From His Cold Dead Hand…

April 6, 2008 12 comments

Yeah, yeah, I know, hardly an original tagline for the passing such a great…titles have never been anything close to a strongsuit for me, so go fuck yourself.

Yes, the one known as Charlton Heston has died, and lovers of hammy overacting (like me) and terrible films (Hello, Touch of Evil!) are in mourning. Probably every member of the NRA is having his own, personal 21 gun salute for the guy, symbolically blasting their .50 cals in the air in solidarity. Truly, a legend has died.

Now, let us remember him in the only way that is suitable for Moses himself…in joined laughter at the horror of The Omega Man (quick note…for those who don’t know, this was a 70′s version of the same book that resulted in I Am Legend).

    I don’t have the love for old Chuck that you have. It’s still too bad, but he has a wonderful legacy, at least.

    Cheesy actor, right-wing gun nut. He will live on in the hearts of survivalists everywhere.

    It won’t be long until they start selling gun racks sculpted in the shape of his cold, dead hands. It’ll sell like hotcakes I tell ya, hotcakes!

    I love the C. Heston gun rack idea…it must be brought in to existence!

    And George Strombolopolous was the first person I heard make the expected “And now someone can finally pry the gun out of his cold dead hand” joke. I thought it would be sooner.

    Well, somebody had to be the first. I would have expected some smarmy news anchor, who would then smugly chuckle at his own magnificence.
