Sean Connery RIP

[hilts]

Nine pages and no one mentioned "The Man Who Would Be King." Terrific film, Sean Connery and Michael Caine, two of a kind in many ways.
Also remember Connery and Alex Ferguson gatecrashing Andy Murray's party after winning the U.S. Open in New York to celebrate their fellow Scot's win.

I’m not google mate, look it up yourself. He was asked repeatedly about it and refused to apologise - but if you’re fine with domestic violence good on you, well done.

Tiresome, deflating, irksome, vexatious and nasty.

Surely the response is “I loved him as an actor, I loved his films, but it’s disappointing to hear he had that attitude and used a public platform to unapologetically admit domestic violence. It doesn’t change my opinion on his talent though”

Instead it’s sneering comments around not knowing him personally and trying to find an excuse for a pretty abhorrent opinion.

My view as well. He is born in 19 fucking 30. Folk from then have stupid notions and outdated upbringings. There are old lads in my pub born after that who espouse bollocks every time they go for a pint. Dont get them started on brown people or those scary awful immigrants.

I'm sure he wasn't perfect and,during his 90 years on this planet,he did stuff he wasn't proud of,or that showed him in a bad light.But he was a brilliant screen presence,and one of life's characters,who brought joy and entertainment to millions.

I've never bought into moral superiority as everybody is a cvnt at some point in their existence (even Rashford.....) and while that's not excusing such behaviour,its fact,and anyone who pretends different is a liar.

RIP Sean,and thank you for the memories.

In 40 years time the soy boys and the new enlightened will be the new nazi wife beaters who are "Outdated". Appreciating an actor who gave us memories an was obviously popular isn't hard.

He died on 31/10/20.

3+1+1+2= 007

 

[Bill Walker]

My view as well. He is born in 19 fucking 30. .

Just imagining a calendar that you hang on the wall saying 20 fucking 20 :)
