Charlton Heston Is Dead

<< < (5/9) > >>

Nodaisho:
Yeah, I have seen a lot of pictures of him marching with the civil rights movement. One of the various black advocacy groups issued a press release mentioning him, saying that they preferred to remember the phase of his life where he was marching, rather than the phase of his life where he was head of the NRA. I have also heard him being accused of being racist and sexist, probably to do with things like asking why it is that black pride or hispanic pride are well and good, but if someone claims to be proud of being white, shaved heads and white hoods immediately come to mind.

Oh, and Ikrik, yes, I think it is more selfish to kill yourself, we knew he was dying, and we were sad that he couldn't always remember us (He kept calling me by my father's name), but we were glad he was with us.

Me too! It's cruel to get someone's hopes up like that.

Also, it's pretty mean to be actually happy (not just making oh so witting "cold dead hands" comments) that some old actor who had a terrible disease is dead. Michael Moore came off as such a bigger prick than Heston in Bowling for Columbine.

I am pretty down with the second ammendment.

Also, my Grandma went to school with Heston. One time she walked backstage at a show and Heston's girlfriend was hitting him on the bare chest and saying "you magnificent bastard!" Or so my Grandmother said. She's so good at telling stories that that I was in hysterics.

That's pretty much all I have to say about Heston. Except that the older I get, the more people I have heard of die.

Nodaisho:
Sorry, I was just making an example of one of the few people that I wouldn't put out if they were on fire (and the part of me that I try to ignore would probably be tempted to make a joke about being flaming).

I never actually saw Bowling for Columbine, I do remember hearing that during an interview with Marilyn Manson, there was a pretty good quote, though why he was interviewed is beyond me, apparently someone didn't get the message that the shooters actually thought Manson was lame. If it is actually about just gun laws and music, I don't think I will bother seeing it, because correlation does not equal causality, and since I heard they broke 19 federal laws, I seriously doubt that making more laws would have been effective. Attempting to make more laws when someone breaks them is akin to putting barbed wire on top of a fence when someone is going through a hole on the bottom.

This is why memorial threads are lame. Instead of talking about a dude who punched apes in the face we are discussing gun control YET AGAIN.

Charlton Heston was pretty rad, even if I don't approve of some of his political leanings. Planet of the Apes is an awesome fucking film.

Heston of the Apes....is better.  I think I'll download it and put it on my iPod so I can remember him whenever I feel like it....
