Get your hands off of me, you damn dirty death!

RIP to one of my favorite guilty-pleasure actors.

I guess people will be able to get his guns away from him now.

RIP to a dude whose on-screen presence I greatly enjoy watching.

I guess God needed someone to head up His gun lobby.

I read about it here before the wire had it. This place is quick to the draw.

RIP to a legendary actor.

Heston was a gun nut, but he seemed to have a good sense of humor about his over-acting. I always thought that was cool.

In that spirit ...

No, no. God needed Charlton to warn him that, "SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE! IT'S PEOPLE!"

Loved the actor, hated the man--RIP

"If you will not live by the law, you will die by the law!"

Loved the actor, hated the man--RIP

And why, pray tell, did you hate the man? Because he had a different view of the second amendment than you do?
Is that a reason for hate?

God needed Chuck to prowl Tijuana with Orson Welles (re: "Touch of Evil," one of my all-time faves).
Was it Welles' idea for Chuck to wear the dirty sanchez throughout the film?
Chuck...I....love you, man!

Never once, when "damn hippie hollywood liberal" died, did I say I hated the person.
I'm only wondering why an extreme emotion such as hate has to be applied to a difference of opinion.

Oh, I'm sure he'll be wailing and gnashing teeth when Alan Alda dies.
