Sean Connery, Dead at 90

[Dung Beatles]

What else can I say? This is the end of an era. I know he was 90 but this feels shitty.

One last time and with feeling:

... Nevermind. Google-fu.

Did not know Connery started out as a body builder and male model. That's crazy shit.

I think that's a picture of Steve Reeves, the other body builder that almost got the job of Bond.

Connery doesn't seem to have ever gotten that big.

What does Steve Reeves have to do with this?

sob, google bamboozled me.




He wasn't a bodybuilding bigshot or anything, but let's celebrate his body at a younger age anyway.

TS - Thanks for the eye candy

DB - As for his death, that’s how it ends for us all you know?

People are already starting to call out his corpse for being a woman beater.

The same idiots people who put celebrities on a pedestal?

Well, he wasn't a good man.

That's ok. Most of aren't. It's not disrespectful. He said he slapped a woman and said he'd do it again. So what? He made a bunch of movies that a lot of people liked and now he's dead. That's it. That's better than most of us get.

His views were antiquated and ugly and from an antiquated ugly time when men were mostly bastards. The secret is that we're still mostly bastards. Each one of us is uglier and rottener than the next. It doesn't get better, we just get better at hiding from others and hiding it from ourselves.

I remember that his wife had publicly stated that he never actually slapped her. He was just vocal about willing to do it if necessary.



EDIT: I'm confusing something. His first wife stated domestic abuse, or at least an incident. His second wife, I'm finding nothing.

Also slapping a woman once is now the same as being a woman beater? Ugh

I’d rather be a bastard than an apologetic, egg shell walking pussy, any day of the week.
