James Bond dead. Sad day Sean Connery RIP.

Ah, the wife beating thing. That might be the answer to my long-standing question as to why SNL portrays him as they do on their SNL Jeopardy skits, which I LOVE but never quite understood. If you haven't watched them, you owe it to yourself. You have to watch about 3 before you start to get the in-joke that is his constant beratement of "Trebek" (Will Ferrell).

Lastly, Never Say Never again has underwater scenes in it from Ginnie Spring's ballroom entrance as well as Jug Hole's beautiful entrance. (The fight scene.)

I did not know that and will have to check out the movie, again. My fave as 007 were Connery and Craig.

Vale Sean Connery, the original and the best Bond... early films were pretty close to Fleming's books.

So many iconic scenes, but It was this one in Thunderball that got me interested in pneumatic spearguns.
I have a Technisub Jaguar, but sadly it did not come with the very lovely Claudine Auger

right on 007 is always Connery but Craig is a close second........Moore was the worst ...RIP 007

Nah, Roger Moore was the best Bond ever. See below...

The Bond you like reflects the age you are.

Ok, actually Roger Moore was not the best Bond ever, but my first fond memory of a James Bond movie was "For Your Eyes Only." So yeah, the biologists got it right with the imprinting thing!

RIP Sean Connery

Connery will always be Bond for me, but my favorite Connery movies were The Untouchables, The Rock, and Entrapment. I also liked Medicine Man and First Knight a ton. I had a really hard time with it when it came out that he hit women and thought that it could be justified.

There should have been only one, but this deserves an exception.

... Daniel brought the Bond character back towards the Bond of Ian Fleming's original books...

Some of us consider that to be exactly the problem.

Some of us consider that to be exactly the problem.

Pls elaborate.
