Charlton Heston passes away

Odd that snark would bring up Heston in his earlier post, only to have the actor die this weekend. Kiss of Death, much, snark?

In any case, Steve Clemons has an interesting tidbit about Heston from way back when Clemons worked at the Nixon Center. Take a look if you're interested, including the comments.

So. What was your favorite Heston movie? I must say, I was a Moses fan from way back. We watched every year during Easter, of course (there's a good rundown of what the film really meant at the time it was made in Steve's comments), and every year, I remember wondering why the hell Moses went and let himself be outed as a jew when he could have been king and gotten the girl, the throne, the dancing nubians, and could have freed the slaves with lots less hassle! Oh well, I guess it's all about the ten commandments or something like that...
