    RIP Mr. Hopper
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Don't forget True Romance. The scene with Hopper and Christopher Walken is classic. EZ Rider is one of my all time favorites.

    This is sad...

    Thanks for bringing up True Romance.

    This is a sad Memorial Weekend with Gary too.

    I've heard it comes in threes. I hope not.

    He's an OK actor and certainly shined in a supporting role more than "leading role"....it happens, cheers.

    True, he never made the shining star role. Not sure if he wanted it, or didn't get it, or didn't care.

    He was oddly weird, and I liked him.

    Truly one of a kind, a fantastic actor, photographer and sculptor. RIP Dennis, you deserve it.

    I remember Art Linkletter from when I was a small child! He must have been 100 years. RIP Art, you provided me with some fine entertainment.

    EDIT, I was close, he was 97! Geez he survived three of his children.
