In reply to the discussion: Aw man. Sean Connery? Dead at 90 [View all]DFW
(59,896 posts)58. A friend of mine once called my wife "that Bond girl you married." He meant Connery's Bond.
Although he was great in everything I saw him in, two of my favorites were obscure ones:
Finding Forrester and Entrapment.
Completely different roles. In one, he played a famous author who lived like a recluse in a New York apartment, and in the other, he played a retired cat burglar who took an apt student, played by Catherine Zeta Jones, as his protégée to loot some "impossible to rob" place inside the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.
He became an institution unto himself. He will never be replaced.
James Clyburn, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Mick Jagger had better place themselves in bomb-proof, virus-proof cocoons for the rest of the year. We don't have a lot of people left to lose.

I always feel like it's tempting fate to make predictions of great things on NYE

I was telling my sister about that movie after I saw it the first time.

Most today only know that movie as the source of the "You're the Man Now, Dog!" meme

I remember I was about 12, and in the middle of reading all of the James Bond adventures.

90 is a good life. If I live to be 90, I will do old man back flips on my birthday.
