Liked his work (most of it). Seemed like he'd be a great guy to hang out and have a few beers (or smoke something) with.

A long time ago I read about how Hopper had stolen the idea for Easy Rider. Anyway, rest in peace.

My Hopper story is how David Lynch originally wrote the Frank Booth character as carrying around a tank of helium. Hopper talked to Lynch about it, and citing personal knowledge, suggested nitrous would make more sense. Lynch agreed.

In hindsight, Hopper said that was a big mistake. It would have been way scarier to have had Booth inhaling helium.

That blows. That guy was pretty cool. I liked how the Gorillaz got him in the last album, with the island of monkey. He seemed to always do weird, interesting, off the wall shit.

And this completes the trilogy of deaths. Linkletter, Coleman, and now DH.

Thanks to your post I watched Blue Velvet this afternoon.

But it was hard for me to tell just what Frank was huffing.
