The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Just read it about the passing of Charlton Heston, he died Saturday night....people may not agree with some of his politics but he was a legend in the movies.....sad day seems there are only a handful of the big legends left....
It was only this time last week that i sat and watched The Omega man on DVD... :cry:

No way! :cry:

Sad news indeed. I wasn't really aware of his politics- just his films.

He will be missed.

Poor Chuck. I just read about it in this morning's paper.

I like his guest appearance in the otherwise apeshit (pun intended) remake of Planet of the Apes.

Right on. 8)

Wayne:
[enters gas station] Where's the First Presbyterian Church
on Gordon Street?

Bad Actor: Uh...

Wayne: [Prompting] Gordon Street, Gordon Street!

Bad Actor: [Flustered] Uh, Gordon Street! Oh yeah, Gordon Street!
Uh, I once knew a girl who lived on Gordon Street. But that was a
long time ago. When I was young.

Wayne: [looks at camera] Do we have to put up with this? I mean,
can't we get a better actor? I know it's a small part, but I think we
can do better than this.

[person crew comes in and replaces actor with another one]

Good Actor (CHUCK HESTON): Gordon Street? Ah, yes, Gordon Street.
I once knew a girl who lived on Gordon Street. Long time ago, when I
was a young man. Not a day passes when I don't think of her and the
promise that I made which I will always keep. That one perfect day on
Gordon Street.
[Pauses and reflects] That's uh, five blocks up, two over.

Wayne: [choking back tears] Thank you.

[jumps in car and drives away]

I had problems with his politics, but he was in some great roles. He was the ultimate B movie actor but his performances always turned the movies he was in into events.
