The Charleton Heston Theroy
The theory is pretty basic: given any line spoken by Charleton Heston in a movie there is a 95% chance you can add a Coordinating Conjunction (For And Nor But Or Yet So) or a Semicolon-Conjunctive Adverb (e.g. "...; However, ...") followed by the phrase "I'll blow your damn head off" (allowing changes for grammar) and the meaning and tone of the line will remain unchanged.
