killthenet Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hollywood megastar of the 1950's and 60's Charlton Heston has died. He will probably be best remembered for his role in the 1959 epic Ben Hur but a lot of sci-fi fans will remember him for his turn in the fantastic Soylent Green and The Planet Of The Apes. In his later years he became somewhat of a reviled figure, for his support for the NRA, but his work as an actor will long be admired. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7332960.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayseven Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 He made an excellent mexican. Don't think I was ever a fan of him personally, but he's probably an all-american hearoh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Ben Hur suffered from all it's scenes being dragged out for far, far too long. My god, the chariot race! Anyone who supports the NRA as much has he did won't be missed greatly by me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyletherobot Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I just got sent Soylent Green from lovefilm. Haven't seen it since I was about 6. R.I.P. Charlton. A bit of a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxigen_Waste Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 R.I.P Charlton Heston, a true movie legend who will be missed by all. Thanks for the memorable movies. Liar! I won't miss him! He'd already passed his good years as an actor and was an asshole as a person, so good ridance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's the way I feel about almost everyone. Even my two uncles who died. Fuck'em, they didn't mean shit to me. Seriously... death is overrated. No.. wrong... human lives are overrated.

killthenet Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Soylent Green and Planet Of The Apes were pretty good though, ey? Even if he had a gun grafted to his arm in real life, at least they covered it up in his movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodleman Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 He made an excellent mexican. Jayseven throwing in a casual touch of evil referance there (or at least I hope it was). I couldnt take that film seriously whenever he was on screen, pretty much the most unlikliest person to play a mexican ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Planet of the Apes is one of my favourite films of all time, I'm quite into my Sci-fi. I'm pretty saddened by this. R.I.P. THIS IS A MAAAAADHOUSE! A MAAAAAADHOOOOUSE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I had mixed feelings about the man. Omega Man was a ruddy good film mind. "Huh. There's just never a cop when you need one." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
