FARE THEE WELL, DENNIS HOPPER: Suspect most people my age remember him as a really great scenery-chewing villain. The moments where Waterworld was watchable were all his doing. And of course he did That Scene in True Romance with Christopher Walken.

(He also directed The Hot Spot, which my late-teenage self remembers for featuring a naked Jennifer Connelly. And my contemporary self too, come to think of it.)
