RIP torn

I don't think there was ever a time you popped up on screen that I didn't smile before you a chance to say something.

Love that movie. Watched it over the weekend.

[Surly Bevo 25085]

Holy hell, son, you're about as useful as a cock-flavored lollipop!

 

RIP

It's like the party's over and the last one to leave gets stuck with the check.

RIP.

I’ll always remember him as Fargo from By Dawn’s Early Light which was an excellent late Cold War movie on HBO. 

The best defense: cut the head off the Soviet chicken.

that was a great little film.  Shit, Rebecca DeMornay showed off her dramatic chops better than anyone.  Powers Boothe, James Earl Jones, and the Charles, Sr. from "Billions."  Everybody was great in that movie.  I know Torn did a lot of silly stuff, but he was masterful at dark comedy.  An absolute genius.  Nevermind somewhere tonight at the office of East Coast television and microwave programming...a mentee is missing his master.

Yep, Fightin’ Taylor Duck he was.

Mrs. Brat saw him at a couple of Homecoming class reunions.

(no, she did not do him..... she was Class of 1963)

 

[Guest Lobo]

I love that he left the corps of cadets because they were ‘comically absurd’ to transfer to UT.  When the irreverently jocular Rip Torn thinks your little club is unironically laughable, you have serious issues.  And he went on to become a decorated Army veteran.  

Real Army 

Real Longhorn

Yeah... but he hit on her, didn't he?

[freyguy 4279]

Blew my mind to read that he was the bad guy in Beastmaster.

Guess I was too distracted by this to pay attention any further.

RIP sir. You made me laugh uh-lot.

Wouldn’t be surprised. Those Taylor girls could be quite the flirts.

What a mess!

All of that for a paragraph

The way Torn tells it, it was Hopper who pulled a knife on him. Hopper had made some remark about how "all Texans are assholes," and Torn told him, "You can't judge all Texans by me." This outraged Hopper, who grabbed a knife off the dinner table and lunged at Torn--a former military policeman--who then turned the weapon on his attacker, forcing Hopper to drop it.

[Armybrat 40854]

Fuck Hopper. Not all Texans are assholes, just you guys.

There’s some serious philosophy in there.

Wish I could find the clip to embed, but Alec Baldwin tells a great Rip Torn story at around the 11 minute mark on Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee...Season 1, Episode 4.
