Gooseberry Crumble 5,342 Posted October 31, 2020 An absolute movie legend. Iconic as Bond.No offence to the other actors but he is the definitive Bond . RIP. The end of an era. My first thoughts when I saw the sad news headlining on Sky News breaking news ticker were James Bond has died and that is 'hit' number 16 for the committee. Before I quickly remembered he wasn't on this years list. Sean Connery was also my first crush as a boy which pretty much 100% confirmed to me I was gay.No ambiguity at all.The crush was strong and overwhelming. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I genuinely don't like making criticisms of the committee, my posting history illustrates that. (Afterall they provide this website for all of us)But it is frustrating that if they hadn't of so foolishly dropped/ not included Jill Gascoigne, Little Richard and Sean Connery on this years list then we would now have broken the 2017 record. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True enough. But those 3 names I mentioned would be in addition to any further deaths that occur this year thus setting a new high record. Anyway whats done is done .Do you have any particular names in mind for the remainder of the year? For me Joanne Woodward, both Bobs Dole and Barker as well as Pierre Cardin especially come to the fore of my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Daredevil 1,189 Posted October 31, 2020 Gone, James Gone. You only live twice, Mr. Bond, so never say never again. Rest in peace, Sean Connery. I thought he was a brilliant Bond and a brilliant actor. He will be truly missed but his marvellous work will live on for generations to come. Here endeth the lesson. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
