*Charlton Heston voice* "Vaevtissue is people snot!!"

That was a really decent Charlton Heston impression. It almost sound like the used the movie audio.

"And I'm starting to feel a lot like Charlton Heston
Stranded on a primate planet
Apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground"

I don't know if they genuinely missed the entire point of Planet Of The Apes or if this is some weird meta-commentary on the kind of people that supported Charlton Heston.

I think you need to calm down before you suddenly bash out the first illogical or fallacious argument that appears before you.

Animal control is best handled by professionals and owners should be encouraged by both carrot and stick to be as responsible as possible.

Perhaps it would be more instructive to think of this on the macro scale. You certainly can't generalise from any one person be it Jim Carrey or Charlton Heston.

All I can conclude is that allowing access to guns across an entire population means a related increase in the number of injury and fatalities. If the entire population was incredibly careful, responsible and thoughtful it might not present a problem. Then again if they *were* we wouldn't have much of many of our other social problems.

All in all I like a country where guns are relatively rare. In a country like the U.S where they are common and many seem to tolerate the awful human cost, I find that extremely strange and frightening.

@therealblankman - or anyone else - can you name anything specific that Citizen Kane did? How was lighting different?
I've heard that it was the first film to use camera angles to portray power (e.g. looking up at someone dominating) which seems obvious to me and I've never made any films. Also I've heard it was the first to have ceilings on sets, which would go hand-in-hand with more camera angles. Before Citizen Kane, cameras were just placed at the normal approximately head height? That seems incredible.
I assume these weren't actually the first, like in 3D gaming (my forte), Doom is generally considered the first 3D game when it's not and Quake considered the first true 3D game when it's not - they were just the first to really bring this to the forefront.
Edit: Damn, that Touch of Evil shot is impressive. That must have been hell to organise.


Well I could babble on, but really I'd mostly be regurgitating Wikipedia so have a look for yourself... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Kane#Filmmaking_innovations

And I'm glad you agree about Touch of Evil. You should really see the whole movie of course. It's not a "chore" like Kane, the only challenge really is suspending disbelief and accepting Charlton Heston as a Mexican police chief!

Citizen Kane put me to sleep, Godfather was decent but not my type of flick, Star Wars movie was good, etc.

Citizen Kane was a chore, I only watched it because, well, people like this guy. I didn't notice anything special about it at all. I can only assume that the clever, innovative stuff it did has been repeated in every other movie I've seen so I'm accustomed to it. Maybe if I'd only seen pre-Kane movies before seeing it, it would blow my mind.


You've got it exactly right, after Citizen Kane movies were changed forever. The non-linear way the story was told had never been tried, and the camera and lighting were used in completely innovative ways. Hell, in one scene when Welles couldn't get the camera angle that he wanted he grabbed a pickaxe and shovel and dug a deep hole in the middle of the set in which to place the camera!

Truth is though, my favorite Orson Welles movie is "Touch of Evil" with Janet Leigh, Charlton Heston and Welles himself playing one of the most disgusting villains ever portrayed on film. The opening shot alone is a masterpiece, an uncut tracking and crane shot that goes for more than 3 minutes. Fantastic stuff.

Check out the opening scene here... http://videosift.com/video/Opening-shot-to-Touch-of-Evil

No director has ever surpassed this scene... Altman made a great effort in "The Player" and Scorsese came close in "Goodfellas", but still not quite.

Ghandi starved himself, very humble, wished for peace w/ his enemies. as for "communicates with us individually and grants requests"

I guess when moses asked for the ten commandments and God sent this flame and set those commandments into stone? Oh, that was a charlton heston movie. Excuse my sarcasm.

I have to use humor to respond to "god will grant your requests" because the whole idea is a joke.

wait, never mind. last time i was in a bookstore, they had a whole isle of "power of prayer" books. What the hell was i defending? Prayer granting wishes is making some authors moderately rich.

And now imagine what it would have been like if they hadn't got the gdmf Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to play Robert Neville. I simply cannot be tricked into believing that Will Smith is a military virologist.


You're right, they should've used Charlton Heston again.

The math only works if you lust while masturbating. I prefer the Charlton Heston Masturbation Technique: "In my cold, dead hands."

'Thought you might enjoy seeing this clip again. . .

Some nice camera work there, Choggie. Excellent use of depth-of-field, but you might want to check your audio levels- running a little hot there.

That's why John Paul the Second... what?


"That's why John Paul the Second apologised for the Spanish Inquisition."

Eddie had been doing a bit about how it was meant to be more of a casual chat than an inquisition, but his mime for stretching someone on the rack was like grinding a barrel organ, which got him on to monkeys and then Charlton Heston, so the above line was him smoothly linking back to where he had left off.

>> ^phelixian

I get what you're saying but I think the subjects he tackles deserve better and smarter treatment. I won't forget when he lays the emotional blackmail on old Charlton Heston and leaves a photo of a gun victim on his property. That's just hectoring of the lowest order.
He can make much better films and he has a platform to do so.

This guy makes Michael Jackson look like Charlton Heston.
