Comments on: Charlton Heston, RIP http://blogs.e-rockford.com/movieman/2008/04/06/charlton-heston-rip/ When film critic Will Pfeifer isn’t watching movies, he’s reading about movies, talking about movies, thinking about movies or dreaming about movies. Now he shares that unhealthy obsession with you. From Hollywood hits to Japanese obscurities, from Oscar night to the summer season, he’s got movies on the brain — and on this blog.

The chimp's name was Bear, though I can't remember why. It’s about a trucker and a chimp (which, if you want to get technical, is an ape, not a monkey.)

Hence the name, BJ and the Bear. Movie Man, can you help settle this? You must know. I would think it would be about a bear. Hence the name, BJ and the Bear. Movie Man, can you help settle this?

I just didn't know! Don't beat me up. But...don't you think maybe a handshake mighta sufficed? Lend: BJ and the Bear? What? Movie, I told you I wasn’t THAT much of a movie man. I just didn’t know!

Lend: BJ and the Bear? What?

It's a touching moment. Trivia note: When Heston saw Kim Hunter (who played Zira) at a premiere of the movie, he reportedly didn't recognize her, having never seen her without makeup.

I don't mean it to be so -- may he rest in peace. But, can I ask, not being the movie genius that the Movie Man is....why, oh why, oh why is he about to French kiss an ape?

You know, I've been reading a lot of postings on various sites about Charlton Heston, and there's a common thread -- he seems to have been a genuinely nice, courteous guy who acted like anything but the stereotypical egotistical star. He will definitely be missed. Seconded, Pete — that was a great story.
