Sean Connery has been synonymous with the character of James Bond for the better part of his career–whether he likes it or not. More so than Roger Moore, even more so than Pierce Brosnan. 

Perhaps this is because Connery was the first face of the infamous 007, and he was that way for a decade. Yes, he’s also Indy’s father and that old art thief from Entrapment, but when we look at that debonair silver hair we all just think, “Bond.”

Connery’s fought to shake that image ever since he stopped playing James Bond after 1971’s Diamonds Are Forever. Originally, he shunned any and all involvement in the flicks. Until now, that is. 

Trend Hunter reports that Connery has been quoted as saying he would love to be involved in an upcoming (did he mean the upcoming?) Bond movie. Except this time, he wants to be a villain. He was inspired by Daniel Craig’s take on the character, and the fact that the movies are moving back to a serious tone.

However, Connery did point out that this would be an unlikely situation, saying, “I don’t think they would pay me enough.” I guess another bagillion dollar paycheck is more important to Sean than making history.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
