  • all cool from my left parted side too. No offence meant, @talos7

  • I just watched a rare Connery movie yesterday - The Next Man. Connery is almost Bond-like in certain scenes. He falls for an assassin female, he is suited throughout, and wears a terry towel top when he is in the Bahamas, sporting short hair and …

  • talos7 wrote: » I agree. I really like Connery's hair in his first 3 films, with GF being the first in which he was wearing a hairpiece. I like it off of his forehead; by Thunderball, he was wearing it straight over. Based on personal taste, I've …

  • I am not overly impressed with any of Craig's haircuts as Bond. I think he has often looked better with sometimes slightly longer length during the premier roadshows afterwards when promoting his films. SF is without doubt the worst haircut of an…
  • I just watched The Hill again this afternoon. Great movie, great acting all round. Connery gets top billing yet he isn't really the main character.
  • Anyone not ever seen The Offence, I suggest you watch it as an honour to the big man. It was no doubt his finest moment as an actor on screen, where it really showed off how talented he was as an actor. That should have been his Oscar (as much as I …
  • very strange day for me. We got married at the same church as the big man, the same venue for the wedding reception, and he dies on the same day that I met my wife 20 years ago. Today is our anniversary when we met. Very strange day. :(
  • Devastated. RIP to the first and greatest Bond of them all. My childhood hero, and idol I have spent a lifetime mimicking.
