OT: Dennis Hopper Rides Easy Into Sunset, was 74
Dennis Hopper, whose portrayals of drug-addled, often deranged misfits in the landmark films “Easy Rider,” “Apocalypse Now” and “Blue Velvet” drew on his early out-of-control experiences as part of a new generation of Hollywood rebel, died at his home in Venice, Calif., on Saturday, The Associated Press reported. He was 74.

My condolences to the Hopper family...
Bad things come in threes: Coleman, Hopper, and ???
simon monjack?
and the crazy ass photog from Apocalypse Now...
Between him and Gary Coleman I'm running out of role models.
Victor Drayzen goes off on Jack Bauer
River's Edge was one of my favorite movies.
Hallow's Eve and Slayer were on the soundtrack, it was great.
Rest in peace Mr. Hopper, I'll be sure to drink a stiff one for Shooter this evening.
Thank you for posting this. I forgot about these commercials featuring Dennis Hopper. I love the one about Junior Seau. Good stuff. I know that most people will remember Mr. Hopper as Shooter Flatch and the villain in Speed, but he had a long and amazing career. R.I.P Mr. Hopper.
He was in "Rebel Without a Cause" and "Giant" with James Dean and "The Sons of Katie Elder" with Deano and the Duke as a young actor. Really changed the course of American cinema (life?) by starring, directing, and co-writing "Easy Rider." Great roles in "Hoosiers" and "Apocalypse Now." Seems like he had a lot of fun along the way too.
RIP.
Dennis Hopper rules. Heaven's cash bar better stock the fuck up
Top shelf, open bar and...
RIP Dennis Hopper.
It's kind of a crappy movie...but the scene with Christopher Walken AND Hopper in True Romance has to go down as one of the great scene-chewing moments in cinema history.
whenever I hear the word "eggplant", I think of this scene.
Knew this was coming for a while but it is truly a loss. Dennis Hopper was a true original in so many ways.
...as Frank Booth in Blue Velvet.
It was hard to buy him as the Ameriprise pitchman.
A great actor gone, another great loss.
Thanks for your work, Dennis - you will be remembered well.
Dying?!? FUCK THAT SHIT!!! PABST BLUE RIBBON!!!
RE Easy Rider......Great cast! Jack, Peter, Dennis, and
