It’s been a while between updates but here’s a new comic featuring the island’s armorer: Charlton Heston. Heston is a gun nut that could give Charles Bronson a run for his money so they let him handle all the matters related to firearms. For great tough guy roles by Heston check out Ben Hur, True Lies, and his 70’s Sci Fi Trilogy: Planet of the Apes, The Omega Man, and Soylent Green.

One of the reasons I’ve been slow in updating is that I’ve been spending a lot of time over at the Action Alliance. The board is really growing so drop in and start a thread about your favourite action film from the 60’s to today.

Just in case you forgot how awesome these movies are, here’s a preview for the new Ultimate Edition

Warner Brothers is releasing the Dirty Harry series on DVD again. This time with some kickass special features. All 5 include audio commentary with Richard Schickel on Dirty Harry, The Enforcer and Sudden Impact and John Milius on Magnum Force. If you decide to buy the new Ultimate Collector’s Edition you’ll get all 5 movies with their features plus:

– 40+ page hardcover book

– wallet with metal badge and removable ID card

– five 5″ x 7″ lobby poster reproduction cards and an exclusive Ultimate Collector’s Edition card

– “Scorpio: Portrait of a Killer” 19″ x 27″ map of San Francisco detailing Harry’s hunt for the killer in the first film

– never-before-seen production correspondence

It comes out on June 3rd so save up your money because “A man’s got to know his limitations”

Okay, I’ve been gone a while but now I’m back and the first link up is a Death Wish Quiz on AMC’s blog: The Future of Classic. If you think you know the answers to all the questions (I love those movies and I’m not sure I do) then send them in. You could win a copy of the Dirty Dozen. Not too shabby.

As of this minute Paul Kersey is ranked number one on AMCTV.com’s poll for the greatest male movie hero. It’s rare in this day and age to see Bronson getting this kind of respect.

You can vote to keep him there!

When Bronson says “Vote or Die”, you believe him!

I recently found an article on I-Mockery.com that clearly explains how to use the Three Seashells from the movie Demolition Man. This solution to the oft posed question “How do you use the seashells?” was taken from an interview Sylvester Stallone did with Ain’t it Cool News back in 2006.

In case you were unaware, in the film Demolition Man, toilet paper is obsolete and has been replaced by three seashells. In that film John Spartan was mocked for his lack of knowledge about how to use them. With this article you can make sure you’ll never be in that position.

Charlton Heston, who won the 1959 best actor Oscar as the chariot-racing “Ben-Hur” and portrayed Moses, Michelangelo, El Cid and other heroic figures in movie epics of the ’50s and ’60s, has died. He was 84. The actor died Saturday night at his home in Beverly Hills with his wife Lydia at his side.

Heston revealed in 2002 that he had symptoms consistent with Alzheimer’s disease, saying, “I must reconcile courage and surrender in equal measure.”

Publicist Michael Levine, who represented Heston for about 20 years, said the actor’s passing represented the end of an iconic era for cinema. “If Hollywood had a Mt. Rushmore, Heston’s face would be on it,” Levine said. “He was a heroic figure that I don’t think exists to the same degree in Hollywood today.”
