too bad, his gun crap clouds his legacy - Rest in Peace

well..... honestly, several of the other ones

We all know #6 is thinking of someone obvious (and already dead) like Rock Hudson. But yeah, from THAT era, I would be willing to bet 80% of those silver screen actors are homos.

@16 -- I like many words.

Your last comment demonstrates just what a pathetic human being you are capable of being.

Wishing and finding joy in the death of another simply because he was as you say a "terrible actor" defines you.

You sir, have a dark and empty soul. Not in a cool sort of gothic way. More like a septic tank.

Doesn't Nancy go to church on Sundays?

As for Chuck's politics, I prefer to blame his republican leanings on his Alzheimer's. Mental illness/defects are the only explanation I can come up with for voting republican.

Heston I don't give a second thought to. He can blow away with the dust.

@26 don't end that sentence with a preposition! (sorry)

"God daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn yooooooooou! God damn you all to hell!"

(First runner up: "Get your hands off me, you damned dirty ape!")

I'm not advocating for a return to stuffy sentences like "I'm sorry, with whom did you have lunch?", but i do think there is a general rule (read: most style guides support) about not using more words than you need (e.g., where is it? vs. where is it at?). Regardless of whether or not there are other official "rules" (read: generally accepted standards by a group of people perhaps consisting of no more than a few of my close friends), in my humblest of humble opinions the sentence would have been a lot smoother if you had just switched it around.

Okay, while I fully intend to cop Fnarf's uncompromising response to the preposition "rule", on looking back at my sentence, I admit I agree with you. My inner stickler tells me I was being lazy. So let's stick it to the old man one more time:

To Heston, I don't give a second thought. He can blow away with the dust.

I really liked the guy. I think modern American actors are namby-pambies in comparison. He was never afraid to vocalize his public opinions and stood by every one of them. Most people don't know he picketed segregated restaurants in the 1960s and marched with Martin Luther King.

I like to remember him for the everlasting bleak outlook he has left as a permanent scar on my inner psyche playing roles in the apocalyptic thrillers "Soylent Green", "Omega Man" and "Planet Of The Apes". If you haven't seen all three in one sitting, I highly recommend renting the Royal Heston Trilogy and having yourself a little "Hest Fest" this week. Everything you ever wanted to know about the meaning of life, the meaning of death, global warming, Communism, biological experiments and warfare, racism, and post-apocalyptic fashion are revealed in these three films.

Modern cinema had largely obsoleted Heston; only Harry Potter nowadays suffers as fatuously as Heston characters did. In the NRA Heston found a perfect stage for the overacting and fulminating that was his trademark. There is balance here, worthy of Hollywood: Heston suffered in his movies and then later made other folk suffer with his NRA nonsense. What a great ham!
