Loved the opening scene in Goldfinger when he was jumped in his paramour's hotel room by some random henchman and he disposed of him by throwing him into a full bathtub followed by a plugged in electric fan (musta been before GFI) and summed up the situation by saying "Shocking, positively shocking" in that wry and casual Connery British accent.

If it weren’t for The James Bond, I’d probably be drinking red wine with fish.

Sad loss, but with an amazing legacy of films he left for us to enjoy...not soon to be forgotten.
BTW, the DB 5 with all of Q’s goodies...except sadly, not the ejection seat...is being reborn as a limited edition. The Goldfinger car for a cool 3.5 million, just in case anyone’s interested... ; )

My first date was Goldfinger, and so we all go into the abyss.

My father took my mother on a date, to a screening of Goldfinger in very early 1965 in the midlands of England after he'd already seen it in London in late '64. They were engaged and married soon after and he brought her home to Australia. I was born the following year. If he hadn't taken his date to that movie, I may not exist.

We talked about it yesterday and the two of them recounted it like it was only last week. As Dad said, Sean Connery had a great life.

He tried to have a mé·nage à trois with Carly Simon and her sister. To have the brass balls to try. And with sisters....Respect. A man's man in real life. Oh the stories I bet he had.
