    I always preferred Sean Connery but Sean was a horrible person.

    I’d like to think that actors get remembered for who they were rather than who they pretended to be.

      Connery’s Bond was also awfully sexists and misogynistic. It’s incredibly cringe trying to watch certain scenes of that era. Some are rape fantasies through and thru.

        The first book is interesting… it has the typical Bond setup… here’s your mission, your exotic location, and your beautiful assistant… and Bond goes:

        “A woman? What are you sending a woman for, she’ll only get in the way.”

        (!)

        I was surprised!

      Huh, I had missed that he passed away (or forgotten about it). Hope he’s being abused by women in the afterlife.

    If you liked this, you need to see Roger Moore’s performance in Cannonball Run. Lolol, he plays a rich boy who is pretending to be a spy/actor named Roger Moore, it’s beautiful and fits well with this story.
