Rip Torn Is Off To Rehab
78-year-old Rip Torn posted $100,000 bail today after spending 3 nights eating cold cheese sandwiches in a Connecticut jail for breaking into a bank with a loaded gun. Rip did not enter a plea to the charges against him today, but his lawyer told the court that he wasn't trying to rob the bank or hurt anyone. Rip was boozed like a Bad Girl and completely confused. The police report states that Rip made Jack Daniels proud by blowing a .203 on his Breathalyzer.
The police also said that Rip kept screaming about how they were taking him away from his house. This made me laugh at the old crazy, but then I saw a picture of the bank:
That bank looks like a fucking house! Banks aren't supposed to look like giant dollhouses! It looks it has comfy beds and delicious apple pies waiting inside. I would think that was my house too if I was a 78-year-old drunk with hair like Pennywise the Clown . Arrest that bank house, not Rip! Rip was set up!
Anyways, Rip's lawyer ended today's hearing by saying that he's going to a rehab facility immediately to try to curb his thirst for the sweet nectar. Rip knows that his family is sick of him being that kind of dad who ruins Christmas by falling on the tree and barfing on all the presents.

That's pretty funny. I was picturing a strip mall bank branch, but this one does look like a house.

Sorry about your mom. :(

Don't worry -- this is Connecticut. I'm sure they built it new to look like this, but have state-of-the-art whatevers in it.
Snideychick sez:
There's more than alcoholism going on here. It was mentioned in an earlier post that his daughter said he was starting to suffer from dementia. He looks blank behind the eyes. I recognize that look. My mom has it too.
Rip needs a full evaluation and work up (physical & mental), not just some cut and paste "I'm off to rehab" crap. God I hope someone in his life cares enough to do at least that much for him.
I was reading, reading, then the pic, and thought "That's a bank? It looks like a small town bed and breakfast. I'd live there." Then you said, "That bank looks like a fucking house! Banks aren't supposed to look like giant dollhouses! It looks it has comfy beds and delicious apple pies waiting inside."
well.. you're WRONG. It looks like a bed and breakfast, not bed and dessert. :P
I second that--Rip for Hot Slut of the Month.
"....family is sick of him being that kind of dad who ruins Christmas by falling on the tree and barfing on all the presents." -MK
Almost fell off my chair. Who the hell found the tapes..?! I buried those childhood videos, true story, of two of my uncles bestowing this exact 'holiday moment'.
oh, and, TEAM RIP. Rip's totally harmless (and hilarious in 'Dodgeball')
I can be consistently found 'at the bottom of my bottles' and then some. Some days I joke that I'm "signing up" to some rehab to pull a 'good will hunting' and heckle/fuck with the counselors. (i can be a bitch that way).
Leave the man be...this is a cruel, unforgiving world we exist in. At 78, you'll probably find me drunk somewhere quoting Frankle and Nietzsche happily and peacefully to an imaginary audience...until someone tries to force rehab, then the crazy will be on. It just seems wrong to put him in the spotlight in this way.
Poor Rip! The realization that he actually did appear in "Freddy Got Fingered" sank in and drove him insane.

I'm a little frightened by that statement, actually...although I can honestly say I have heard Rip Torn's name for years and can't remember anything bad about him until he started drinking like this.

I remember she was never pleased with his machinations.

No wonder he broke into the bank! WTF was the bank thinking? The bank probably has tons of break-ins, when it looks like this.
Funny post MK!
That bank does look very inviting.
Poor Rip is looking to RIP the wrong way.

Ol' Rip is a real mess. No rehab. Send him to Joe Arpaio's Arizona facility. In fact, Rip ought to volunteer to go there! You cannot coddle drunks and addicts. You have to show them what's in store for them if they do not straighten up.
He desperately needs a good haircut and have. He has no self-worth, pride, or discipline.
It's surprising that he did not shoot himself. That may have been the best and easiest way out.
Oh please he just HAS to be Hot Slut of the Month! No competition!

Well, at least there was no one there to insult him. My husband and I went to quaint Old Saybrook CT to see his brother and we went to the bank with his brother. While his brother was at the counter of this similarly quaint old bank, my husband and I were enjoying the art work in a corner and minding our own business. The teller asked my brother-in-law if he knew us. They thought we were casing the joint.

Awww, the poor old fucker. He was just trying to take a nap, for God's sake! Loved him on 'The Larry Sanders Show' and that cinematic masterpiece, 'Canadian Bacon.'
I doubt that rehab will do much for him at this point, but I wish him well.

if I ever make it to 78 I plan on doing whatever the hell I feel like whenever the hell I feel like it...okay, Rip likes to get ripped...so freaking what, and he broke into what looks like a house...and probably fell asleep on the floor...give the guy a break! He is 78...dayum, I give him props for just getting around like he does...and being able to drink that much at 78...I say you go Rip...get ripped all you want just stay in your house to do it to avoid the confusion of accidentally breaking into a house looking bank...poor baby!! You go Rip!!
*************************************
WORD...*sippin' some fine wine as a tribute to Rip*...(and when I say "fine wine" it means my creepy cousin didn't make it in his basement)...Rip, you go on and do yo' thang..cuz I'm a drunk ho that's gonna outdo yo' old ass when I'm 78...That's my retirement plan...
**********************************
Sorry, Roger, you are tiger now...
Being a slut who hails from this neck of the woods, I'll tell you that there are some lovely treatment centers in the Litchfield hills and due south. Silver Hills in southwestern CT seems to be the Promises of the East. I hope the treatment gets through to him and that he is able to accumulate sober time. It's never too late. Good luck Rip!
Now, that is so silly talking about rehab. The man drinks liqour nig doing meth!
How is that is going to help him? Not drinking is going to kill him. He just needs to stay his home when he drinks.
Please Mr. Francis Ford Coppola, make a Godfather part 4 with Talia Shire as the Godfather and Kay finally with the program.

Leave Rip alone. He is 78 and really doesn't give a good fuck.

I'm dying MK, I'm dying. You made me pee my pants a bit!
Blame it on the billy goat.
The guy is 78, I don't think he's going to kick the habit.
Everything upstate looks like this
whenever I go snowboarding to PA or upstate NY
every damn town is with banks lookin like this or something outta Flinstones

Ball friendly
MK, that shit made my day!
I swear I can see a TV inside playing a rerun of the Larry Sanders show. They can't send Rip up for this. It's the bank's own fault for looking like my neighbor's house. That goddamn building has a house address! And I swear to Jesus if there's a DirecTV satellite in the back I am filing a lawsuit myself.
The man is a national treasure. Call Dr. Drew. Call Candy Finnigan from Intervention. Let's stop wasting all of our energy trying to save Lindsay and Brit-Brit.
Save Rip Torn!!!
Next they're going to tell us that his loaded gun was really just a carved piece of soap shined up with some shoeblack from the last time he was in the hoosegow.
That's a house. Not a bank. Team Rip!
Please God, don't let him wind up on Celebrity Rehab.

No, his name is Marty Ingels.
He doesn't look much better than Rip though....

I wish him luck doing rehab because he looks like he's been bedding down in the bottom of the bottle for a while now.

Going immediately to rehab is supposed to make you look "responsible" to the courts I think.
I weep a little weep whenever somebody takes an awesome old house and ruins it by turning it onto a real estate agency or a lawyer's office or a fucking bank.
Is it mean to think that 78 is a little old for rehab??
Loaded gun? As someone we know would say:
Pepaws are NOT THE ONE!

This site should be fun only. The petty shit fucks up my buzz.
I hope he gets better. For some reason I like Rip.
I live here and this is how Northwest CT looks.
I WANNA SEE THE MUGSHOT!!!!
His mug from 2006 was priceless!
Pennywise ... nice. Anyway, good for him! Hope he gets better. Weirdest looking bank ever. They should put some sort of disclaimer for drunk people on the door (in neon flashing letters).

Falling on the tree and barfing on all the presents. LMAO! That bank looks very fancy.
Man that is a tight hairdo. I can't wait for the top of my head to thin enough to grow the sides out.
Good for him... I hope he gets better, I just really like him. He looks pretty handsome for a 78 year old raging alcoholic.
