2020 and its License to Kill: RIP Sean Connery

[Maelstrom]

Sir Sean, like our sanity for many of us, has left departed this plane of existence and has moved on. I'll remember him fondly.

"With heart, faith and steel. In the end there can be only one."

[Razade]

Or one of the actors who played him. Sean Connery passed away today at the age of 90 in the Bahamas, apparently having been unwell for some time. Everyone drink a martini today. Shaken and not stirred.

[Lurkmoar]

I shall always remember Sean Connery in that crazy flick Zardoz first, simply because it is so not James Bond.

Mad props to Sean, made immortal in Highlander, now passing into a legend of the silver screen.

[Precure]

Dr. Henry Jones Sr. also passed away.

[The Glyphstone]

One ping. One ping only.

Godspeed, Captain Ramius.

"They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way. And that's how you get Capone."

R.I.P Officer Malone

[Millstone85]

This is sad.

[farothel]

He finally went the bridge too far.

RIP Major General Urquhart

[HandofShadows]

R.I.P. Mr. Connery.

Rip Captain Ramius

[Trafalgar]

RIP Squadron Sergeant Major Roberts

[RossN]

Rest in peace Dr Henry Jones Senior.

[Dire_Flumph]

RIP among the stars Draco. Even in your lesser movies, you were always nothing less than fantastic.

[ben-zayb]

RIP Allan Quartermain. I still can't believe that was his last role.

[Kareeah_Indaga]

Rest in peace Sir August de Wynter.

[Rogar Demonblud]

RIP Allan Quartermain. I still can't believe that was his last role.

I take it you haven't seen Sir Billi? He had the title role.

The first movie I saw him in was Murder on the Orient Express. I think there were at least four or five others before I saw him play Bond (definitely The Wind and the Lion and The Man Who Would Be King, probably The Longest Day and A Bridge Too Far, maybe The First Great Train Robbery).

Jeeze, how many of his movies have I watched? *checks Wikipedia* 34, that I remember.

[JadedDM]

Oddly enough, when I broke the news to my coworkers this morning, none of them (all in their twenties) had any idea who Sean Connery even was. Now I feel sad and old.

[Trafalgar]

RIP Brother William of Baskerville

[GrayDeath]

Farewell, Sean, Good tavels, and may you never run out of the Best Thing Scotland ever made: Good Whisky^^


RIP.

[Cikomyr2]

I think the first role I've ever see Sean Connery in was Richard Lionheart in Kevin Costner's Robin Hood.

A great performance in a great movie.

[The Glyphstone]

Alan Rickman was in that too....is Costner next?

[comicshorse]

Alan Rickman was in that too....is Costner next?

Or Morgan Freeman

Nah, I hear he's been building a law practice in New Mexico for the last five years.

And it worked because he believed it!

[Clertar]

May he rest in peace.

He's been my avatar since I first created this account years ago, and I will keep wearing it as proudly as ever.

If I had a hat on, I would take it off in respect for you.

Step 1: find dragon sized hat

Step 2: put on hat

Step 3: take off hat

RIP King Arthur, the only man who ever successfully escaped from Alcatraz.

Actually, at least three (possibly five, and even seven depending on how you define "successfully escaped") people successfully escaped Alcatraz. But that's not a really catchy slogan so they don't advertise those numbers.

You're telling me a Jerry Bruckheimer movie was not 100% accurate with the source material?!?!??!





Yes, I know First Knight probably played a little fast and loose with early medieval English history too.

Well, first off, the language they're speaking is just all wrong.
