I never said that you had no right to have an opinion. I just said that it was, in fact, worth nothing.

Here lets use a little knowledge shall we? Quote:
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2] | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interne...ntity_trolling
As for on topic I love every Heston Film I ever saw, and I saw a lot of them. I liked Omega Man a lot but I also enjoyed his EPIC films as well. I like Sci- Fi so Planet of the Apes was ok as well.

Rep Power: 160 | | | I thought he was great in Omega Man (I know, the afficionados will refer to Vincent Price - and that was a great performance for sure - but we're talking about Heston here).

When it was referred to in Will Smith's version I had to look up what the "third" movie was. ( Smith's version is " I am Legend")
And ya Heston was absolutely great. I never saw a stinker from him. Same with a host of actors from his time and just before. Now don't get me wrong, we have some greats now too. But they do not have the history yet that the older guys have.
Holden, Wayne, Stewart, and a bunch I can not even think of now.

"I Am Legend" was terrific, saw it on a huge screen in Canada a few months ago, totally enjoyed it.
Bill Holden, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart - I'm there, terrific actors, so many great films (one of my favourite westerns is still Broken Arrow with Jimmy Stewart).
