The Best Part of One of my Favorite Movies of 2009

Mr. Fox: [in a cellar with many of the other animal characters] Allright, let's start planning. Who knows shorthand?

[Linda raises her hand]

Mr. Fox: Great! Linda! Lutra lutra - you got some dry paper?

[she holds up some paper]

Mr. Fox: Here we go. Mole! Talpa europea! What d'you got?

Mole: I can see in the dark.

Mr. Fox: That's incredible! We can use that! Linda?

Linda Otter: Got it.

Mr. Fox: Rabbit! Oryctolagus cuniculus!

Rabbit: I'm fast.

Mr. Fox: You bet you are. Linda?

Linda Otter: Got it.

Mr. Fox: Beaver! Castor fiber!

Beaver: I can chew through wood.

Mr. Fox: Amazing! Linda!

Linda Otter: Got it.

Mr. Fox: Badger! Meles meles!

Badger: Demolitions expert.

Mr. Fox: What? Since when?

R.I.P. Dennis

Somewhere in New Mexico

 

I don't know much about Dennis Hopper other than I've enjoyed the characters he created on-screen. His creative masterpiece is probably Easy Rider (just learned there is a new version coming out which I think should be against the law) where he directed, acted, and edited the film. I also know that Mr. Hopper was fond of New Mexico. That's cool too. 

One of more disturbing and memorable characters, Frank in Blue Velvet. (Dean Stockwell is good in this scene as well.)

R.I.P. Dennis!
