Rip Torn RIP

He did a hilarious Robert Shaw/Jaws knockoff in "Summer Rental".

 

I forgot he was in that! What a funny role.

 

On Saturday we watched Summer Rental. R.I.P.

 

R.I.P. Rip

 

No Freddie Got Fingered love? RIP Rip

 

"Sweet Bird of Youth" = first time he got my attention and I was a kid. I enjoyed his characters over the years....

 

Yes, wife absolutely loved him in that. She doesn't know he died. I somehow missed it until I saw this thread. I've got to tell her, she's gonna be sad. As for me, Dodgeball!

 

A fellow Ticket Head I see

 

Not a very good movie, but holy crap, he is hilarious in it.

 

I have long heard the name, but I know nothing about Rip Torn. Can someone explain to me what was going on in this early MMA match between Torn and Mailer?

Maidstone - Hammer Time

Is this the origin of the term "hammer fist"? A really scary and sad moment.

 

He was the perfect sleazy record company exec in Paul Simon's 'One Trick Pony'. Will be missed.

 

Forced entire family on to couch last night to watch "Defending Your Life." Great Rip, great Buck!
