had some hysterical lines in that flick.

Fantastic in "Hoosiers" too.

Good to see him come around!

BTW, Robert Mitchum told his girl friend, upon getting his first Hollywood role, - "Stick with me baby and you'll be F*rting thru silk!".

I love romantics.

"I haven't had a drink or hard narcotics in 21 years."

Notice that he didn't say anything about marijuana, only alcohol and "hard narcotics."

From Speed:

Keannu: "You're crazy."

Dennis: "Crazy? No, Jack, poor people are crazy." (holds up bags of ransom money) "I'm eccentric."

Another Mitchum story. He was busted for marijuana possession in the 40s and had to serve a month or two of time. When asked what jail was like he replied 'just like Palm Springs, but with a better class of people'.

Both Walken and Hopper are awesome in that scene! One of the best in cinematic history, IMO. I'm checking IMDB now to see if and when they have been paired in other movies...
