In the next ten years he made a name in television, and by the end of the 1960s had appeared in several films. Hopper also began a prolific and acclaimed photography career in the 1960s. Hopper made his directorial film debut with" Easy Rider"( 1969), which he and co-star Peter Fonda wrote with Terry Southern. The film earned Hopper a Cannes Film Festival Award for" Best First Work" and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay( shared with Fonda and Southern). Journalist Ann Hornaday wrote:" With its portrait of counterculture heroes raising their middle fingers to the uptight middle- class hypocrisies," Easy Rider" became the cinematic symbol of the 1960s, a celluloid anthem to freedom, macho bravado and anti-establishment rebellion". Film critic Matthew Hays wrote" no other persona better signifies the lost idealism of the 1960s than that of Dennis Hopper". He worked on various small projects until he found new fame for his role as the American photojournalist in" Apocalypse Now"( 1979). He went on to helm his third directorial work" Out of the Blue"( 1980), for which he was again honored at Cannes, and appeared in" Rumble Fish"( 1983) and" The Osterman Weekend"( 1983). Dennis Lee Hopper( May 17, 1936 – May 29, 2010) was an American actor, filmmaker, photographer, and artist. He saw a career resurgence in 1986 when he was widely acclaimed for his performances in" Blue Velvet" and" Hoosiers", the latter of which saw him nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. His fourth directorial outing came about through" Colors"( 1988), followed by an Emmy- nominated lead performance in" Paris Trout"( 1991). Hopper found greater fame for portraying the villains of the films" Super Mario Bros."( 1993)," Speed"( 1994) and" Waterworld"( 1995). Hopper's later work included a leading role in the short- lived television series" Crash"( 2008 – 2009), inspired by the film of the same name. He appeared in three films released posthumously:" Alpha and Omega"( 2010)," The Last Film Festival"( 2016) and the long- delayed" The Other Side of the Wind"( 2018), which had been filmed in the early 1970s. <SEP> Tic Tac is a Swedish thriller film which was released to cinemas in Sweden on 31 October 1997, directed by Daniel Alfredson and written by Hans Renhäll, about various people involved in small crime during one day and night in Stockholm. The film won the Guldbagge Award for best film and was Sweden's submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but failed to be nominated. Some critics have called the film" a Swedish" Pulp Fiction. <SEP> Notakto is a tic- tac- toe variant, also known as neutral or impartial tic- tac- toe. The game is a combination of the games tic- tac- toe and Nim, played across one or several boards with both of the players playing the same piece( an" X" or cross). The game ends when all the boards contain a three- in- a- row of Xs, at which point the player to have made the last move loses the game. However, in this game, unlike tic- tac- toe, there will always be a player who wins any game of Notakto. Notakto is an impartial game, where the allowable moves depend only on the state of the game and not on which player is taking their turn. When played across multiple boards it is a disjunctive game. The game is attributed to professor and backgammon player Bob Koca, who is said to have invented the game in 2010, when his five- year- old nephew suggested playing a game of tic- tac- toe with both players as" X". <SEP> It is about a pair of United States Navy shore patrollers( SPs)( Tom Berenger and William McNamara) who must escort a beautiful prisoner( Erika Eleniak), and the troubles they encounter. Chasers is a 1994 American comedy film directed by Dennis Hopper. <SEP> Tic Tac( stylized as" tic tac") is a brand of small, hard mints manufactured by the Italian company Ferrero. They were first produced in 1968 and are now available in a variety of flavours in over 100 countries. Tic Tac are usually sold in small transparent plastic boxes with a flip- action living hinge lid. Originally, Tic Tac were dyed specific colours for different flavours, although in many countries the transparent plastic boxes are now coloured and the actual Tic Tacs are white. Tic Tac has featured advertising that emphasizes the low calorie count of the mints. Most flavours of the mint have approximately 1.9 calories per mint. There is also some controversy over the fact that in the United States, tic tac list the sugar content as 0g despite the mints being approximately 90% sugar( depending on the flavor). This stems from the fact that a serving size is one 0.49g mint, and the FDA permits manufacturers to list sugar( or other nutritional components) as 0g if they contain less than 0.5g. In at least some jurisdictions, the 0g now features a footnote that clarifies" less than 0.5 g".
