He asked to be cremated. His ashes will be "shaken, not stirred." He was always charming and a little more humor than the action figure Bond characters. He was in British TV as Simon Templar, a professional thief who gets the bad guys in The Saint, and in Maverick where he fit pretty well to replace James Garner as Beau Maverick during some kind of contract dispute Garner had. Loved that show when I was kid and it stands up pretty well now with comedy to lighten up the action, some parallel to the Saint in that the Mavericks are outside the law, and usually reluctant heroes, more con games than thievery but similar to the Saint, always at odds with the authorities. |

I liked them all. Daniel Craig films really became some of my favorites. I think it was because they "upped the violence" in those films.
I think Gora should have put in place a secret service curriculum before she left. A graduate project going undercover with Delaware County meth enforcement........

Moore was the Bond I knew while growing up and the Bond I saw when I went to watch the movies at Northwest Plaza. So to me he is effectively the original Bond, and I have a soft spot for him.
But I think the key question for guys is - if you could be magically transformed into James Bond, which one would you want to be? Connery is the obvious answer. I would be suspicious of any guy who would choose one of the others. Connery is clearly the coolest Bond. |

Connery the one closest to Ian Fleming's original character.
Still have a tattered and crumbling 60 cent paperback edition of Casino Royale read as a kid in 1959 or 1960.
I moved on to Le Carre's Smiley from Bond at some point, but the exotic European locale and spy craft of 007 was captured best by Connery's Bond.
