Sean Connery, 90
« on: October 31, 2020, 08:44:55 AM »
We’re all getting old... Several years ago when my boys were little, we took a buddy of theirs on a camping trip, and we had so much fun all sitting around the campfire laughing about which of us had the best Sean Connery voice impersonation. We ended up talking in Connery-speak on and off for the entire weekend. We still laugh about that trip. Rest In Peace.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Saddened to read this. He was an inspirational character for me growing up and always seemed the ultimate class act.

RIP Sean

If you wanna experience a 70s acid trip without any drugs, watch Connery in “Zardoz”. Very bizarre sci-fi with a very unexpected twist at the end.

Wow,  didn't realize he was 90!     RIP

Maybe break out the Goldfinger DVD tonight.   One of the best of the earlier Bond movies!

Best 007, period.

Who hasn't tried that accent and those catchy quips?
