Sean Connery: The king is dead

[netzerkaiser]

I remember my dad telling me he worked wih his brother on lorries, early '60's, & there's this loch in Scotland & theres this phenomenon rarely seen that they both experienced where the sky lights up as mirror image, 'mirage', of the loch..

RIP big man..

My favourite S. Connery's role was William of Baskerville in "The Name of the rose". And Yours?

Bond, James Bond.

I've never been fan of the Bond series, but it's true, S. Connery's Bond films are masterpieces in their genre. Same for Roger Moore's Bonds.

But the humanity he shows in this, Zizu, & Chris Lamberts performance too... its fucking beautiful... let no man deny!

I am 007 aficionado. Connery was my first Bond, saw all of his 007 films in the '70s in cinemas, mostly as double features (this was pre home video). They say your first Bond is your favourite Bond... Maybe that's true, but Connery defined cool and the role. Women wanted him, men wanted to be him. Subsequent Bond are okay, but none will ever fill his shoes. As an actor he was much more than Bond: The Hill, The Great Train Robbery, Robin and Marian, The Rock, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Hunt for Red October, The Untouchables... He was exceptional in just about every role he took. I was very sad to hear of his passing. Yes, he was a misogynist, but I chalk that up to the era in which he grew up.

And then that crazy sci-fi movie with an impossibly beautiful Charlotte Rampling around 1975!

See, we do have something in common!

The Hill was one of the most powerful anti-establishment movies I've ever seen. It touched your guts - like Cool Hand Luke.

He didn't care, did he? Respect grows by the day.

He was a chauvinistic wife beater.
That deseves to be mentioned, not just the idolization. Just sayin`....
