Well that's a fuckin' bummer.

Man, that's like when the world lost John Wayne. The end of an era.

RIP Sir
You'll always be the person i think of when i hear the name James Bond

Very sad to hear. One of the best moments besides 007, is his performance in The Rock especially the scene oh Nicholas' Cane character referencing 'his best'

Your Best

RIP, Commander Bond.

I think my favorite role of his was the hunt for red october. I don't know if it was his best acting. But somehow I liked it best.

Sad. Pussy Galore passed last year as well.

I liked Rising Sun too. RIP.

A Gracious man with a tremendous sense of humor, His acceptance speech after winning the academy award for best supporting actor for his role as Malone in the Untouchables:

SEAN CONNERY:
Good evening. Ladies and gentlemen, friends and a few enemies...I don't think there is anyone aware—or unaware, rather—in Hollywood or the rest of the world tonight that this is the 60th anniversary of these Academy Awards. And I just realized myself the other day that my first, one and only attendance was thirty years ago. Patience truly is a virtue. But in winning this award it creates a certain dilemma, because I had decided if I had the good fortune to win that I would give it to my wife, who deserves it. But this evening I discovered backstage that they're worth fifteen thousand dollars...and now I'm not so sure. Cherie, I'm only kidding, it's yours. But if such a thing as a wish accompanied this award mine would be that we ended the writers' strike. And I thank you all sincerely.

Rest easy Mr.Connery, You May have left us, but your example and inspiration remain..

RIP. Sad to see you go, sir Sean.

Damn, hate to hear that.

R.I.P. He was THE James Bond. Here's a scene from The Precidio:

One of the great one's for sure. RIP Mr Bond.

Sad news. And a bit of a weird coincidence. We've had blued versions of the PPK and PPK/S in the shop for a longer-than-expected while. I sold both in the last couple of days to gentlemen who referenced the JB character as their prime motivation. They must have had one of those premonition moments...RIP, Sir Sean Connery.

Agreed, Connery was Bond. But I too loved some of his other roles, Hunt for Red October and The Untouchables are two of my favorites.

There can be only one.

Damn. I know people don't live forever, but it's a little depressing watching your childhood film heroes inevitably pass on. RIP Sir Thomas Sean Connery.

RIP Mr. Connery
