Well, he was 90 so it was really more "why not?". 

And since he was never peaceful in life, if there's an afterlife (which I doubt, but if) he's not about to start just for that so I've been saying "rest in riot, Sean".  I think he'd like that.

He will always be the only "true" Bond to me.  1965 - I was 12.  Went to the Round Rock, Texas Theater (the town had a population of 2000) and saw Goldfinger.  I was blown away. 

Line of the century:  Honor Blackman - Pussy Galore.

James - I must be dreaming.

I'm shocked as well. I guess 90 is a pretty ripe old age to aspire to.
