Daddy's coming home.. Mommy loves you.

I like most of Dennis' roles, but in some cases his comments are hypocritical. I still need to check out him talking about Elvis, but I didn't like the way he talked about James Dean.

Thanks anyway!

I can't seem to download this link for some reason. I remember the interview that they did with Hopper for the Elvis Lives special, and how what he said coincided beautifully with the clips they used for that show.

On that front though I'm big into him as well and even so far I do the Dean festival every year in Indiana and its pretty well known that Dean was hard to deal with at times, and on the set he'd pick at people to try and get responses out of them . So maybe he targeted Hopper (who I have no use for) at one point and he's still annoyed by it or was when he made those comments you speak of . I've often wondered how he (Dean) would have gotten along with Elvis given that He did sometimes have a very antagonistic on set personality.
