Even when he had just a really small part in a movie, he was usually the best part of it. Me and my friends used to watch this movie called "Rolling Kansas" a lot that he was really funny in.
He also just seemed like an interesting dude. He apparently once made Dennis Hopper so made that he pulled a knife on him. He also got arrested one time for being so fucking drunk that he accidentally broke into a bank and fell asleep thinking it was his house.
Lol yeah, that's where I first heard about it. The clip used to be on YouTube, but I'm not sure if it still is.
It seems like he was one of those "No Fucks Left To Give" type drinkers, so I'm sure the people kn that town have all got some Grade A Rip Torn stories to tell.
He also attacked Norman Mailer with a hammer, they were shooting a film and Mailer decided they should all take a bunch of acid during shooting, Rip Torn lost it and thought Mailer was trying to manipulate his mind or something and tried to kill him. Fuckin crazy shit, Joe Rogan.
Artie was probably the best TV character of all time. He also attacked Norman Mailer with a hammer once while on acid. Real ass dude of the century. RIP.
I've actually never watched The Larry Sanders Show before, but I keep hearing people say it was great, so I'm definitely going to give it a shot a some point.
It's one of the greatest shows of all time. Watch it on a bootleg site or get the dvds I think they're cheap. There's enough to get you moving on youtube. Bob Odenkirk also crushes.
Faggot Ricky Gervais tried to talk to Garry Shandling as his comedic equal and failed. David Brent's character is basically a rip-off of Hank from Larry Sanders. The whole atmosphere of the show is basically stolen from Shandling (my opnion). If you watch the pilot of Curb Your Enthusiasm it's also apparent that Larry David was heavily influenced by Larry Sanders's "too cool for school" mood.
Faggot Ricky Gervais tried to talk (in one of his self-important comic-to-comic serious interviews) to Garry Shandling as his comedic equal and Shandling slapped him like a dog.
If anyone hasn't seen this, please watch it. Douche chills.
Defending Your Life is one of two watchable rom-coms, the other being As Good As It Gets. I often think of the scene where Albert Brooks wants to try food that smart people eat. "Tastes a little like horseshit, doesn't it?" *nod+grimace*

Did you hear that story on O&A? Swear to God some caller brought that up because she lived in the same area.

"do I have to drink my own urine? No...but it's sterile and I like the taste"
Rip Torn is the one thing I remember about the movie

Mike Fitzgibbons' son is a nuclear physicist and my son CAN EAT A CHICKEN! You can either eat that god damned roast beef or you can go to bed.

Just how petty he was is just great. "Will you two faggots stop making so much goddamn noise!?"

It's really good. Norm MacDonald and Colin Quinn -- who plays Artie's son -- both make appearances.

You will be blown away at how ahead of it's time it was. The first couple of episodes are a bit shaky, but keep going. Top 5 tv shows ever.

Hank Kingsley has a huge cock.

The video of the hammer attack is amazing.

I didn’t think I could like Rip more. What a man
1 DarkhawkAlpha 2019-07-12
Loved him in Beer The Movie. Whip out your Norebecker

for years I thought I had just made up seeing that crazy shit on tv, then I looked i up. It was still pretty ridiculous. and funny.

Louis CK gave him enough rope to hang himself, then Rip used it to lasso a red-headed idiot.

Annie Hall?
1 LookyLookyMissCookie 2019-07-12
Not Annie Hall. Night of the Living Dead.
1 packitchofsositch 2019-07-12
I'm ashamed to say I've been putting off getting into Woody for decades. The only one I've seen was that piece of shit one with Tracy Ullman
1 ScarletNumbered 2019-07-12
Small Time Crooks?
Anyway, after Annie Hall, watch Bananas, which is a straight comedy, rather than romantic.
