R.I.P. Charlton Heston, Nostalgia, NRA

Chuckton Heston was one of the best. He had a really kick ass physical advantage on other actors that made him, essentially, the LeBron James of his era. Sure, there were other actors who could boast good looks (Stewart, Grant, Gable), booming freak-voice (Yul Brynner) or even his level of manly physical prowess (Katherine Hepburn). But nobody combined all three in such a convenient package. Whether he was playing a Mexican (Touch of Evil), or even a Jew (The Ten Commandments), dude could act.
He also got posterized by Michael Moore once which I thought was lame. Can't hate on El Cid for being a baller, if a conservative one.
Speaking of conservative, this dude loved guns.
I always imagined the den of his private home with human heads mounted on the wall. And a giant polar bear rug. The rug really got off light though, I suppose.

Don't worry, it turns out Polar Bears hang out on ice drifts on purpose, to hunt. And they can swim like 20 miles no problem, so this guy's cool... unless this ice flow is 21 miles or more away from shore. But if it is, then he's in international waters, and you know what that means...


That's right, it's freaky interspecies bondage. Anyway... Charlton Heston was great.
He will be missed...
If you'd like to make a small donation to the NRA in honor of his memory... what? That's not inappropriate!
