First and best James Bond now gone, RIP Sean Connery

[lyman]

Personally I can't stand Daniel Craig, at least playing Bond. I'll always sterotype him as that wimpy charactor in "Road to Pedition".

Agree though that Connery set the standard---everyone else that followed just played the part.

I grew up during the 60's but just didn't get into all the 007 fantasy. To me the main characters were the women (most of them anyway).

I saw Road to Perdition years ago, and don't remember a thing about his role, guess I need to re watch it,

he was good in LayerCake, and a few other movies,

but remember , he was playing a role,


I think he is a close second to Connery, and I do enjoy his movies,

I really like the way the writers decided to add little (and not so) easter eggs here and there and keep the story somewhat similar, but add a lot of backstory ,

He is the one and only James Bond!

I liked some of his movies. Some very good performances. Apparently, he was a difficult man. He is on a few lists. Women, money. Well, most of us have a few flaws. Just have to try to get out of the way when necessary.

Connery had two tattoos probably from his Royal Navy days;

“Scotland Forever”
And
“Mum and Dad”

Says a lot right there.

I really enjoyed his performance in THE UNTOUCHSBLES and in THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER
