Thanks for the absurdity, Mr. Heston

As many of my friends know, Planet of the Apes is one of my all-time favorite movies. Of course, the film's appeal is mostly due to Heston's screaming, cursing performance as Taylor, the cynical Earthling astronaut who left the world of "maniacs" behind, in search of something better; only to find that they had blown the whole thing up with... well, with guns and stuff. With an ironic twist of fate that parallels the surreal turn of events in the movie, Heston later returned to Earth and became an advocate for the NRA.

Watch the following clips in order. It has a strange effect.
