What a shame, great actor.

Never cared much for him as an actor (and as a person he didn't seem like a very nice guy either), but obviously always sad to see someone die of this terrible disease.

He was ace in Blue Velvet.

And Apocalypse Now.

And 24.

He was. Very creepy.

I only saw the sniffing scene in Blue Velvet, but TBH, I thought he was overacting a bit. Outrageous OTT roles seem to get a lot of credit usually, but personally I never really cared for these, as often they seem 'more easy' to play than the roles which convey true emotion and all that.

He's in 24? Which season? I'm watching S1 at the moment. It's bloody good.

You're so far behind. You'll find out.

I havent seen S5 yet (all of it).

Few could do OTT as well as Hopper though, he will be missed. His wonderfully bonkers performance in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 pretty much single-handedly rescues the film for me.

I know

. I won't though. I've no plans to watch patch Series 1, maybe Series 2. There's no American TV shows I watch religiously.

I've had Series 1 for years, watched the first 3 episodes ages ago and have just come back to it.

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 31 May 2010, 11:00

Erm, you will find out. Why would you not want to watch past season 1?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 01 Jun 2010, 15:27

I don't get into TV shows religiously, especially yanks one, they're so long. I just cannot see myself buying 8 box sets. There's also the high cost too. I'll probably buy series 2 though.

Most TV shows follow a formula also, so once I've seen 1-2 series, I get the idea. It is bloody good though. I've also got a couple of other TV shows to watch, already bought. Like Twin Peaks, which I've not seen for years.

You could get seasons 1-6 for £5 each a while back (and still can if you look about)

if thats to high, you stick to overpriced Blu Rays.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 01 Jun 2010, 23:53

How come, you only ever post bargains, after the deal is over? I wonder why . . .

I'd never buy 6 seasons, even if they were a quid each. It's taken me this long to watch series 1

(and I've only managed 5 episodes so far of that).

Perfect time to really get into 24. Trust me, if you watch to the end of season 2, you won't want to stop there.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 Jun 2010, 10:05

Thanks. That is a fantastic price. What season is considered the last great 24 season?

What are you on about

as Iron Monkey just showed you they are still 5 quid, like I said! you are a moron and still wont go for it, we all know you love paying more than anyone else on the net.

All of them, not one season so far has been anything but amazing TV

put down you remote and get season 1 watched in a weekend, you know you should

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 02 Jun 2010, 19:30

I'm with romerojpg on this, in my opinion not one of them is bad. Season 6 wasn't quite up to the standard of the rest but even so, it was still better than anything else on TV. Season 7 was awesome, and Season 8 has just finished with a bang. Why waste your time watching one or two seasons of multiple shows? Watch it all.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 02 Jun 2010, 19:45

and Hopper is in it (along with countless other major stars who come and go).

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 Jun 2010, 21:44

Thanks. I'd be surprised if they can keep a show "great" for 6-7 seasons .That's almost unheard of but fair enough.

You're not Iron Monkey. My question was solely directed towards you.

Learn to search the net yourself, you rely on everyone else to do all the hard work for you.

Hardly. It's just fair, if you come across a bargain you let others know. Salty does it, I've done it, you don't. Simple.

I frankly wouldn't mind but it pisses people off, you constantly gloat after the deal is over. What's the point then?
