    RIP Roger Moore

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-40018422

    The Spy Who Loved Me is one of my favourite bond films...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Likewise. Some of Moore's Bond movies were a bit ... iffy ... but he also did a bunch of really good ones such as The Man With The Golden Gun.

    He had a good, long life though, and it was filled with success. Farewell, Sir.

    IMHO, the best James Bond right after Sean Connery.

    Yeh, heard that today. Another childhood familiar face gone. Have to admit to never being a fan of his James Bond, but Moore himself was an absolute gent and completely able to take the piss out of himself, which is rare among the fragile egos of movieland.

    Have a soft spot for 'Live and Let Die', but these days probably wouldn't watch any Moore's Bond films. I'd stick on 'The Wild Geese' in a heartbeat though.

    Saw Vendetta for the Saint not too long ago. Liked the guy. Never had much of a relationship to him as an actor, tho.

    He was in Spice World.

    The lowest point in his or any other actor's career.
