Another legend lost, very sad.

I liked his quote in this article:

The AOL Article

In a Hollywood where conservative politics are frowned upon by most, I admired his courage to stand for what he believed. I am certainly no acting critic nor movie expert, but I enjoyed what of his I watched and knew. I will the lone voice in the wilderness here (there's a shock) and say I loved the man's politics.

There's a famous quote by Bette davis that comes to mind.

...never mind.

Maybe this pro-gun quote?

It's a madhouse, A MAAAADHOOOOUSE!

Okay, politics aside (actually, I appreciate his support for civil rights back in the 60's, and he's politically no different than many of my own family whom I adore), Heston is like movie comfort food. Every time I watch him, I'm ten years old and sitting in the family car at the drive-in with a greasy paper bucket of popcorn on my lap.

Earthquake! (in Sensurround) - It moved me.

RIP Mr Heston.

I'm sorry- are you saying hate kept him alive?


I concur.

I wonder if, based on that opinion, hate is also keeping us alive?

I agreed with Moore that Heston's attendance at the NRA meeting shortly after Columbine was heartless. He was asked to stay away by the mayor and still showed up. While Heston was a adequate actor, actions like that made him seem like quite a buffoon.

No, no, no, no, no. Sometimes I have a dry sense of humor, is all. I didn't agree with him on a lot of things, but I was just quoting Ben Hur and making a joke of it.
