He Called Himself 'One Lucky Bastard:' Sir Roger Moore Dies At 89 http://n.pr/2jcCwZP


The actor Sir Roger Moore has died at 89, after "a short but brave battle with cancer," according to a statement from his family.

Moore played the role of James Bond between 1973 and 1985, and was knighted in his home country of England in 2003.......

I just got bollocked at work for asking if he was at the gig.

A good bollocking is good for the soul.

He did some good stuff, but I wasn't a fan of his Bond years.

The more that time passes, the more a lot of us will realize how uniquely entertaining this guy's Bond was.

He re-set the Bond franchise once again, in an entirely different era, as another commercial success past the stage when the old, serious, seminal Bond had just about run its course.

Roger - all the good tailors are up 'up there' now, where you are.

Was he Licensed to Die?

it was the latest bond gadget, the 'zimmer'. he was on the concourse and the rest is history.

did a fucking cool Ivanhoe also back in the day.

I realize it is traditional to speak well of the recently departed, and as a human being and possibly even as an actor he may have had many fine qualities, but he was a horrible Bond.

I believe Bond was fashioned after Simon Templar.

Whether he was or not, that's what I believe.

I still love it when he runs across the crocodiles backs.

Maybe bonds are like kink, and bond preference should not be considered 'wrong' just different.

Indeed. Moore was the Bond I grew up with and so, identified with. When I first saw Sean Connery in the role from watching the films that preceded Moore, something seemed...off. Still does. Can't really shake that. His Bond was supremely stylish, sleek and studied. He could scrap, but he'd rather trip you up with his foot into the spikes on the floor than punch you in the face and then walk away with his tie still in place.

Didn't feel that kind of style again until Brosnan came into it and made it more fun. Now we have the best of all worlds with the Kingsman franchise and we wouldn't have that without Sir Roger's tenure as an instruction manual on how to get it right.

Here's my other fave by Moore. I almost like this joint better than his Bond.

EXACTLY.

In A FUCKING SUIT AND TIE.

That's how you do business. I will never get tired of watching that scene.

Thank you, Jesus, another worthless Limey called home to Hell.

His Bond was a campy one but I doubt that was him but the writers and the times. RIP Sir Roger.

Sad to see yet another Icon gone.

Having said that my personal opinion has always been Bond appealed to base 14 year old male fantasy and was as believable as such.

Ian Fleming did spy work in WWII; I think he modeled Bond on himself.

 

[doctor_insanus]

Still a fucking amazing opening to a Bond movie.

I'd forgotten the Ivanhoe...

The Saint was excellent, in its time. Moore's best, in my view. The Volvo P1800 was a cool "hero car" back then.

RIP
Roger Moore was fab

He was a Saint.

"I'm so funny that I make myself laugh."

Yes, that's true.
