Yes, yes, we all know: great artists are often absolute jerks. The George Washington of Bondom wove a spell so potent, nearly half a century was needed to deliver us a Lincoln in the form of Daniel Craig to free us our chains.

I love Sean's first four Bond films, I don't dispute their greatness...but I say goodbye to him.

And to the toxic waste that trails him: images of a swaggering brute who allegedly put a fist in his wife's face...a megalomaniac who had one trick, a great one, he played for half a century, transforming any role he got into his own image. The big dope couldn't even be bothered to attempt a Russian accent in Hunt for Red October. A Scottish accent did just fine!

Dan's Lincoln has liberated me from my loathing for certain Bonds. But those are other stories for other threads. For now, I stand happy and free on the shore, waving goodbye to an old man sailing away on a leaking ship with MeMe! on the side.

And you? Any Conthing got your goat?

dodge. I'm gonna leave you my buttocks in my will. :tup:


How can I possibly argue when LALD is your favorite film? :(
By the way, would they make decent ashtrays or maybe party favors?

They're not that big, but you maybe able to park your bike in them. :)

Speaking of "fanny" and "pussy" I won't go there. (except on the odd occasion). :tup:



Your retort was worth the wait and there're not butts about that! :D

LOL

Andy Garcia weighs in on Sean's commitment to his Art:

Andy Garcia, who played opposite Connery's Oscar-winning supporting role as a Chicago cop in The Untouchables, said the actor tended to show up for rehearsals in "red, polyester golf pants" so he could drift away periodically to the links.

"He worked for, like, five minutes after 18 holes of golf. After the scene I said, 'That was very clever of you, you came in already dressed for golf, you play the scene at the end of the day, you came in and said one line, they get a big close-up of you and the scene is over.'


He said, 'It's not my first barbecue.'"

The man is so cool! I bet he got paid like a million dollars for those five minutes.
