But really, come on. Where are the Soylent Green jokes?/?

Sorry if that seems irreverent, but I don't cotton to gun nuts much.

Dave The Angry Rhode Islander: Hey, that's Nova's line! (Or Dr. Zira's...)

Darwin's Dagger: Hee hee! I don't care if it's too soon. That's a good line!

MWB: Dr. Monkerstein, of course!

Distributorcap: Too true.

Dmarks: Liberals! Soylent Green is made out of liberals!

SadButTrue: I don't actually bear him any ill will, even if I didn't agree with his views. He was a conservative from a different era. Men like him were nothing like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly. The fact that he played both Taylor and Zaius in both versions of "Planet of the Apes" is very cool, I thought.

And I know what you mean about the 'Generalissimo Francisco Franco' factor. I have said the same thing about other celebrity deaths.

That he slammed guns in his lines was just delicious and, if I remember right, led to some accusations of being misled against Tim Burton and the film company afterwards.

I didn't think it was too soon in one of my posts.
At Mon Apr 07, 06:09:00 PM, GETkristiLOVE said...: So as a big NRA guy, is it safe to assume we can pry the gun from his hands NOW?
At Mon Apr 07, 10:15:00 PM, escralan said...: So now that he's dead how soon before that ship with the future apes lands here. I'm confused. Is James Franciscus still alive?
At Tue Apr 08, 03:22:00 PM, Dr. Zaius said...: Dean Wormer: I agree. Heston's cameo was about the only part I liked about the new film also. Oh, well. Let sleeping mutants lie!

Dave The Angry Rhode Islander: Poor Chuck Heston. Everyone is so mean to him.

GETkristiLOVE: If you say so. I don't want to do it - You first!

skippy: OMG, IT'S A COOKBOOK! ;o)

Executive Sous Chef R. Alan: Time travel can indeed be confusing. James Franciscus dies/will die in the underground hideout of the neocon-mutants in 3978.
