Sean Connery Dies at 90

Sean Connery, the first actor to portray James Bond and later one of the biggest and wealthiest stars in the history of film, has died at age 90.

Eon Productions, the film studio behind the James Bond films, confirmed the death in a statement on its website.

"We are devastated by the news of the passing of Sean Connery," read the statement from producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. "He was and shall always be remembered as the original James Bond whose indelible entrance into cinema history began when he announced those unforgettable words — 'The name's Bond... James Bond' — he revolutionised the world with his gritty and witty portrayal of the sexy and charismatic secret agent. He is undoubtedly largely responsible for the success of the film series and we shall be forever grateful to him."
NPR

I know he held some shitty opinions about women, but the man was still a huge part of my childhood, and this sucks.

    I knew it was a matter of time, but it still sucks.

    The man was a staple of my childhood due to dad enjoying james bond.

    They changed Bond’s drink from “stirred, not shaken” to “shaken, not stirred” because Connery couldn’t say the original line right.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    It was "shaken, not stirred" in the books long before they made the movies though.

    Well I’ll be. That was an anecdote I had heard a long time ago (when I was a kid basically) and I am now learning was false.

    Who the hell would make that up

    It also shows that for an alcoholic Bond was terrible at making drinks. All you're going to get by shaking it is breaking up the ice and watering your drink down.

    Yeah it is funny that the bond films gave an entire generation a backwards understanding of the correct way to order a martini :D

    Or he was purposely watering it down so he could be at least a little more sober while he’s working?

    the hunt for red October is one of my favorite movies.

    I've honestly never seen more than 5 minutes of any Bond movie he was in though.

    90? A good run. Nothing sad about that

    From Russia With Love is the only one of the Connery Bonds that holds up unquestionably well, with no asterisks

    Goldfinger and Thunderball are okay for what they are, as strictly formula Bonds (with more problematic elements)

    the other three are bad movies

    To be fair, the interview where he pretty much bragged about it was over 30 years ago. Lots of people have changed since the 80s. But it was an extremely bad look even back then.

    Never saw any of his Bond movies, never saw Hunt for Red October, never saw any of the Highlander stuff. Only one movie I saw him in: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

    Sean Connery died a rich tax evader who beat women.

    Also I guess he was in some old films or whatever.

    I do like the anecdote that he was offered Gandalf, refused because he wasn't into that nerd shit, regretted not taking it, then took the next nerd shit role he was offered, which was LXG, then he said alright I'm done.
