Friday movie pick(s)

by chuckofish

Today we toast Charlton Heston (1923-2008), actor and Episcopalian, on his birthday. Since I was a child, I always liked Charlton, in everything from The Big Country (1958)

He never disappointed. And he made a lot of good movies besides Ben Hur.

Tonight I will watch one of them. Maybe two.

It is also the birthday of Frederick Remington (1861-1909), artist and Episcopalian, who would have enjoyed painting/sculpting Charlton Heston I think.

Besides this I have no big plans for the weekend. Some puttering maybe, between naps. The weather has (finally) cooled off and I wish I could take a walk, but I’ll have to settle for sitting on the patio and maybe trimming some ivy.

I’m not complaining. It’s all good.
