[Brazelton] RIP Roger Moore

[Dave]

The James Bond I grew up with has passed.

 

[TNM]

He made a great Bond. He was suave and sophisticated - always a gentleman.

 

[HCGLNS]

He was so debonair. Even on the Muppets he was perfection.

 

[drawn_inward]

He was definitely a great Bond.

 

[Dave]

He's really what I think of when I hear the name James Bond, even if Sean Connery's Bond was closer to the novels. He just seemed so fucking cool.

I loved Roger Moore as Bond, but also really loved watching him play himself pretending to be a spy in The Cannonball Run. I shall have to endeavor to watch TCR today, in his memory (since I don't have any Bond films to watch).

Cannonball Run II had one of my favorite lines in movie history.

Moore: "I'm Bond, James Bond."
Mother: "That's sweet dear, you're first name is the same as your last."

As a kid, I remember liking Moore's Bond best, though I think that was because as a kid, I appreciated the sense of smug humo(u)r he brought to the role.

He was so debonair. Even on the Muppets he was perfection.

[Just Me]

RIP Roger Moore.

I loved his Bond, but now I gotta rewatch North Sea Hijack for his Rufus Excalibur ffolkes.
And perhaps some episodes of The Persuaders!, the series has a hilariously comical dub of legendary status in german.

The Saint's Volvo is forever parked.

 

[Ravenpoe]

The best Bond has passed. RIP.

 

[PatrThom]

I forgot to say in the Muppets post above: He could sing the song just as well as Rex Harrison, too.

That isn't much of a challenge.

That isn't much of a challenge.

My all-time favorite Bond movie was his - For Your Eyes Only.

To me, he was Bond.

RIP, Roger.

 

[fade]

I know I'm about to get a ton of disagrees for this, but I always disliked him as Bond. I just viewed him as a cheesy, corny product of his times.

 

[drifter]

Loved those Bond marathons on basic cable growing up. Live and Let Die was my jam.

 

[bhamv3]

His Bond was definitely the cheesiest and campiest, and yet he gave the role a unique feel, distinct from every other Bond actor. His Bond was definitely just as iconic as the others.

RIP Roger.
