Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Moore got some of my favorite over-the-top Bond baddies and lead henchmen. Scaramanga & Nick Nack, Kananga & Baron Samedi, Stromberg & Jaws, Hugo Drax &... Jaws again! All so ridiculous and fun. Anyway, he's still my favorite Bond to this day!

Nick1Ø66 4,712 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 And coming so soon after losing Clifton James! A true end for the silly bond era. Though Sheriff Pepper did indeed represent the franchise at its low point. Clifton is no doubt chasing Roger around in that big swamp in the sky.

Naïve Old Fart 9,515 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 But did he have a tremendous singing voice? 1 hour ago, Sharky said: RIP Sir Rog. I'll be watching The Man Who Who Haunted Himself in your honour. You got there before me, Sharky! It's a really good film, and, in many ways, his best performance(s). It's a shame it's not known more than it is. GOLD, SHOUT AT THE DEVIL, and THE SEA WOLVES, are all not bad, either. I have a soft spot for the cheesiness of NORTH SEA HIJACK, but - and deservedly so - TSWLM will always be his magnum opus. Also, checkout his star-turn on BRIAN PERN. R.I.P. Mr. Moore.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I somehow only just realized that he's the first Bond to pass away (unless you count David Niven, in which case you're an irritating pedant). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick1Ø66 4,712 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Still no mention on the James Bond Twitter account. Jay, can you use your sources/contacts to rectify this? Is it just me or does it look like Moore & Dalton's heads are photoshopped on in the pic on the top of that page? Actually Connery & Craig are the only ones that don't look off.

Sweeping Strings 2,356 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I was genuinely upset by the news and there was some tear-shedding, I don't mind admitting. My Facebook post - 'My earliest-formed 'fandom' was Star Wars, but James Bond followed not long afterwards. And now the longest-running incumbent of the role has gone. A national treasure who could self-deprecate for Britain and said the only thing in life he'd ever taken completely seriously was his UNICEF work (he once told an interviewer 'Oh, don't bother with all that 'Sir' bollocks. Call me Rog'). Am now doubly glad that I went to his 'An Afternoon With ... ' show last November. Ah God, I'm welling up now. R.I.P. to a proper gentleman of the old school. R.I.P. Sir Roger Moore.' TSWLM tonight by way of tribute, I think. Naïve Old Fart and Ricard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 The production design is 70s to the extreme. Wood-paneling, taupe carpets, earth tones and mirrors. It's like an old episode of Columbo. Unlucky Bastard and Disco Stu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
