Good read. Maybe between him and Jerry Bruckheimer, "E-Ring" won't be the sorry joke "Over There" has been.

I don't think I have ever seen a more menacing character than his in "Blue Velvet".

Let it be pointed out that a guy comes off drugs and alcohol, sobers up, and realizes it's best to vote Republican.

Any time I think of Dennis Hopper (or David Lynch) I can't help but think of "Blue Velvet."

I wish I could remember what that movie was about... nothing, probably.

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.

The only other thing I can recall is Dennis Hopper hiding in the closet with a mask huffing nitrous or something. That's it... that's all I can remember about that dopey (?) movie.

I've seen the E-Ring pilot.

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

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."

I liked him best in David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" with Isabella Rossalini.
