Best Bond... James Bond (1 Viewer)

Sean Connery just passed RIP legend

Sean Connery set the standard for James Bond, but he was so good in other roles.

From Ramirez in "Highlander" to Dr. Henry Jones Sr. in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" to Mason in "The Rock" to my two favorite portrayals of Captain Marko Ramius in "The Hunt for Red October" and Malone in "The Untouchables", he was a great actor.

One ping only for a legend. RIP, Sir Sean Connery.

First Roger and now Sean. I alway remember him for the role of Ramirez.

One ping, indeed.

For me, 007 ended when Connery was no longer Bond. All that followed were mere wannabees, and should have had different identification numbers (and several didn't even deserve one at all).

Carisma. You can't point to it. You can't touch it. But you will know it when you see it, because you are looking at Sean Connery.

He’s that charismatic that I got jealous when the missus commented on how sexy he looked... to be jealous of a 90 year old dead man just shows you how much charisma he had

Scottish News last night was:

20 minutes about big Sean dying (nation in mourning)
10 minutes of “there’s another lockdown and some more people died of coronavirus”
5 minutes of “the weather’s really shite here”

Just found a painting I did 23 years ago (scary) of Sean and a character from each of his first five films.

It was my thoughts exactly. I just didn't want to expose my art history roots.

That's pretty good, I say! Although there are shades of Jake Gyllenhaal in Sean Connery... never mind me, everyone's a critic!
