God is dead. Nietzsche finally proved right.

You god damn filthy apes....
Charlton Heston just bit the bullet. Dead. Soylent Green. Tombstone written.

But at least now we can pry that gun from his cold dead hands.
Sad loss. Man is a legend.

Let the bad punning, arguments about gun control and RIP posts commence.

A great actor.

Ben Hur.

Almost ironic he didn't die form a bullet,:rolleyes:

he was brilliant in Wayne's World

Christ, I was just talking about him last night - quoting the "get your paws off me" line, then moving on to talking about Stop The Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off! (the POTA musical in The Simpsons starring Troy McClure).

Man, I get freaked when stuff like that happens. I was talking about Johnny Cash the night before he died, and I was talking about Nina Simone a few hours before she died.

Do I have weird powers...?

Anyway he seemed like such a redneck. Kinda sexy in the 50s/60s but then entered sleazeball territory in the 70s.

I'm convinced Troy McClure is a Heston parody but my brothers reckon I'm wrong and that McClure is just the ultimate B-movie actor. What do youz think?

"From my cold, dead hands!"

Is he cold yet?

What odds can I get on him being buried with a rifle?

Loved the Omega man.

He was a brilliant actor.

You're freaking me out! You don't just ban people, you kill them with your mind for no reason whatsoev...aaaaarrrggh

I know... I killed them!

Was reading up on Heston: he was such a liberal up to the late 60s - voted Democrat, spoke out against racial segregation (including picketing one of his own movies that was segregated) and was actively involved in the Civil Rights Movement, opposed Vietnam...

Then he switched to Republican, voiced opposition to Affirmative Action, and of course all that gun malarkey.

Gotta hate it when people do annoying stuff like that.

You mean stuff like kill celebrities through the power of thought alone? No, I gotta say, I'm actually okay with it.

As usual wikipedia has the answer to the Troy McClure question.

At these times you do feel for his family and friends and their loss.

However my feelings for him are colored by his NRA involvement,

Heston might have been a good actor, I don't know, I can't recall seeing any of his films.

As a person he just seems to be to have not been a nice man, to have gone to those places for hastily arranged NRA rally just after massacres? that was very wrong and it put even greater pain onto those who were already suffering.

You're right, see Wikipedia. Thanks Earthhorse.

Not that, more his extreme shift in political leanings. Have to say I'm starting to find the killing stuff pretty cool.

Aw, for a moment I thought you meant "legendary killer" substituting "legend" for "legendary" but then I saw the angry face.

Voodu Child

He wasn't that good in fairness. That film about the talking monkeys, and the one with Ben Hur in it. That's about it isn't it? He was no Clint Eastwood that's for sure.

humanji

Well he was on my Dead Pool list, so at least something good comes out of his death.

Ah yeah, I was only joking. David Mamet recently wrote something in the Sunday Tribune about how his conversion to conservatism. Not that I can't separate the artist and the art but it is dissapointing to see.

biko

He was an ok actor.
I hope this causes NRA to crumble somewhat.

Yeah, he's become a staunch supporter of the free market in recent years.

Re the thread title: did Heston ever actually play the role of God in a film? I know he played Moses. Is that kinda the same thing?
