I wonder if any Bond alumni will be doing this...

I'd hope so! These are always very cool events, I recently got to see the 1979 tribute to Hitchcock on The Masterpiece Universal DVD set.

Yes, if only for one night.

And, the more that I think about it, I hope that all the Bond alumni will be gracious enough to appear.

Because, if it weren't for the outstanding groundwork laid by Sir Sean -- the matrix around which all future Bonds were molded -- chances are very good that the Bond movies would not have lasted much past his withdrawal from the scene.

Right, as always Wendy. I too, hope they show up.

Q- what disk is that Hitch tribute on? I already have the previous VHS release and I wonder if it's worth me getting. The quality was poor.

Thank you, Major B.!

The presence of the other Bonds would achieve three things:

1. Courtesy to their predecessor;

2. Respect to their predecessor;

3. (incidentally) publicity > increased box-office revenue for CR.

Of course, the most important items are the first two. One of the most valuable rewards in life is the achievement of the respect of one's peers -- it is worth far more than gold.

Conversely, disrespect, as well as ingratitude, are two most unadmirable, and unattractive qualities.

Interestingly, those last two are the very nouns which most often spring to my mind whenever someone makes mention, or I read, of Albert Broccoli's funeral. Out of all the five actors who worked for him, portraying James Bond in his movies, only one displayed the (what should have been) natural respect and courtesy of attending Mr. Broccoli's funeral (and, incidentally, acting in the honoured capacity of pallbearer).

I speak, of course, of none other than Timothy Dalton.

[Major Bloodnok]

I know the others attended a tribute to Cubby at some point.

[Dalton's Wendy]

I know the others attended a tribute to Cubby at some point.

Very possibly they did.

However, while there can always be tributes, there's only one funeral. Kind of like a wedding -- in terms of importance, not as an analogy!

One attends a service when it occurs, not when it's convenient to arrange, or to attend, a facsimile.

It is my understanding that all the men in question were invited to the premier event.

Ah well ... good point there Wendy. 

Thank you most humbly for your recognition, my Laird.

As to the Lifetime Achievement Award for Sir Sean, I shall let you drive if I can have a shot at FRWL on the PS2 in the stretch limo. 

YOU -- shall -- LET -- ME -- drive???????

????????????????????????????????????????????

Somehow, I seem to think that someone has mixed up his pronouns!

Excuse me while I choke on my sgian dubh!

Well .... as long as it doesn't clash with the June presentation. You will let me know you can manage ??

I can manage anything!

The question is: shall I be in the mood when the time comes?

You may well be in a mood, but will you be able to manage?

There's no point in putting on the Bonnie Prince Charlie if you've not got a date on your arm? Is there?

What is the man saying?

Clearly, the good Doctor has been having a battle with a bottle of Scotch this evening . . . and the Scotch won!

[Oh!  The Scots brute treats me as if I were nothing more than a little feather-brain!  Watch THIS, folks!  )

How simply darling!!!!

By any chance . . . is that a MacGrrrrrrrrregor plaid? Or a Campbell?

And . . . what on earth is that metallic thing in the lower forefront of the photograph?

Is that a gun in his trews . . . or is he just happy to see me????

(or . . . is it a sporrrrrrrrrrran?)

P.S.  I would look very adorable in one of those -- if they rent it in a size 0!

P.P.S.  Does the model come with it????

Tartan not known. Trews not known/ not there?

There is a sporran in sight, but you can't see if he's happy to see you.

He also comes in other colours!!!

Ummmmm . . . is he bigger than a breadbox? [see thread "Sir Sean Connery sets sights on cartoon return"]

Yes it does, it's short for:

"That's correct and here's a wink"

Listen, you monstous brute, is there someone in sunny Caledonia to whom I could offer some sort of bribe to get you to stop tormenting me?

Being a small female, with a correspondingly small mind, it is very difficult for me to have to

1) think of clever rejoinders; and,

2) translate Gaelic humour

AT THE SAME TIME!

I am only here for fun -- not for gainful employment!

So . . .failing the likelihood of the foregoing contingency (unless, that is, my darling MR MALCOLM SWEETIE will take on the job for me) --

-- can you, DR BROADBEATER, kindly make like the sheep . . .

. . . and flock off????

Well .. that's friendly ... I can get that at home without CBn

I am puzzled as to where 2) appears and correct 1) clever rejoinders are my speciality!!!!!

No, my dear physician -- I am the one who makes the clever rejoinders!

Did you not appreciate my witticism about the sheep . . . other creatures native to your delightful country, just like the dear little haggis?

Is that a threat . . . or a promise?

No .... it's a thread and a promise !!!!

Sounds to me like the lesser of two weevils!

Anyway, can I count on seeing you at the Award presentation ... I'll meet you in the bar ... I'll be wearing a double Campari with a dash of soda; what can I get for you ??

Yes, you can . . . I'll be the one in the double white foxes . . .

Just give me an hour to write out the list!

This Lifetime Achievement Award we know is being presented to Sir Sean on 8 June in LA.

Do we know if the event is an Awards gala for Sir Sean only ie are there any other awards???

From what I recall, the event is strictly in celebration of the life's work of the honouree.

There was a Harris poll yesterday that put Sir Sean as 9th favourite actor for 2005: http://www.eonline.c...1,18193,00.html

Only he and Tom Hanks maintained their rank on the list from last year.

This just reinforces this Lifetime Achievement Award he is getting. How many other movie stars of his era could maintain that level of popularity and favouritism ???

Only one of whom I can think -- John Wayne. And he's been dead for 26 years!

Which just goes to prove: hope springs eternal.

[Dalton's Wendy]

"The Sun"(article by subscription) reported an exclusive interview on 5 April when Sir Sean was at the "Dressed to Kilt" show in Manhattan as part of Tartan Week.

Dr B and Dee Double U will be striving to get there !!!

Hmmmm . . . don't know if I could stand the sight of all that tartan (!) coming at me at one time.

Particularly if, the night before, I had had a bit too much of that liquid fire which they bottle in bond in that country of yours . . .

[Dalton's Wendy]

Solved ... you only need watch for one tartan coming !!!
Ancient Farquharson, in case you have forgotten ... and I wont be changing ...

I hope you'll at least be bathing!

Referring to The Committee rules, I agree you may have a problem from the night before. As a member, under section 3 sub-section b, para 12, I would be charged with the following: DUTY:

12 Select a glass: a tulip-shaped glass is preferable as it will collect and concentrate the aromas.

Can I use one of my Waterford "Powerscourt" pattern? They were wedding gifts.

I can recommend 4 comforts for slight overindulgence:

1. Fernet Branca. A little glass of. It smells like weedkiller and correspondingly jolts one system from the fright.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeew! Fernet-Branca!

Icky, ucky, and sicky! Barf! I wouldn't drink that poison at a goat's wedding! I wouldn't drink it, if it stood between me and life itself!

3. Most famously, and worthy in it's own right ... not schtirred and not schaken ... the Other National Drink ... I need not say what it is, except to say that it is made in Scotland from iron girders, some forfeited from the Forth Rail Bridge.

It's . . . it's . . . don't tell me now, it's . . .

TURPENTINE!!!!

By the way -- your reference a few lines above to it's: You meant to say its (possessive) and not it's (contraction for it is)

Tailpiece (p13): An inital moderate and clean sweetness is rapidly followed by a mouthful of deep notes, with tobacco smoke and strong espresso coffee, which then gives way to treacle sweetness and liquorice.

Alternatively, I could lie down behind my car when it is in idling mode, and just take a deep inhale from the exhaust system!

Now ... what does that describe ... a Taste, a Kiss, maybe Both ?? ...

I repeat . . . it describes exactly the feeling one experiences after the inhalation of the muffler of one's car!

I am actually going to this awards ceremony. My friend got the tickets last week. Very excited. Sean is my favorite actor so this should be pretty cool.
