Now they can take his guns, To bad.

The best chase or race scene in any movie has to be the Chariot Race in Ben Hurr.

RIP

Those damn dirty apes.

It seems we've been losing a lot of talent in recent years with none of it being replaced.


RIP Mr. Heston.

Yes, Tom, but ONLY now. I mourn for the generations to follow who did not live in the moment with Mr. Heston. There was always so much more than just the words in his message. When he spoke, we could reasonably expect it to be chiseled in stone and archived somewhere for revisiting when inspiration was needed. Those following, but not knowing him as we did, will never experience that bolt of lightning up the spine, that tightening of jaw, tensing of muscle, tearing of eye and awareness of moral rage that he evoked in us with his epic delivery, "From my cold, dead hand!". He wasn't acting. He was living.

There will be only 1 Mr. Heston, his life and legacy will live on if we use his example for the next generation.

One of the greatest actors ever, " A Real Man's Man"

Loved him in Mountain Men, with Brian Keith.

Rest In Peace Mr. Heston, you will be missed...

All the good ones are gone, it seems.  It is a sad day.  I greatly admired the man, and hope he is in a better place now.  He deserves to be.

His death will touch people of all walks, and his personality will come out through it all.  The good thing is that every report I have seen this morning says that everything he did from acting, to NRA to his feud with the Screen Actors Guild was HIM!  He was a true what you see is what you get man.  So far the media is going through this with the dignity of Mr. Heston's personality without spinning it.

By the way, that rigor is pretty tough.  Add to that his sincere stuberness, and if he has a gun in his hand it will be there for a long long time.  I don't know of a man capable of removing it!
