No Mr Bond. I expect you to die

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Few weeks ago was an information about his 90th b-day. Now this. It's not a good news, yet at this age it's nothing unexpected.

Thanks for all movies. :notworthy:

I watched Goldfinger on Saturday night. Classic Bond.

90 years, what a milestone! We should all be so lucky. I'm not a fan of classic Bond (sorry) so I watched The Untouchables at the weekend, instead. Great film, great performance from Connery, RIP.

It was Hunt for Red October for me, just brazenly using a Scottish accent for a Latvian-born Russian submarine captain.

Yep, as with The Untouchables, he's an Irish cop with a Scottish accent because Connery. I can imagine the discussions, let's say for Highlander, and you, Sean, are playing a Spaniard. Brilliant, I love Spain, but my Spaniard will have a Scottish accent. Er. Problem? No, of course not..

am pretty sure by that point he'd lived in the US longer than he was ever in Scotland, so hell why not play a spaniard :lol:

I just did a quick check and Ramirez from Highlander was actually Egyptian :lol: God bless you Sean Connery, you were aware of the rules but chose to ignore them.

Pity about the views on hitting women, mind.

Yeah that was a serious problem, and people are right to pick up on it. Easy to brush it under the carpet and not 'speak ill of the dead'.

TBH looking back on anybodys life you could probably find a load of unsavoury jokes, comments etc.
Not saying that its not important but there should also be a certain context in the whole narrative.

Well, true, but it would have been a bit unintelligible to Connor MacLeod (even more unintelligible to a man who probably only spoke Scots Gaelic) - since Ramirez comes from ancient Egypt, how would he have explained immortality? "Hippo bird snake, urinating dog, bird bird pyramid, Bangle impersonator, sphinx bullrush ankh"?

And while Mr. Connery's views on hitting women were deplorable, I think we can all agree that it was equally wrong for Dr. No's henchman to point a gun at Mr. Flufflesworth.
