I love Seanery as Bond until DAF... urg. *gags*... But he's still #2 in my books... a tight #2, but still not top dog.

Lazenby is my fave. Just is.

Well, you know the reason this forum doesn't have a Lazenby usergroup is because nobody has thus far volunteered to moderate it. Just saying, no pressure or anything :wink:

HAhhaa...

Don't know the first thing about what your groups do or talk about... I shall try to join the Connery one to find out. From there, we'll see if there is a need for an official group for the Lazenbites. If not, I shall spread the Georgespel as I post...

George likes kitties as much as he likes bunnies... and vice versa!! :P

If you don't like Sean Connery as James Bond, then you are not human!

As for Connery as Bond... who couldn't like this...

I've already seen most of those pics on IMDb's page. They're loads of fun though.

Connery is my favorite Bond, but i do feel that he thought with his groin a bit too much, bedding chicks for the sake of bedding them, the wreckless libido was not too amusing! He is though perfect in Dr. No and FRWL.
Moore my second favorite did not have this problem however, a seasoned and wisened Bond and that's why i like him too!

Hmm, I haven't done a statistical analysis, but I thought that Moore's Bond was more promiscuous than Connery's, as much because of the era the films were made (after the sexual revolution and before AIDS) as anything else.

To me Connery was good but not perfect as Bond.

Sometimes he came across as maybe too cool or tough, a superhero more or less.

To me his looks are not perfect either, I think Dalton looked more the way Bond should look.

He also had this way of looking ironic that I frankly find annoying, I think you know what I mean.

That said, Connery had a great deal of charisma and was believable as the cool womanizing secret agent of the early films.

He was no doubt a contributing factor in making Bond so popular in the early days of the franchise.

Connery is still my Number 1 for Bond.
It will take some beating for Craig in Bond 23 to knock him off my number 1 spot.
