RIP TORN POLL

Freddy Got Fingered robbed.

I read Geraldine Page as Geraldine Chaplin and was wondering what Carlos Saura thought about all this.

"This list is missing Heartland. He's the lead."

i love that movie. so good. hardly anyone has ever seen it though. i love payday too. i will trade in my vhs copy for a dvd copy. now that i know there is one.

Heard lots of good things about Payday.

Also missing from poll: Rip Torn vs. Dennis Hopper.

R.I.P. TORN CURTAIN

I believe the fight I am alluding to occurred at an earlier incarnation of Serendipity.

Mailer v. Torn

He really goes for him with that hammer, but it's surely Mailer who is doing the biting. It seems even better with the French substitles.

"Lache la marteau"

"Tu va arrêter ce taré"

Sorry, that should be "Tu va l'arrêter ce taré" - which makes more sense.

getting his own selective retro in NYC:

Rip Torn Busted for Allegedly Breaking Into Bank

Posted Jan 30th 2010 1:29PM by TMZ Staff

Rip Torn was arrested Friday night for allegedly breaking into a bank while drunk and armed with a loaded revolver.

State police responded to an alarm at the Litchfield Bancorp building in Salisbury, CT at 9:40 PM last night. Police say they found Torn "with a loaded revolver" and he was "highly intoxicated."

Law enforcement sources tell us Torn gained access through a broken window, which they believe Torn broke himself.

Torn was taken to the Troop B barracks in North Canaan and is being held on $100,000 bond.

Cops say Torn was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal trespass and third-degree criminal mischief.

According to the Register Citizen, he is scheduled to appear in court on February 1.

Rip has had previous alcohol-related arrests -- one of which yielded the greatest mug shot in the history of mankind.

people, see payday

Jeez, what a guy. When this was revived I assumed he must have died.

That'll be the RIP RIP TORN TORN thread.

Actor Rip Torn was arrested in December 2006 in Westchester, New York and charged with drunk driving after his 1995 Chevy Cavalier collided with a tractor-trailer as he attempted to make a turn. When state police arrived at the scene, the 75-year-old actor refused a Breathalyzer before being taken to a Somers police station where the below mug shot was snapped.

Meanwhile, only ONE vote for Payday on this poll? What the hell is wrong with you people?

watching payday tonight, never seen it before! stoked.

p.s. hi hatch.

I found a Payday lobby card at an antique mall a few weeks back. Only $3. Torn isn't on it though--it's one of the women.

I'm not gonna try to describe the Godard-abandoned Pennebaker semidocumentary 1 PM, but if you ever wanted to see Rip and Jean-Luc putting on an interactive-theatre piece in a Bushwick classroom circa 1970, here you go.

Why yes I think I do, thank you.

apparently it was '68.

yeow

amiri baraka & eldridge cleaver sections on vimeo/yt. must watch whole thing.

RIP

i am v sad about this one

One of the most gloriously unwieldy acting careers ever

I seem to vacillate every time I rewatch Larry Sanders on whether Artie or Hank is the greatest character of all time. I think I came down Artie this last time round.

I just loved seeing Torn in anything and everything. He had an unmatched energy, for sure.

It's not a problem because they're all the greatest in the greatest show of all time.

All of what you say is 100% otm.

yeah it's impossible to imagine the show without those three characters played by those three specific actors

it's a GESTALT maaaaan

on the New York stage (I saw him in The Young Man from Atlanta in '97):

I think Tambor is breaking in that heckling scene

that lazy bastard

Never realized that Artie was never given a surname--he's just Artie or Arthur on IMDB and Wikipedia.

He played a character named Artie once before, too, in a somewhat less reputable project:

You: We stan Rip Torn, the hero who hit Norman Mailer in the head with a hammer.

Torn’s absolute commitment to the role is not matched by Mailer’s, and the two-hander becomes a macho stand-off, ended by Torn when – to calm one of Mailer’s children who’s crying in fright – he says, “It was just a scene in your daddy’s Hollywood whorehouse movie.”

from the S+S obit.

hahahahahahaha

Watched Artie After Hours again at the weekend, and a bunch of other eps of Larry Sanders. That show was godhead.

Lol @ Hopper being sued by Torn for keeping up that stupid story.

Poll doesn't include several items. Definitely a few things to check out, not least to see how he constructed the Artie character.
