Believe It's been a year.
Hey may be gone, but he'll never be forgotten.
It is indeed hard to believe it has been a year. He certainly has been on my mind a lot.
Exactly.
Some tributes in The Express.
Not a great or even very good film, but an enjoyable programmer. Clint Walker and Roger Moore are a very odd pairing but they have some chemistry--Moore plays the more mischievous partner. His Irish accent didn't sound terrible or overdone to me, but I'm probably a lousy judge in such matters, being American. It was good of the Warner Archive to release this slice of early Moore on DVD.
A lovely man...a hero of TV and cinema,bless him.
When (and how) did you meet him, @barryt007?
His wife was there both times as well.
Actually I think I met him another time too.
Lucky you! Hid did do a bit of touring when he had a book out, but to meet him by chance at a theatre! That must have been fun!
Of all the Bonds, I think Roger, Pierce and George would be the ones to meet. Sean, Timothy and Daniel doesn't seem like the talkative types, if you ask me.
As for the other Bond's I would agree with you on that..i think Tim might be approachable on a good day,but Sean and Daniel I don't know.
George would talk to you if you paid him.
I'd give Tim the benefit of the doubt, unless he was dining out when you approached him.
Connery’s eventual passing will undoubtably be sad but not quite in the same way in my view.
With Sean it's more respect for his sheer awesomeness. More distant. Less relatable.
Exactly. Sean is a great icon but nothing more.
Yeah, Tim might be an exception. Haven't really seen many interviews and similar with him, and in the few I've seen, he's been like Daniel in similar situations. Not the ideal interview object. Might have to do with who's doing the interview too. Graham Norton is one of few I can think about that makes people really open up (mostly with fun personal stories) - much helped with the access of alcohol, of course!
Haha, that might be true! :))
Personally I would never approach anyone - no matter how 'big name' they might be, if they were dining out. That's really one of the situations where people should be left to their food and company, if you ask me.
I used to watch that a heck of a lot in my younger years.
Pierce was Bond when I grew up, but Sir Roger’s Bond films really appealed to me more. I think I became a Bond fan out of being a fan of Sir Roger initially.
My grandfather died when I was four years old. I’ve been told he liked to watch James Bond films and loved Roger Moore’s take on the role. I really like that.
He touched a lot of people's hearts..more than he realised.
You are very right @bondsum. When Connery departs this world it will undoubtably be the passing of a cinematic giant and of course it will be a sad event.
But Connery himself was a lot more private compared to Moore who was easily the most “accessible” Bond actor in terms of his relationship with the fans.
Moore is also the only Bond actor I actually have memories of meeting in person (other than Craig who I briefly stood opposite at the SF premier).
So yes, Connery is the best Bond (and probably the better actor) but Moore the man was the one who seemed more endearing.
(And the first Bond I saw in the cinema was actually Pierce in 1997).
