Dennis Hopper...

dennis hopper passed away yesterday... :'(
i always thought he was a badass! and..apparently he WAS !
i only knew him in just a handful of movies--always playing the villain.
but upon reading about him, he was..quite the difficult, badass kinda guy...
here are some of his movies i've seen:

so he's probably best known for Easy Rider. i, myself, have never seen this movie. but i hear about it all the time. and my mother owns this movie (being a motorcycle movie i guess)
i may check it out...
interesting fact i learned, he was like..james dean's protege at the time! wowa!


texas chainsaw massacre 2--who knew?!
alex was a huge horror/thriller/slasher film fan. he showed me texas chainsaw massacre 2 one day and..wowa! is that dennis hopper?? yep, he plays a cop who finds the hideout of the leatherface family..hidden under an old run-down carnival.
the best scene? when he's running and killing with 2 chainsaws on him--with the cowboy hat on!
Pure epicness...♥

omg, another awesome movie!
written by quentin tarantino♥
huge cast... hopper played christian slater's pop-pop.
one of the best scenes throughout the whole movie is when christopher walken is interrogating dennis hopper in his little trailer... this scene is full of dialogue and runs for a good amount of time...

now who hasn't seen SPEED??
i think this was the first movie i actually saw with hopper in it.
playing the bad guy, of course.
speed is a total guilty pleasure movie..i could still watch it now..
keanu was hot ! someday, if my bus gets hijacked and rigged like this...i hope for a keanu-like cop to help me drive it♥

land of the dead...romero's zombie movie that came out recently.
hopper played the big-shot guy....who turns bad...i think..
i can't remember O_o

i'll probably have a true romance night...
of all the movies i've seen with him, that'd be my favorite..
but he's left us with many many great movies that i've yet to see..
rip Dennis Hopper...

corey haim....

anyone who grew up in the 80's were shocked to find out that
corey haim had passed this morning...
yes, we all know he battled drug addiction prety much his whole life...
he's been in and out of rehab his whole life...
drugs were pretty much all he did...his whole life.. and unfortunately it's come to an end :'(
he was only 38 years old
'lost boys' is one of my favorite movies of all time♥ definitely one of the best vampire movies for me♥ (sorry erika, but it kicks Twilight's butt) the 2 corey's (corey haim and corey feldman) were the faces, icons of the teen hearthrobs in the 80's♥
but after a couple great movies in the 80's, they disappeared... they got sucked into the whole child stars gone drug addicts :(
feldman managed his way out.. he got married, got sober..but his film career never returned.
corey haim, well..he just totally disappeared and went drug crazy...
they reprised television with the show "the 2 coreys" but apparently that didn't work out too well due to Haim's drug addiction..yea! it even ruined his comeback...
well i'm sad... i hope he's in a better place and i will watch "lost boys" tonight in memory of him..
rip corey haim

alexander mcqueen....

british fashion designer alexander mcqueen passed away on february 11...
i didn't know his fashion very well until i discovered lady gaga...
like lady gaga, alexander is very unique and has a very 'out there' style...
well, actually it's the other way around..like alexander mcqueen, lady gaga is very unique♥
she mentioned in many interviews that mcqueen's fashion is something she inspires..adores...
and i can see that!
his fashion is more of an art than wearable on the streets♥
the most 印象的design from his are these shoes: see below!

yea! aren't they crazy?! i love them! i noticed them in lady gaga's music video and thought it was something she designed...but it was by alexander mcqueen♥
i believe they are called "python heels"
i'd like to try one on...see if i can even walk 2 ft..! O_o

see! here's gaga in her 'bad romance' video with the python heels...so RAD!

but anywho, i wished to see more unique fashion coming from mcqueen...
and with lady gaga on the rise, i think things would've gotten really interesting had he still been around :(
rip alexander mcqueen

rollin' with the homies....

shocking...sad....
brittany murphy passed away yesterday from heart failure....
only 32 years old...
:(
i adored her and was very fond of her bubbly personality♥
and hey, we were both scorpios...!
here are some of my favorite brittany murphy movies....lots of memories!

CLUELESS

yes! of course! "CLUELESS" my all time favorite high school / teen movie♥
it really IS a classic now
brittany murphy's character (Tai) left such an impression on me...
i adore her!! "rollin' with tha homies~♫"
i think i'll be watching CLUELESS in the next few days in memory of BM

GIRL, INTERRUPTED
she played a smaller role in this movie but still plays a great character nonetheless...
Daisy was such an intense character....
i would watch this movie but...with what happens to Daisy it's quite depressing and
wouldn't be appropriate :( i don't think i'll be able to watch this one for a while..

SPUN
this movie was more like an indie-type movie...
a movie about drugs from start to end, meth to be exact.
brittany and her pet chihuahua :)
surprising lotsa great actors in the film and rather than the story / acting / plot, i enjoyed the
editing and cinematography in this film. i believe i read somewhere this movie has the most cuts ever in a film, something like 5000+ cuts... i mean, it's a meth movie..it only makes sense right?

8 mile
with eminem...she plays his love interest...
i was iffy at first..."eminem? acting? serious role? AS IF!"
but he surprised me with his acting...and the story was quite good...
brittany's role caught critics attention in this one as well...

SIN CITY
everyone was looking forward to this movie...the previews looked super cool with
it's black and white graphics... and again, brittany was just one of numerous actors in this one..
she played a rather small part here too...

gone too soon :'(
rip Brittany Murphy...

she's like the wind....

that's the song patrick swayze co-wrote for dirty dancing...probably my favorite movie by him♥

patrick swayze passed away on 9-14-2009....

i believe he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer...

this post is for patrick swayze and i'd like to reminisce on some of his movies/my favorite movies

ok, what girl doesn't like "dirty dancing"?!? NO GIRL! every girl loves this movie...every girl wants to be Baby. Every girl wants that boy to repeat the phrase "nobody puts (Baby) or your name in the corner". And every good girl wants to fall in love with that bad/rebellious boy--but in this case, he can also dance ! BOO-YA! one of my favorite 80's classic...also holds one of the best movie soundtrack (and did i mention he sang/co-wrote "she's like the wind"?) This is one of those movies i could watch repeatedly...til i get really old☺

omg....one of my favorite "otona" movies of all time... "ghost"♥♥

i remember living in japan as a kid when this movie came out...and it was crazy popular ! Japan was all hyped about this movie...i remember it being so popular, Japanese women everywhere started cutting their hair like Demi Moore's hair...the boy/pixie cut. (Japanese ppl always seem to think that if they cut their hair just like a movie star that they will look just like them. ummm...that's is absolutely not true ! but...they can hope right? it's entertaining for me anyways...because it makes me realize how bad most people look, trying so hard.. i mean, for goodness sake...)

anyways, ghost is a movie i could still watch again and again, but not too often.. because i get very emotional. a definite tear jerker. and an ultimate love story♥♥

NEWS FLASH::Jamus just agreed to watching "ghost" with me...!!! he's never seen it. and that's a big deal!

ok, now for "point break"... i know soooo many people who find this movie suuuuper cheesy. and i have to agree, it is...but do you know what makes it super cheesy? not patrick swayze--not the story--not the script--it's keanu reeves !!! yea he's looking good in this movie with his surfer body and young good looks but my god.... the man cannot act ! but set that aside and you have an awesome bank robbing heist♥ and they wear these cool old presidents masks !! patrick is the alpha dog:) and did i mention lori petty is in it too?? she is super cute in the movie.

and of course...i cannot finish this post without mentioning patrick swayze in "donnie darko". what an awesome part !!! the first time i saw donnie darko, i didn't even know he was going to be in it. it came as a total surprise...don't wanna ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen the movie so i'll stop here but...if you haven't seen it yet (and my god, if you haven't seen it...where have you been this whole time?!) go see it♥ it's become a cult classic since.

he's left many great movies behind...

peace the spork out to patrick swayze.

king of pop...michael jackson...

the king of pop-- michael jackson passed away today in southern california...... he was 50...

i am absolutely speechless.... erika called me up at work and told me. it's one of those "what?! yea right ! seriously?!?"....

i liked the guy...yea he got weird the last few years but he's such an icon...such an influential artist...i seriously doubt anyone else could do what he did to the music world... my mom was a huge MJ fan in the 80's and i was an 80's kid..so erika and i basically grew up listening to his music. i'm still awed by his performances and music videos! feels like an end of an era....

i am still shocked and don't know what else to write... he's been through so much in the last few years... i just hope he finally gets his peace...

r.i.p...michael jackson
