Harvey Korman passed away today, we was one of the best. He was in the funniest movie of all times and easily a top 10 in my book, Blazing Saddles. He also made the Carol Burnett show with an awesome chemistry with Tim Conway.
I've been pondering what to write about Charlton Heston's passing. I can't really speak to the man's worth past what I saw on TV and on the Big screen and what he said in the press. One thing is for sure, he was a very passionate man who was strong in his convictions and not afraid to rub those around him the wrong way just because he was an enigma in a land of weirdos and freaks. In short, he shared my love of guns and hatred of Apes and I presume Monkeys, no other like him will pass this way, so go peaceful Mr. Heston, to that grand land with plenty of guns and no Apes. Dave Hardy of Of Arms & the Law has a roundup.
Early in Apes, Taylor says: “I can’t help thinking that somewhere in the universe there has to be something better than man. Has to be.” Here’s hoping Chuck finds just that.
