Actor Sir Roger Moore, best known for playing James Bond, has died aged 89, his family has announced.

He played the famous spy in seven Bond films including Live and Let Die and A View to a Kill.

Sir Roger's family confirmed the news on Twitter, saying he had died after "a short but brave battle with cancer".

 

What an actor.  Can't believe he was 89!

I was surprised to see his age as well. 

On a related note, I have never watched a Bond movie. Never piqued my interest for whatever reason. Just me? 

Casino Royale is a 2 hour hair product commercial.  They even drink sambuca on the train through Italy while marveling at how grotesque Eva Green's feet are.  Give it a go.

Lol - sounds like I should get some royalties from that one! Too many similarities.

My first James Bond was Roger Moore, so he'll always be Bond to me. Barely remember Moonraker, but Octopussy was a terrific film to start with into the genre/series.

 

Moore had so much class it was amazing, and the Bond girls didn't hurt to look at either.

I liked Moore first then appreciated Connery.  For Your Eyes Only was great as was Moonraker.  View to a kill with Chris Watkins and Grace Jones was my favorite for some reason.  

Dammit, that was the movie I was thinking of when I mentioned Octopussy, which is also a great film, but my first Bond film was FYEO. Absolute crush on the female lead, Carole Bouquet - quite the stunner.

Opening song for FYEO is killer.  I like all the bond movies.  

If you have followed them for a while, skyfall was the poo.  Brought it full circle.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
