Beauty Vs Beast: Double Oh Golden Boys
Monday, August 25, 2014 at 12:25PM JA from MNPP here, using this week's round of our "Beauty vs Beast" series to commemorate the occasion of the 84th anniversary of the birth of that paragon of brute debonair charm, Sean Connery. Who even knew "brute" and "debonair" could be a simultaneous thing til he showed us? Rock 'em sock 'em and shake them martinis, it's a Bond off. I waffled between a couple of villains to face him off against - I do love Dr. No and his awesome plastic head bubble - but when it comes to a bigger-than-bad personality I think the odds are in Gold's favor.
I just flicked the laser's ON switch - you have one week to make your choice before your bits-and-pieces get all crispy-like, so maybe make it timely this week? I mean, I'm only thinking of your privates.
PREVIOUSLY We dove down under da sea to duke it out between Disney's ginger mermaid princess and the big bad brassy sea-hag whos after her pipes... well poor sweet Ariel kinda never stood a chance against so much divine deliciousness; Ursula swam off with a pirate booty's full two-thirds of the vote. Said Alan P:
"Ariel may be the leading lady we all love, but a diva is a diva, and a diva is forever!"

Actually, Team Pussy! Oh, Pussy Galore. Dare I say, greatest Bond girl ever. Greatest name at least. Love, love, love, this movie. Fun, incredibly sexy, and absolute fine polished nonsense. Everything a great Bond movie should be.
This movie was so fun to write about. But, despite their often wonderful names, I never care more about the villains than about one Bond, James Bond. The Bond Girls on the other hand are a different story.
Seriously? Put Bond against Bond or Villain against Villain and you might have a fight, but there is no way a Bond can lose against anyone but an equal and Bond has no equals.
Someone once said, "Women love Sean. Sean loves golf." But I still love Sean Connery as James Bond, so he gets my vote.
