ixcuincle Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 RIP. I best remember Mr. Heston for his performance in "The Ten Commandments". Great film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Great actor, though a bit of a loon. Rest in peace.*sigh* I could make a terrible joke right now, but that would be in bad taste. I know someone will, eventually, though. When was he a loon? When he was a very early part of the civil rights movement or when his personal politics started to disagree with your own?

I know someone will, eventually, though. It doesn't take long for people to show their colors around here... especially when news like this occurs. Thanks for showing yours... we all know what we're dealing with going forward. So, thanks for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rincewind Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 As much as I didn't like his politics, to see anybody suffer through Alzheimer's breaks my heart. What Michael Moore did to him was horrible, imo. As for the jokes - the guy made a living saying 'from my cold, dead hand' so they do come pretty easy... RIP.

CTaylor42 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 R.I.P. Mr. Heston I loved him in the original "Planet of the Apes". I have been aiming to see "Omega Man", but just haven't got around to it. He will be missed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorhead Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Always a little strange when one of the icons of my time passes...RIP, Chuck. So true dude! Are we getting old or what? RIP MR. Heston. He was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlinga Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 What a huge loss...I loved his movies & respected his politics. He will definitely be missed. RIP Mr. Heston. Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Wow, that's sad. Even though I'm not a big fan of the religious movies, Heston really stood out in them. "Let my people go" is one of those classic movie moments/lines that would only have been as good delivered by a handful of other actors. Soylent Green is one of my sll tine favorites and he was very good in Planet of the Apes as well. Finally, he was a very intelligent guy and that really came across in his leadership of the NRA.

PCS Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Wow. Another actor I grew up watching passes away. Though controversial in many ways, the man could act and I enjoyed watching many of his movies. May he Rest in Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corcaigh Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 It's a real shame that for too many young 'uns he'll be remembered for his appearance in Bowling for Columbine, as a confused old man being bullied by Michael Moore. I'm not sure he was the greatest actor, but he did star in some of the greatest blockbusters ever made. He also took a stand in favor of civil rights at a time when it placed his career in jeopardy. For me by far his best role was in Touch of Evil, which he also helped get off the ground with Orson Welles as director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Just one more reason to hate Michael Moore in my opinion. Someone should have beat him up in that movie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECU-ALUM Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 Just one more reason to hate Michael Moore in my opinion. Someone should have beat him up in that movie... Don't worry about Michael Moore when all is said and done...I think it is safe to say that people will recall Mr. Heston with respect & admiration...people can see through Michael Moore's liberal limo lifestyle a mile away...the guy (Moore) is a putz who needs to get kicked in the crotch once a day everyday for one year.
