Global Warming, er, Climate Change, er, Global Cooling @ 12:05 pm


Mike in Dunstable, England sums up the most recent article on Global Warming Climate Change Global Cooling in a comment following this article at the Daily Mail:
When the great unwashed, bearded, tree hugging, veggie, cycling, generally scruffy sandalists realised they were talking rubbish, they started to rename the problem "climate change." Which means that our weather changes from time to time, as any 10 year old could have told them.

Charlton Heston Filmography @ 12:58 pm

Tags: , , , , ,

Mike Clark gives an excellent overview of the late Charlton Heston's fine and varied career today at USA Today with info on DVD/VHS availability.

We still love the larger-than-life actor as "Moses, Moses, Moses", (Passover/Easter time wouldn't be the same without the Easter Sunday broadcast of The Ten Commandments). But there's a certain something about the actor's quirky '50s films with odd story lines, strange characters and exotic locations. Films that looked and felt like covers of pulp fiction paperbacks and which hold a certain strange fascination. Offputting, yet compelling, these include Secret of the Incas, The Naked Jungle and Orson Welle's, Touch of Evil.

One of our favorite little known Charlton Heston films is Will Penny, the western about an old cowboy at the end of an era who has lived past his time. Do yourself a favor and seek out this film with Heston's touching and textured performance, bolstered by a fine supporting cast which includes Bruce Dern and Joan Hackett.
