Charlton Heston
I don’t have much to say about the death of Charlton Heston. Should I be sad? The guy was pretty old. I’m also embarrassed to admit that I haven’t seen very many of his most famous films, including Ben-Hur, Planet of the Apes and The Ten Commandments (apart from bits and pieces every Easter…actually, that’s often the only thing that reminds me it’s Easter at all). So, his screentime that is most memorable to me is his interview in Bowling for Columbine and as you may know, that was not a very flattering portrayal. Also, did he have Alzheimer’s or what? I wonder if he thought people with Alzheimer’s should be allowed to have guns, too. Quite a dilemma, Charlie. Anyway, I mostly just wanted to use my “Obituaries” category. So, here’s hoping they let you take your guns to heaven (please note that I did not make a “from his cold dead hands” joke anywhere. But it wasn’t because I didn’t want to.)
