“Bond. James Bond.”

RIP Sean Connery, and thank you for your work.

I loved Sean Connery. My son broke the news to me several hours ago; I had been at work. His passing is very tough, though he lived a long, fruitful life. Back in the spring of '63, my sister took me to the little movie theater in Skokie, Illinois where we lived back then. I think she was dating one of the workers there. Anyway, I sat mesmerized by this new movie about a British secret service agent, James Bond. I was enthralled. Needless to say, "Dr. No" made a lasting impression on me.
I see where he passed away in Nassau, The Bahamas. Beautiful place; my parents took three vacations there and thoroughly loved the beauty and the people there.
I echo the words of the OP-----RIP, Sean Connery. Thank you for your work, indeed! You've been a wonderful part of my childhood, as a teen, as an ....., and even as an old man sharing your films with my son, who later shared his DVDs with me, who bought the entire BOND set from a lifetime friend who was dying of stomach cancer. I would also especially thank Sean for his great performance in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I know there are millions of us hurting bad right now....... --- Indiana Jones (Brian Powell)
I agree, another sad day for 2020 RIP Sir Sean Connery.
I forgot to add one of my favorite movie lines from him "We named the dog Indiana!".
Dam. Sad, sad, sad.

Very sad to hear of his passing. Love James Bond movies and used to love the annual movie marathon with my Dad years ago. Family legend says that Connery was my grandparents milkman in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Suprised this didn't get more pub. Just learned from this thread.
I had heard the news but just saw this thread.
How many of us learned how to be man from Sean Connery?
I don’t mean the killing of Russian agents, of course. But the confidence, the swagger, the signature cocktail, the card playing, the ability to throw and take a punch, the love of cars and planes and the love of sport: James Bond, personified by Sean Connery, shaped many a perception about masculinity and manhood for generations of movie goers.
As a film star, he is the last of his kind: a true movie star from Hollywood’s Golden Age who never lost a step, aged with grace, left the stage when the time was right and always hit the mark. And while he worked with the best of the best in Hollywood and portrayed a wide array of memorable characters in films like Marnie, The Great Train Robbery, Murder on the Orient Express, Highlander, The Hunt for Red October and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, he will obviously be best remembered as the man who best personified Ian Fleming’s secret agent with a license to kill.
Bond. James Bond.
Given that this is the CU Forums, here is one of my favorite cards that I own, period, that captures perfectly how I will always remember him...
