Classic.
The guys I work with are the same. We’re just of another age.

I’ll try that out on the Grandkids tomorrow.
I’ll try soylent red or yellow, but taking a pass on soylent brown.
Thank you G-d of Jacob, for giving us Charlton Heston—He understood what you were creating in America better than most people.
Saw part of a movie called “They Live” this evening and thought that it would make a goo mix with “Soylent Green”. Take out the aliens and make the bad guys liberals and you’d have a show so close to the truth that it would get anyone connected to it put on the new ‘BLACKLIST’.
El Cid and The Big Country. Sophia Loren and Jean Simmons were a bonus.
Matthias: One creature, caught. Caught in a place he cannot stir from in the dark, alone, outnumbered hundreds to one, nothing to live for but his memories, nothing to live with but his gadgets, his cars, his guns...
From “The Omega Man”
Bump.
Charlton Heston, now there was a Man.

I was in awe from the first time I saw him do a reading from the Holy Bible on television long ago. Once there were real heroes in Hollywood and the entertainment industry, Heston, Glen Ford, Glenn Miller, Jimmy Stewart, Bob Hope, to name a few. Now we have Sean Penn and his ilk.
I have DVD’s of Charlton Heston reading and retelling stories from “Genesis” and “Exodus.” He also visits sites in Israel and Egypt, discussing the geographical and cultural context. Great stuff - I could listen to him forever.
Where do you get those?
I got them at a discount Christian bookstore in an outlet mall :-). Here’s a link to the Exodus DVD:

It looks like there’s a set of four, two Old Testament and two New Testament, but they’re out of stock at Amazon.com and other retailers.

I am racking my brain and I can’t think of one modern day equivalent. Talent, masculinity, patriotism, brains and gumption have left Hollywood and our culture is the worse for it. *sigh*
