To many people there was only one James Bond, Sean Connery. He was the first and he passed away yesterday at the age of ninety. I'm not such a Bond freak that I won't watch a James Bond film with another actor cast as Bond, but they really aren't quite the same. If you haven't seen any of the Bond flicks, I suggest you start at the beginning with Dr. No and if you dig it follow it up with From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, and You Only Live Twice. Those are the first five, all with Connery. They had all the cool gimmicks and effects of the day, that look hokey and antiquated now. But the sets, cars, babes, wardrobe, villains, locations,...shit, so much of those first Bond movies have been mined for cool, still today over fifty years later. Sean Connery was ninety so his passing isn't all that alarming, just hope it was as good a run as it seems to have been.
