Charlton Heston has finally kicked the bucket. I'll admit to loving the movie Ben Hur when I was a kid, and to loving Planet of the Apes, Omega Man, and Soylent Green as well, but his politics late in his life made me cringe and after he became president of the NRA I vowed to never watch any of his films again. I hope he gets reincarnated as an Iraqi baby, or an Afghani woman, or an east coast dyed in the wool liberal anti hand gun crusader.

Let's go pry his rifle from his cold dead hand

Yeah, he's an idiot. He did nothing for himself in Bowling for Columbine. I thought Soylent Green was pretty funny, actually...
I'm with you, but I still love The Ten Commandments". Oh Moses, Moses.
Your title: ROFL
I snorted my Pepsi all over the screen.
That photo makes me want to find out who his dentist is and warn people not to go to them for dental care. Yellow!
I don't drink pepsi, but if I did I would have snorted it all over my screen, too.
I hope it was a painful death. Ooops! Did I just write that? I didn't mean it!
After making a really good a point about Canada and America's news coverage of violence, I thought that Michael Moore pulled a really cheap stunt on Heston in his film, "Bowling For Columbine." He just badgered the poor man.
I don't actually bear Heston any ill will, even if I didn't agree with his views. He was a conservative from a different era. Men like him were nothing like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly. The fact that he played both Taylor and Zaius in both versions of "Planet of the Apes" is very cool, I thought.
I loved his crypto-gay turn in Ben-Hur, and the guy WAS Moses. And as MNMom said, "Moses! Moses!" I loved that part.
Still, the guy showed he was a complete ass when he and NRA went to Colorado just after Columbine, so he deserved whatever Michael Moore wanted to give him, that bastard.
Lucky for us AND the NRA that Hilary has suddenly discovered her inner Charlton Heston.
