You can't escape it: as I'm typing this post a newscaster just referred to the murky death of a member of the British Secret Intelligence Service as a "James Bond mystery." On Sean Connery's 80th birthday I want to note the vigorous, inspiring post-Bond career he forged with terrific work for legendary directors like John Huston in "The Man Who Would Be King," Brian De Palma in "The Untouchables," Fred Schepisi in "The Russia House," Philip Kaufman in "Rising Sun" and Steven Spielberg in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade."

I *like* furry men with pony tails wearing breech clouts!
[but maybe that’s just me...I also think codpieces are long overdue for a comeback]

Great on screen but the few people I know who have spent time with him, and the two ghost-writers who walked away from working with him on a bio, all say he is a miserable human being.

NONE, NONE NONE have ever touched Sean as being the best Bond. He was James Bond the others were impostors.

Connery did Zardoz for peanuts because he couldn’t get work after 007. The production budget for the film was only $1 million.

Agent Dreamboat.
I like that - yes, the dreamist ever! And, the only true Bond! Happy Birthday, Sean wherever you are.

When men get older they look like Sean Connery. When women get older they look like...Sean Connery.
Very funny but, unfortunately, very true most of the time.

The Kurgan stole the show, especially the hooker scene. Clancy Brown, also awesome as the guard in The Shawshank Redemption.
