    When Roy Scheider died in February, in a couple morbid conversations I suggested Heston might be the next big name we'd lose...

    He was a big man who played big roles! He's a big loss!

    In his own words, 'I have lived such a wonderful life. I've lived enough for two people'.

    Bye chuck!


    I'll watch 'The Omega Man' tonight...



    Maybe some of you will be watching Planet of the Apes?

    Am I the only person who has a real dislike for this man? Seems so, so I'll keep quiet and let you all pay respects in peace.

    In what sense? Films or personal life?

    Purely personal. His political views.

    As for his films, never enjoyed one, never hated one....never blew me away with anything he did but similarly never hated anything he did either....meh.

    It's obvious that there are gonna be a few haters, after all his final years were somewhat controversial. I like his movies immensely (especially Planet, Soylent and Omega) but I wouldn't say that he's an amazingly outstanding actor. With that said, he was supposed to be remarkable at Shakespeare but I've never seen him perform in any Shakespearian movies so I'm really not one to judge.
