Re: Celebrity Obituaries and Passings
Rest in Peace, Sean Connery.
My most wanted fight ever is Discord vs Bobobo-bo bo-bobo.
Godzilla has a regen like Wolverine, a skin like Luke Cage, a hero aura like Captain America, a strength like Hulk, an unstoppability like Juggernaut, an immortality like Deadpool.
There's a 'God' in Godzilla for a reason...

Re: Celebrity Obituaries and Passings
It might be Connery's worst 007 film (and the one with his least interesting performance) but I'd recommend You Only Live Twice to anyone here simply because of its ties to Toho and the Godzilla series. It's the movie where Bond goes to Japan and works with Tetsuro Tanba and gets involved with Akiko Wakabayashi and Mie Hama. Toho lent sound stages (not to mention actors) to the production and receives thanks in the credits.

YOLT was the first Bond I saw, so I think it'll always be my favorite, just because of the Japan setting.Terasawa wrote:It might be Connery's worst 007 film (and the one with his least interesting performance) but I'd recommend You Only Live Twice to anyone here simply because of its ties to Toho and the Godzilla series.

Re: Celebrity Obituaries and Passings
An absolute fucking legend. While Bond will always be near and dear to my heart, I figured I'd bring attention to the three collaborations between Connery and Sidney Lumet - The Hill, The Anderson Tapes and The Offence. All three show how diverse an actor he really was, particularly The Hill, which was released the same year as Thunderball.

Re: Celebrity Obituaries and Passings
TCM shows The Hill pretty often, and yeah that's a great movie.
I remember liking The Anderson Tapes (terrific cast, too) but I'd be hard pressed to remember anything specific about it. I think his best and most versatile performances came in the '70s, in a string of really good movies including Murder on the Orient Express, The Wind and the Lion, The Man Who Would Be King, The First Great Train Robbery...
And there's Zardoz.
But also shout-out to The Hell Drivers, which he had a small pre-007 part in. Cool movie but more than anything the cast is incredible.

Re: Celebrity Obituaries and Passings
Oh, I love Hell Drivers, largely because I'm a big fan of Patrick McGoohan. But there's also Stanley Baker, Herbert Lom, Connery, William Hartnell (the First Doctor), David McCallum and Sid James.Terasawa wrote:But also shout-out to The Hell Drivers, which he had a small pre-007 part in.

I feel Hell Drivers would make for a great double-bill with Fukuda's The Merciless Trap (Both "kitchen sink" movies involving truckers). And funnily enough, I also feel The Hill would be great paired with Okamoto's Fort Graveyard (Both gritty monochrome war movies from 1965).

There was a news outlet or two mentioning how he wasn't doing so well, but I didn't think it was that bad. He will be missed

Re: Celebrity Obituaries and Passings
I remember seeing his announcement on Jeopardy, sad to see it's finally happened. I really liked Jeopardy, and he had a great voice for an announcer/host. Mondays at 7 won't be the same anymore.Gigantis wrote: ↑Sun Nov 08, 2020 11:08 amOh no! I actually thought he died last month, but i was hoping he wouldn't actually pass on for a while.

Seriously. Not that I want anyone to get it but I can understand when something long living such as humans get it, longer you live the more likely something is gonna go wrong when cells divide, but then you have cats and dogs get it and I'm like that's not fucking fair, they're lives are already short.

Beloved voice actor Kirby Marrow who voice many beloved characters from Goku in the Ocean dub of the Majin Buu saga, Miroku in Inuyasha, and Trowa from Gundam Wing has died at the age of 47.
Aw man that sucks. I absolutely loved him as Miroku. All this just as the new Inuyasha series dropped. I can't imagine any other English voice actor in the role.
