Charlton Heston, Disarmed.

I was hesitant to put the title on this post that I did but decided that someone was going to say it so I might as well say it with profound regard and respect for the man and his message. As an actor I knew who Charlton Heston was but I simply don’t pay that much attention to Hollywood. Rather, I knew him as a handsomely craggy and very old man who had been in movies and now was an advocate for the NRA.
I approve, sir.
Rest now in peace and lay down your arms. It is right and appropriate to do so. Few will leave such a legacy.

I felt really ashamed wondering if his gun really was pulled out of his dead cold fingers. Or if he would make a tasty food supplement. Or Moses.
Gah. The man made some damned fine movies. I’m gonna go watch Ben Hur.
To illustrate just how much I don’t pay attention… Moses or Ben Hur are movies I’d associate with Heston while movies I’ve actually *seen* and talked about and liked (or hated) he was in those *too*… Like Soylent Green or Planet of the Apes. I’ve been seeing those references now and I sort of do the forehead slap, “Duh!” thing.
Charlton Heston, 1924-2008…
Heston’s 1999 NRA Keynote…
don’t worry Josh, people have been waiting almost a decade to use that joke. I think people these days totally forget how involved he was in the civil rights movement, “long before Hollywood found it fashionable.”
