What a shame he's got to go through all that on his deathbed.

terrible way for a counterculture icon to go.

The guy should have been dead 40 years ago - hes been living on borrowed time.

a quote from Hoppers own lips

“The alcohol was awful. I was a terrible alcoholic. I mean, people used to ask how much drugs I did. I said, ‘I only do drugs so I can drink more,’” recalls Hopper. “I was doing the coke so I could drink more. I mean, I don’t know any other reason. I’d start drinking in the morning. I’d drink all day long.”

You kids dont know nothing from sh-t.

Blue Velvet - what I think was his best portrayal - probably the one where he was most in his own skin. Also the one that introduced him to Wilmington, NC where he bought a building and lived briefly.

My favorite of his roles.

I usually don't get all choked up when a celebrity dies like a lot of people do, but when Hopper goes, I will be marginally upset.

Cool Hand Luke. Texas Chainsaw 2 FTW

I think he is from Greenville SC. I knew a guy who went to school with him. He was great in this interesting film about the Central America/US underground drug stuff.

Waterworld...not land

He used to own an art gallery next to the brewery in downtown Wilmington.
