Of course, because it’s 2020...

“The real James Bond” died.

Damn.

 

[MsVee]

RIP Sean. The Best Bond imho.

But a wife beating prick, so there’s that ...

But a wife beating prick, so there’s that ...

But...JAMES BOND...didn’t do that. Right?

But a wife beating prick, so there’s that ...

really?

geez. now I can't enjoy Hunt for Red October anymore.

I am sad but also ambivalent because of the whole wife slapping thing. But like Spiky said, James Bond didn’t say it or do it. James Bond didn’t die either.

You only live twice.

You only live twice.

Live and let die.

 

[Webmommy]

Live and let die.

I am just glad Connery didn’t actually beat the living daylights out of his wife!

Also I really loved Roger Moore until Pierce Brosnan came along. Now I absolutely need Idris Elba to be 007. But RIP Sean Connery. I guess he was struggling with dementia in his latter years so maybe that’s why he said the horrible stuff.

Anyone ever see him in "playing by heart"?

It was an ensemble rom-com. Gina Rowlands plays his wife. The movie seems to have absolutely everyone in it (Angelina Jolie glows). If you are used to him as a two fisted tomcat, it gives an idea of his range with him as a devoted husband at the end of life

In one scene, Sean confeses to Gina to falling in love with another woman.

Gina.. " and you never slept with her"
Sean." No, never"
Gina.." and you didn't want to"
Sean ( seriously reflecting on what might have been).." oh god..YES"
Next scene,.. hell to pay


John Stewart plays the would be boyfriend of the romantically shy x files woman

X files" I hate the artificiality of dating. Look at you. I'm sure you don't wear Armani at home
John.." No,..(pausing, then smiling)... my home is strictly black tie"

Dying adult son and mother, in his hospice room

Son.. Let's play a game.. tell a true story
Mother reluctantly,"OK.. if that's what you want"
Son " you go first"
Mother( holding hand to heart and almost dancing as she turns to say) " I never loved your father, not even once.
Son ( a little shocked)" Don't hold back"
Mother " I was so relieved when he died"
Son ( almost gleefully)" Geeze... you are good at this"


When she recites Goodnight Moon to him as he finally succumbs to his illness, it is hard not to tear up


The whole movie is about love, all the forms it can take, how it breaks our hearts and makes us whole... Like I said, a rom-com

"Don't be an anger ball"

I haven’t seen this but now I might look for it!
