More Judge Roberts memos released, including him (almost obsessively) ripping into Michael Jackson, and this statement:
“I am . . . somewhat troubled by the absence of a consistent policy governing our willingness to permit the President to participate in these private, commercial tributes. . . . I think we are seeing evidence of what we often say will happen when we deny requests for Presidential endorsements of charitable efforts: once you do one it becomes impossible to turn down countless others. I know there’s only one John Wayne — but there’s only one Bob Hope, James Bond, Bing Crosby, etc. etc. etc.”
Clearly he was talking abuot Sean Connery, and not those other posers.

Well, I can no longer support Judge Roberts after such harsh words about Michael Jackson. Roberts is clearly anti-child, because we all know MJ lives and breaths to “help the children”. And anyone who states that there is only one James Bond is obviously making a case that the non-Connery “Bonds” have a Constitutional right to privacy and so is obviously pro-abortion. How did this guy ever slip under the radar?

A vote against Judge Roberts is a vote for Michael Jackson …

Roger Moore made a better Bond.
Connery was not urbane enough to pull the role off.

Well, that goes without saying.

I don’t know, I think Roberts seems a little TOO obsessed with Michael. Maybe he’s in denial about his love for him.

Well that does it. Any man who does not recognize that George Lazenby was an equal (if not superior) James Bond to that of the esteemed Scotsman has no business going near the Highest Court in the Land.
And anyone who does not bow down to Diana Rigg as the hottest Bond babe of all is obviously a communist dedicated to polluting our vital essence.

Sean Connery was the man. Moore really sucked- almost as bad as Timothy Dalton.

Moore rocked as Bond (though he was a tad, shall we say, “mature” in the later films).
James Bond is a guy who could ski down a mountain whilst shooting Generic Bad Guys, get to the lodge at the bottom, remove the snow suit to reveal a tuxedo, pluck a small flower from one of the pots on the deck, place it into his lapel, then order a drink and chat up the attractive bartender.
Connery could do the skiing/shooting… but he didn’t pull off the tuxedo/flower plucking with much aplomb at all.
Don’t get me wrong. Connery would have made one hell of an Americanesque action hero… he just didn’t make a good Bond.
I was quite pleased with Brosnan’s interpretation as well (though quite disappointed with the scripts).

Sean Connery was great as bond espeialy in GOLDFINGER driving his ASTRON MARTIN DB5 and i understand that IAN FLEMMING based the name on a real person in fact there was a british orithologist(bird expert)who name was JAMES BOND but this guy is dead jim
