appetite4illusions Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I've fallen out of exploring pop princesses since Lorde came on the scene, some years ago. Billie Ellish is definitely the flavor of the minute and the pop artist most critics point at for being legitimate. Does the girl do anything but whisper seductively in her songs? Does she sing, conventionally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would almost bet on it. I was on the fence about whether or not they'd add one for Roger Moore since a few years have already passed, but now that two Bonds have passed between films it seems more likely. Bit of an unfortunately named film for a dedication, however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) there is only one bond to me, connery. moore was great too, for the humour. his movies are also legendary, but connery is the real bond. All the rest, are wannabees. craig could never convince me. he actually looks like he should have been the villain in one of the 60s movies. he reminds me of grant in from russia with love. as for brosnan and dalton; those seem to me really a poor man's bond.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 My mom loved Sean Connery. She loved him as the best Bond. He was such a great actor. I think he lived an amazing life and living to 90 is something!

That's actually Robert Shaw on the right, from From Russia With Love. Yeah, I liked both Connery and Moore as Bond. Connery was pretty much a badass, he was great in The Untouchables.

Connery was also great as Henry Jones Sr. in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 I will admit, the Robert Shaw/Daniel Craig comparison was funny. In 2005. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 The Dallas Morning News had a whole page obituary for Sean. Anyway, his son Jason, said he was suffering from a long illness and died peacefully at home with family. I guess if you live to 90 years old you have to expect some kind or poor health.

Sure, it’s an arbitrary consideration, but generally those who repeatedly and openly defend abusing women are not considered as having a fine moral character.

"the moral character" of a person is much more than that one single element, however. If you look hard enough, you can find fault with everyone. You only need to look at the two presidential candidates in the US, to discover many issues, both with trump and with biden. Clearly, Conney was very loved by his family, who knew him best. So I am confident he had a very, very fine moral character. Being loved by your family, is more than many people can lay claim to. If you die, surrounded by your loved ones, and they love you, then you can safely claim to have had a fine moral character. The stupid things you did and said during your life, don't matter. This does not deny anything about the questionable aspect of defending the abuse of women. But that is an insignificance. It may matter to you, but it didn't matter to his direct surroundings, who knew him much better than you. And thus, we all have to look at ourselves, look around, and see how loved we are by our surroundings. And perhaps, how much we love ourself? Because ultimately, we all know better than anyone else, how much of a nice moral character we really are.

Paula Hitler kept defending her brother until her death in 1960, so should we conclude by your logic that he too had a ''fine and moral'' character? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Connery grew up in a working class Edinburgh background in the 1930s and '40s, when it was a lot more common and acceptable even to give a woman a slap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

action Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) it is a sign of the times I guess, that people struggle to estimate the morality of people. It is my observation, that more and more, all sense of morality is quickly lost in our society. People are lost. And how should that be a surprise? what moral framework do people have anymore? For ages, you had the church to provide people with a sense of morality, and for a long time, this was sufficient. Now that the church is dead and buried, what has come into its place? The morality of twitter? You only need to have a quick glance to the world, to observe that all morality is lost.

I don't know much about Connery because I don't care about celebrities, but I doubt he and Hitler had much in common. I was merely arguing your flawed logic.
