Where do you see this? I just checked CNN and a couple of other sites but none of them have a mention of it.

Funny the way I remember him now is in Fahrenheit 9/11.

You mean Bowling for Columbine?

Now we can finally pry that gun from his cold, dead hands.

RIP Chuck. You were a great ham. And that's a compliment.

Please not let this be true...

It would be a cruel prank to suggest such a tragedy if untimely suggested.


If so I would be most kind, proud, and honored, to be the one to pry the rifle from your cold dead hand, and continue to carry it onwards for the rest of my life.

"A Well Regulated Militia, Being Necessary To The Security Of A Free State, THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED".

An American Constitutional Right, that Charlton Heston had always held dear, a right that I have also always strongly respected.

This Great Man will live on forever, in his great history of civil rights crusadership for many, many causes, and for his Wonderful Cinematography.

Mr. Heston, you are free to move on now my good friend, and you will be missed.

Rest assured that my own well trained rifle is at hand, and I will continue to cover your back with it, until the day that I must also pass it on to another.

The phrase "well regulated" and the word "militia" don't go in the same sentence. At least not in this day and age.

At any rate, The Omega Man, Planet of The Apes, and Soylent Green were the most memorable. Pretty much he has been irrelevant for years.

Cinematography? Mr. Heston's been accused of many things, but never of being a cinematographer.

I can't believe I forgot his best role of all, Touch of Evil. I give him all the credit in the world. He was as woefully miscast as possible (against Welles' wishes) as a Mexican, of all things, but damned if he didn't make for a fine Ramon Miguel Vargas.

You might want to elaborate a bit more there.

Whenever the US Constitution has mentioned "The People", they actually meant "The People".

Or might you offer another definition as to who they actually meant "The People" to mean????

I hope you don't intend to try to re-write history here, I am a decedent of one of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, and additionally an early author of the U.S. Constitution.

I don't appreciate any argument here, I know what was written, I understand what was written and ratified, and no one person can change that...

I don't wish to argue this any further if that is your objective.

Lets get back to DVDTOWN.COM, and a discussion of Movies.

Thank You.

I think his best movie was Ben-Hur, without a doubt....

How are you posting this if you are deceased?

Anyways, you are the one that brought up gun argument, not spoon.
