I WON THE FUCKING BET!!!

WOOOHOO!!!!

FUCKING YES

I FUCKING WIN A BET ONCE IN MY LIFE!!!

Charlton Heston, I had this bet going that he'd be the next mega-famous guy to kick the bucket

I FUCKING WIN, KA-CHIIIIIING

*ahem*

Rest in Peace. I really loved his biblical work, those films were a class act.
And despite being a gun-nut, he was far from being a total hick. Go wiki him, I won't tell you why he was a much awesomer guy than Michael Moore would ever point out in a documentary.

As they say, "From my cold dead hands".
I'm gonna go get me Charlton's rifle!

I was quite surprised to hear this, though I'm not sure why. He was REALLY old.


What did you win?

That's the bet

I was like meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh he got t this time :P

I guess I don't win much of anything, but it's just the principle of the thing.

Oh my god, I'm in shock. He was a great actor, I loved Planet of the Apes, Ben Hur ...

I cant wait till Brian May dies..... his hair, maybe blond, he should cut it short for the new album and put tips in it.

He was Moses and the Omega Man (the original "I Am Legend"), El Cid, Marc Anthony, Ben Hur and Michelangelo. I will never forget "Soylent Green", that was scary.

Too bad he overshadowed his great name himself with his promotion of gun laws in the last years.

Damn you,damn you right to hell!

oh come on,someone had to say it ;-]

so who's the next one?
someone younger and less obvious this time.saying that,the curse of Dr Brian struck during the week with Melina Mercuri's husband biting the dust and Phil The Greek still in hospital but maybe its time for someone famous in a car related death..

i dont know whether to love him or hate him
he was a gun man which is no good to me,
but then to the other hand he campaned for negro freedom
which I guess i should be happy for

his acting was the the very best supplementary

I could never sit through Ben Hur. (Yet somehow I managed "War and Peace" and "Gone with the Wind", oh the humanity D:)

And he looked frightfully unclean in "Planet of the Apes".

But rest in peace, anywho.

My favorite CH role was in Treasure Island. Straight to Video movie, but awesome production none the less.

Too bad it's only on VHS. No DVD and I haven't seen it on TV in years.

One shouldn't condemn a man for voicing his opinion, unless that opinion is somehow morally corrupt (e.g. racism, promotion of morally wrong activities, etc.). Everyone has a right to theirs...

Couldn't agree more (though it was more a promotion of guns than gun laws).

Aha, but where do we draw the line?
What if my opinion is that his opinion on some things was shitty?

I don't condemn him, exactly.... and I certainly didn't like what Michael Moore did to him in that Colombine film.
Yeah, really sticking it to the institution, Michael.. chasing an old man around his house with the photo of a murdered kid as though he was the guy that pulled the trigger.

He was a well-meaning old man with vastly different values from me, and I can easily respect that.
I still think his view on guns was lousy, but that's just me. I don't own one, see.

I certainly do not condemn anyone for voicing their opinion but Charlton Heston will remain in the memory of many people as the old gun fanatic while his life was so much more. That'a pity in my opinion but it was his choice and it's not Michael Moore's fault.
