Lazy weekend poll ~ Sean Connery’s birthday 2018
Sir Thomas Sean Connery is 88 today, and we're celebrating with a little Bond poll (it's sort of a repeat of a poll we did way back in 2008).
1. Who is your favorite Bond? (Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig)
2. What fragrance you think their version of Bond would wear?
3. Your all time favorite Bond movie?
4. Who do you think should play James Bond when Daniel Craig retires? Or should Bond just retire and be done with it?
Or, as always, just talk about something else. We don't mind at all.
