First Heath Ledger, then Roy Scheider, now Charlton Heston. Another God in acting and cinema has fallen. He died just before midnight. Turned on the TV to CNN and they had a thing up on him. Real shame, but the man was 83 years old. Now, Planet of the Apes, Hamlet, Midway, and Ben Hur won't seem the same... bye, Chuck.

So, can I have his guns, now?

Seriously, another marking personality goes. What's going on with this year? Is it the International Celebrity Die year or something?

I guess, but Chuck was old and was not well at all, or so his family stated. The funny thing was, Planet of the Apes was on just yesterday on AMC, and I watched the entire thing... bit ironic, but hey, it was the same case with Ledger (watched A Knight's Tale five days before he died) and with Scheider (watched Jaws three days before he died).

Maybe you should stop watching movies, then? Just in case? :rotfl:

That leaves reading the paper, getting on Subsim, playing games, and using the bathroom... oh, and eating. It's not fun to be qualified as a senior. Very boring. While I am happy to be old, I'm not happy that life has become so dull.

Sad news. I hope he died peacefully and with some dignity.

So what's the next movie your planning on watching :hmm:

RIP Chuck Sir.

I figure I'll start with Tom Cruise movies... then I'll move into Hannah Montana films. After we've hit these two strongpoints, I'll assault Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. If luck holds, they'll all be dead by the end of the year.

Just stay away from the presidential debates!

How about watching some RAP videos? Nobody in particular but maybe you can kill off the whole genre

Sad to see Chuck gone. I bugged my dad like crazy to take me to "Midway" in the theater with the sensurround. First movie I can recall seeing him in. Second movie was "Gray Lady Down". Later on, I saw all the other ones he's most remembered for except "Omega Man". Might have to rent that.

Not really; it just seems that way. Many years ago my then wife and I purchased an encyclopedia set, and every year we got the yearbook, and every year I was amazed at how many famous people died; people whose names I knew.

You know a lot more famous names that you realize.

Still, I'm gonna miss ol' Chuck. My dad used to live next door to Heston's sister, and got to have dinner with 'Chuck and Lydia' a couple of times. They talked enough that my dad and stepmom got invited to their son Frazer's 25th anniversary.
