I'm still looking for one of those "My President is Charelton Heston" bumper stickers. |
|
Confession time: as actors, I never liked Charlton Heston or Burt Lancaster. As men, I have no opinion.

Acting wise, he was a one trick pony ah-la William Shatner...
He was good for the NRA though! |
|
Shit... I love me some Chuck Heston!
GET YOUR STINKING PAWS OFF ME YOU DAMN DIRTY APES!

Very good SHTF movie http://sadakoreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/omegaman.jpg http://www.ebogjonson.com/files/images/omegaman.jpg Omega Man FTMFW! |

I think Heston was one of those admirable people with a less than admirable career, where an actor like William Holden had a stellar career with a less-than-stellar personal life. Too bad, because I like Holden's work, and have been told I look like him. I personnally will always favor the person who didn't let his star power corrupt him. |

Yeah! Watched Omega Man last Saturday and hung out with "The Scout" statue at the Whittington Center last month.

I would have rather had him as President than a Bush.
And let's not forget he marched with blacks and was part of the civil rights movement long before it was fashionable.
Little did they know it would turn out to be the vice rights/ affirmative action movement. |

What makes you think people here don't like Charlton Heston?
He did die a couple of years ago. That could be why he hasn't been mentioned much. |
|
I have a lot of respect for him and I think most everyone else here does too. As mentioned above, he was good for the NRA. It's a shame he couldn't have been here longer.

Wrong generation. Chuck was my generation and not the current generation's hero. Today's probably Tom Cruise
|
|
Was a damn fine actor.
Was a damn fine spokesperson for our cause. Nothing but respect for him. |
|
Don't forget midway,"You better straighten up tiger or some hot shot jap pilot will put a bullet up your ass"
|
|
Hell there are 4 or 5 folks with him in their avatar.
"Get your stinking paws off me you damned dirty ape" has been quoted myriad times. |
|
Quoted: Don't forget midway,"You better straighten up tiger or some hot shot jap pilot will put a bullet up your ass" MIDWAY FTW!!! |

The GREAT MAN and I share a birthday.... alas so does Susan Sarandon...
|
|
I never saw Soylent Greene.
Was he any relation to Shecky? The Mountain Men was one of those movies I thought should have had a sequel. |
|
Quoted: No autograph from Anthony Zerb?Plenty of love for Chuck around here. A few will flame him and tell you he "supported the GCA of '68." I don't know if that is true or not, but times were a LOT different then, and the bottom line is, he was a true champion of the Second Amendment even if he might have made a mistake or two. (Show me someone who gets through life without making any mistakes and I'll buy you a drink). RIP Mr. Heston. ETA: His autograph, from my collection... http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc90/omega62/TOM.jpg |

There's plenty of love for Charlton Heston at arfcom, but he's gone and we're still here. So we move forward and keep our friends in our hearts.

Charles Heston was a 1990's icon of the gun rights movement which pre-dates 90% of this site's involvement with firearms.
|
|
Heston spoke on the radio in favor of the 68 gun control act and thought Ak-47's and assault weapons should be banned . No love for a Fudd. he was Zimbo before his time. Notice you never see him with a semi always a Fudd gun.
|
|
love heston. I met him a few years back here in Provo and got him to sign an American Rifleman Presidents column for me.
He was a super classy guy. Stood up, despite being in pain and being interrupted by me, looked me in the eye and introduced himself. one of my favorite famous people cause he had the balls to stand up for what he believed in. |
|
I always admired Chuck.
If you haven't read his autobiography, "In the Arena", it is a great book. |

Quoted:

.......Ben Hur........I thought he was very cool, I got no problems with him.

Before Heston died, Chuck Norris would call him every day to make sure they were still friends.

A few quotes:
NRA CONVENTION June 6, 1998 "...Mr. Clinton, sir, America didn't trust you with our health-care system. America didn't trust you with gays in the military. America doesn't trust you with our 21-year-old daughters, and we sure, Lord, don't trust you with our guns.." ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––- SPEECH TO NATIONAL PRESS CLUB September 14, 1997 ...I simply cannot stand by and watch a right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States come under attack from those who either can't understand it, don't like the sound of it, or find themselves too philosophically squeamish to see why it remains the first among equals: Because it is the right we turn to when all else fails. That's why the Second Amendment is America's first freedom... –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– |

I think you, sir, have not been paying attention. Much love for Mr Heston - My President.

Anyone have a Hi-Res of Heston holding up the rifle during "From my cold dead hands"?

Quoted: Quoted: Shit... I love me some Chuck Heston! GET YOUR STINKING PAWS OFF ME YOU DAMN DIRTY APES! Loved that movie. You don't question Moses. http://globalfire.tv/nj/graphs/moses.jpg Two Words: You Tube. If you're going to post references to two of the best movie lines of all time, you need to provide video for the young'uns. Two very different movies, BTW. But both showed Heston's range of acting. |

Quoted:
Acting wise, he was a one trick pony ah-la William Shatner... He was good for the NRA though! Sort of. He was a trojan horse of sorts, but he did make the NRA a lot more palatable to people who didn't know it well because he was a man of excellent character. |
