Requiescat in Pace - Sean Connery

 I have only just read that one of my boyhood heroes, Sean Connery died at the end of October. Here's to you, Sean.


"Now listen to me, you benighted muckers! We're going to teach you soldiering, The world's noblest profession! When we're done with you, you'll be able to stand up and slaughter your foes like civilized men! But first, you will have to learn to march in step. And do the manual of arms without even having to think! Good soldiers don't think, they just obey! Do you suppose that if a man thought twice, he'd give his life for Queen and Country? Not bloody likely! He wouldn't go near the battlefield! One look at your foolish faces tells me that you're going to be crack troops. Ohhh him there with the five-and-a-half hat size has the makings of a bloody hero!"

Was a sad loss, and he was a part of so many films I enjoyed. Unfortunately we've lost several more famous people since

A true icon & his movies will be watched & loved by people not yet born for years to come.

A sad loss, but at least his movies will live on.
