Frank Booth
aka
Dennis Hopper
"She wore blue velvet, Bluer than velvet was the night, Softer than satin was the light
From the stars" - Blue Velvet, Bobby Vinton
"Let's F#ck! I'll f#ck anything that moves!" - Frank Booth, Blue Velvet
Spotted this intense image of Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth straight outta the David Lynch classic Blue Velvet the other day and it brought back some, shall we say, interesting memories of seeing it when it first came out. I was in college in the Seattle area in case you were wondering.
I will tell you there had never been anything like it before, it caused a sensation in 1986. It seemed it was a love it/hate sort of proposition in terms of audience reaction. Critics on the other hand overall loved it.
One thing is also certain, you'd never seen anything like Dennis Hoper's portrayal of evil incarnate Frank Booth. He was one of the most disturbing and scary one man freak shows to ever grace the big screen.
Thus today we are going to have a Hump Day & Chill celebration of the late Dennis Hopper and the role he played that was a revelation of modern cinema, I'm going to find out where I can see Blue Velvet online TTFN and Hump Day & Chill Minions!!!
