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.

    • The framing continues to be if you disagree with this top 10 play making….its then somehow spun as denying his improvement or hating. if you take Bryce’s career and exclude his last 2 starts……there really is no objective argument that isn’t a bottom tier starter to date. Is yeah, it’s cherry picking, recency bias and his surprising inability improvement driving it into a bit of silliness.  Literally nothing argued here except the top 10 stuff is overkill.   But it’s also the same time of year when folks can get bashed for saying Frank is a bad hire, Fitterer sucks and should be fired with Rhule, Ben McAdoo was a joke hire for a staff that forced into rejects, Rhule doesn’t know what he is doing and clearly exposed when reporters got into camp, the Sam/Baker comp and not picking one is dumb, and on and on.  Lot of frankly conservative takes are spun as wild hate this time of year.   
    • Doing a little digging and it looks like PFF didn't penalize him for the XL drop during that Chiefs game.  I also think the moral of the story is most teams aren't chunking it 20 plus yards for completions multiple times every game.  Hit a couple of those and you can be one of the top "deep" ball passers that week.  
    • Of course he needs to put together a full season and there is no reason to suggest he won't. His progress last year was great and unless you think he has already reached his ceiling he should continue to get better. That is why folks are excited for the first time in years. Who knows what will happen but to have a qb who finished the year playing excellently and is only going into his 3rd year, you need to be excited. At least until we have reason to think differently.
