I was introduced to Mr Connery in the 2nd half of his career (Untouchables, Hunt for Red Oct, The Rock, etc). Knew he had been 007 but didn’t see him as such until 40yrs after he made those films. Great filmography top to bottom. Seemed like a principled man as well. Will miss knowing he’s out there somewhere.
“One ping only” in honor of Sean Connery today.
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
The James Bond by which all others were measured; and came up short. Think I will carry one of my Walthers today; and have a Martini, shaken not stirred.
Connery was a good Bond, but I think the most underrated bond was Timothy Dalton. People hate on him but he gave a new side to Bond that had never been seen before. My favorite Connery role was in Highlander
Connery played Bond back when the stories were written by Ian Flemming. When they ran out of Flemming books, they started improvising and things changed. A while back we watched the reworked version of Casino Royale with Daniel Craig. It has far more action that the earlier Flemming books. They were more intrigue while the recent ones are more action. David Niven starred in the original Casino Royale. It was way back when and I don't remember it at all but I'm sure it was slower moving.

Sean Connery as James Bond was the epitome of COOL.All guys of my age wanted to be him,and those women(HOT)!
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience
He was good at his craft. I used to view him as the best Bond of all times but the more I see Daniel Craig the more my opinion sways that he is the best. Craig has the same polished side but also exhibits a lot of rough edges and likes to get his revenge as well. Either way, RIP, hope you enjoyed your time on earth. God Speed.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

In real life it would take a hard body to do the stuff that Bond does on film. Craig is a hard body, much more so than Connery was.

Craig is also a big time Anita-Gun Commie.
I always thought Pierce Bronson was one of the better Bond’s. I’m probably in the minority on that opinion though.

The Saturday Night Live skits on it were hilarious.

I think it was Roger Moore who took over for Connery after a long run of Connery films. I remember he'd had a big fight on a beach and of course beat the snot out of his attackers. As he walked away with his clothes still neat, he said something like "I'd like to see the other Bond do that without messing up his shirt".
That was George Lazenby. BEST replacement for Connery..
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
