He had a long successful life through the best decades this world ever had to offer. I'll never forget him as Indy's father. I'm not sad to hear he died. I'm thinking more like: Good job, man. You really had it all.

Amen to the best decades. I've had most of those decades myself and it makes me sad for those who come after and a little guilty. He was class and wry wit always on the verge of a laugh but never quite there. A Scotsman picked to exemplify the coolest of cool Englishmen and somehow it worked. We all wished for that sort of charm.
Well Trebec, I guess you get the last laugh after all, no more choosing "the rapists" on Jeopardy.

While a death is rarely a good thing, at 90 years old it is to be expected.
Rest well you brilliant Scotsman.

I was so sad to read this yesterday. I was a huge fan, not least because the Bond films were a big part of growing up. 40 years ago this year, ITV started a Christmas day tradition of showing a Bond film and 1978 was Connery's last, Diamonds are Forever (1971). RIP.

The fact that he was a raging misogynist is not news nor was it a secret. He was a talented actor and a wretched human being. Both of these things are true.
He was one of the good parts of "A Bridge Too Far." James Bond is too much of a straight male power fantasy for me to give much of a shit about it in general, but Connery's Bond was pretty darn rapey.
He won't be missed. Go watch one of his movies if you want, but at 90 years old it was past time this dinosaur went to the tar pit.

RIP
He was a Bond of his time. I think my favourite role of his was as Indy's dad.

Oh lawd

Well, that didn't take long.

Come on SubJeff, that's actually not entirely inaccurate. "The man all women want, and all men want to be" much? Bond was like the über-male ideal for decades.
