ejp626 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Posted October 31, 2020 RIP - I imagine there will be a lot of people settling in for a Bond marathon this weekend. Quote
ghost of miles Posted October 31, 2020 Report Posted October 31, 2020 The Bond films will obviously be the lead talking point for most remembrances, but my favorite Connery role is in Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade: Quote

Fantastic actor beyond his Bond days. RIP Quote

Milestones Posted November 2, 2020 Report Posted November 2, 2020 Absolutely indelible as Bond, but he was a man who made a lot good movies and had a greater range than most people would expect. As Bond, he will always take me back to my childhood. He's the perfect fantasy for the male child of 12-15. R.I.P. Quote
GA Russell Posted November 2, 2020 Report Posted November 2, 2020 RIP. The Man Who Would Be King was my favorite as well. Quote

duaneiac Posted November 2, 2020 Report Posted November 2, 2020 A great actor can do so much with just four words. Quote
sgcim Posted November 2, 2020 Report Posted November 2, 2020 He used to joke that he had been at the same school as Tony Blair. "I delivered milk to Fettes when I was a milkman", he'd explain. He had a brilliant wife, Michelline, who was well-versed in philosophy. She had a premonition about the French stage play, "Art". She advised Connery to buy the foreign rights to it. He did so, and it earned him a fortune. My fave film of his was "MWWBK" Quote
duaneiac Posted November 3, 2020 Report Posted November 3, 2020 Was there ever any attempt at all to star Sean Connery in a major motion picture production of Macbeth? I would have loved to have seen that. There's no demand that Macbeth be a younger man and even elderly men can still have ambition (see: current events), so even a 1990's production of "The Scottish Play" (with perhaps Dame Helen Mirren as Lady M) would have been viable. Did Mr. Connery perhaps not consider himself enough of a Shakesperean actor? I mean, if Mel Gibson could star in Hamlet . . . Quote
sgcim Posted November 4, 2020 Report Posted November 4, 2020 Another film he really showed his tremendous range in was "The Offense (1973), where he played a detective interrogating a suspected sex offender. Probably his most serious role as far as zero comedic content was involved. Quote

Did he at least not try his low-rent Nicholson impersonation in the role? Quote
Dmitry Posted November 30, 2020 Report Posted November 30, 2020 Good movie. I watched it again recently, after about 25 years. No, Slater doesn't present as a Nicholson-lite here. He does have a tonsura. Umberto Eco is a thinking man's Dan Brown. Quote
