bad actor is dead, but he was a good american gun owner

I’m with Sadly No! on this one:

Moses of the Assault Rifles has departed for the Great Firing Range in the Sky.

~~John Hinderaker on George W. Bush~~ Pauline Kael on Charlton Heston:

“With his perfect, lean-hipped, powerful body, Heston is a godlike hero; built for strength, he’s an archetype of what makes Americans win. He doesn’t play nice guy; he’s harsh and hostile, self-centered and hot-tempered. Yet we don’t hate him because he’s so magnetically strong; he represents American power — and he has the profile of an eagle.”

Apparently, in the land of the apes, the eagle-schnozzed man is king. Farewell, O Sultan of Saltpeter. You brought us 70’s disaster films and gun shows. For that, you will be kind of missed.

Not a huge Moore fan, but this was interesting…
