We just had this conversation yesterday: there are some incredible films starrting Heston, but the only thing you heard about him the last 10+ years is the NRA cold dead hands thing and that really embarrassing shit from Bowling for Columbine. But the man was Moses and Ben Hur for chrissake, and the guy who said "Soylent Green Is People!" and "You blew it up! Damn you all to hell!" etc., and it is important really to separate a person's political feelings from his/her artistic output. Thanks for the thoughtful post, Dave.

Interesting.
