What Will's Watching

Number One: Charlton Heston plays Ron 'Cat' Catlan' the past him prime starting quarterback of the New Orleans Saints. It's a period piece now. A fascinating time capsule of 1969. Interestingly, not one reference to the Vietnam War or hippies. Heston has the build of a QB but his on field scenes really aren't convincing, one gets an uncanny valley affect. Heston drives a convertible a lot while wearing aviators and we kept thinking, there's Omega Man. Otherwise Mr. Heston's Catlan is introspective, brooding, arrogant, mean, lonely and selfish as he comes to grips with his career being over.
