    Default Remembering Charlton Heston

    It was sad to see him go, in the way that he went. There are still so many movies of his I have yet to see. I admired him because he seemed to me a man that stood up for what he believed in, regardless of public opinion.

    I hope his family gets along fine.

    Any thoughts or comments?

    He was a man of strong personal opinion, and also an extraordinary actor and defender of the Second Amendment.

    I haven't seen all of his work by any means, but maybe because of who he was, he had a "presense" about him that was amazing. It was a sad day when they took his gun from his cold dead hands

    I guess that's probably too strong of a word, but check out his opinions on America's social trends and his "cultural war". Regardless, I still think his positive attributes outweighed his negative ones...it just seems that he got caught up in his own image.

    Care to back that one up with facts JFellows? He was a conservative, but I have never heard him called a bigot before.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.

    I think he also had the first big screen interracial kiss.
