The best Bond. He will be missed.
October 31st, 2020 at 9:35 AM ^
He was Bond! No one else came close.
A toast to him, with a ? — shakened not stirred.
October 31st, 2020 at 8:50 AM ^
Thanks to him I'll never look at an album cover the same.
October 31st, 2020 at 9:34 AM ^
"I'll take anal bum cover for $7,000, Alex" should be engraved on the tombstone.
October 31st, 2020 at 8:51 AM ^
One of the all time greatest. OG is right, and not just because of bond films. Bummer.
October 31st, 2020 at 8:51 AM ^
Well, this is a crappy way to kick off an otherwise nice morning. He was an outstanding actor, and is still the best Bond. And it isn’t even close...
RIP Sean...
October 31st, 2020 at 8:52 AM ^
Damn.
So many great characters and personas - and let's not forget perhaps the best spoof character in snl history.
An admirable personal story as well.
Will be missed.

Connor MacLeod: You look like a woman, you stupid haggis.
Ramirez: Haggis? What is haggis?
Connor MacLeod: Sheep's stomach stuffed with meat and barley
Ramirez: And what do you do with it?
Connor MacLeod: You eat it!
Ramirez: How revolting!
October 31st, 2020 at 9:48 AM ^
You never prepared me for that, you Spanish peacock.
October 31st, 2020 at 9:58 AM ^
A Scot playing an Egyptian (who worked for the King of Spain) mentoring an American-born Frenchman playing a Scot.. Have to love it.
October 31st, 2020 at 8:53 AM ^
Sad. A true legend
October 31st, 2020 at 8:57 AM ^
Didn’t realize he was 90. Well done sir. Lived a great long life.
October 31st, 2020 at 8:57 AM ^
What a year 2020.
He was terrific as James Bond and in the Untouchable, The Name of the Rose, The Man Who Would be King, The Rock, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and Robin and Marian.
He had a rough and tumble beginning but was clever enough to realize that to play Bond and other roles he had to broaden his experience.

Never forget Darby O'Gill and the Little People. I was 8 when I saw it and it was the scariest Walt Disney movie I ever watched. The Banshee had me under the bed for a month.
October 31st, 2020 at 9:49 AM ^
Or Zed in Zardoz.
October 31st, 2020 at 9:02 AM ^
RIP to an absolute legend, some of the greatest movies of all time were due to his talents
October 31st, 2020 at 9:04 AM ^
One ping, Visili. One ping only, please.
RIP Captain Ramius
October 31st, 2020 at 9:04 AM ^
Godspeed, Marko.
October 31st, 2020 at 9:07 AM ^
Somehow, he never seemed to age in my mind. Rest in peace.
October 31st, 2020 at 9:10 AM ^
Dang!! He is my favorite of all time, JAMES BOND!!!
October 31st, 2020 at 9:16 AM ^
I feel old today. Sad and old. Goodbye Mr. Bond.
October 31st, 2020 at 9:21 AM ^
2020, wtf...
October 31st, 2020 at 9:27 AM ^
"When did you say you have to leave?"
"Immediately. ... Almost immediately."
RIP.
October 31st, 2020 at 9:30 AM ^
90 is a great run. RIP.
October 31st, 2020 at 9:36 AM ^
"You expect me to talk?"
"No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die."
Nobody did it better.
Most underappreciated movies: The Molly Maguires and The Man Who Would Be King
October 31st, 2020 at 9:41 AM ^
One of the greatest scenes in movie history. Connery just stole this flick.
October 31st, 2020 at 9:44 AM ^
And there goes all hope for LXGII: The Rise of Quatermain. RIP Sean Connery.
October 31st, 2020 at 9:47 AM ^
This is a gut punch. He's probably my favorite actor of all time. Rest in peace Mr. Bond, James Bond.
October 31st, 2020 at 10:31 AM ^
And able to pull off the perfect "holy shit, its him!" cameo.
October 31st, 2020 at 10:37 AM ^
+1 for one of the best cameos ever.
October 31st, 2020 at 9:47 AM ^
Bummer, but he is back with Pussy Galore now. Best character name ever.
October 31st, 2020 at 9:51 AM ^
“He’s in the belly of that steal beast”
October 31st, 2020 at 9:58 AM ^
He also professed to slapping women around when “they just had to get in the last word.”
so... I’m gunna say... mixed bag?
October 31st, 2020 at 9:58 AM ^
Welcome to the rock
October 31st, 2020 at 10:10 AM ^
2020 continues to suck.
October 31st, 2020 at 10:20 AM ^
From my first movie I was old enough to watch by myself at the theater, "Thunderball" in the mid-sixties all the way through his long and glorious career, nobody like him. Connery, Sean Connery.
October 31st, 2020 at 10:31 AM ^
RIP Mr. Bond ?
October 31st, 2020 at 11:09 AM ^
There can only be one!
RIP Sir Sean Connery

Sir Sean had a longtime home in the Bahamas close to where our family stays. He used to go to a restaurant called Ambrosia frequently for breakfast and sit quietly in the back. People would come in and out and never recognize him. The staff weren’t big fans, apparently he was a lousy tipper. RIP Mr. Bond.
