Should Sean Connery Be the Official Actor of IMAO?
Apparently he wanted to blow up the moon. Apparently Sean Connery’s movie contract stipulates that each movie he’s in has to have a bigger explosion than the previous:
“In ‘The Rock’ he’d blown up an island, and he was demanding in ‘The League…’ that he blow up Venice or something like that. It would have been the moon in his next movie.”
I have to put some doubts on the article, though. They say they’re quoting Alan Moore, the director of League of Extraordinary Gentleman, but Alan Moore was the author of the graphic novel and probably wouldn’t have touched the movie production with a ten foot poll. So either they confused the name of the actual director of the movie or the article is total bull.

I hate to be “that guy”, but Sean Connery never blew up an island in The Rock. He was trying to stop explosions, not start them. At the very end, part of the island was hit by aircraft, but even that was something Cage and Connery were trying to avoid, as it risked killing them too.

He should try to blow up something *really* big, y’know like Nancy Pelosi’s stupidity or Al Gore’s hypocrisy

if you “hate to be that guy” then why didnt you just stop typing?… No I dont think you hate to be that “guy”. I think that deep down inside you like being that “guy” or else you would show more discipline.

Stephen Norrington directed The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Moore received a writing credit for the movie, based on his
graphic novelscomic books.Which now makes me “that guy.”

To Max Shiraz; Nancy Pelosi’s stupidity and Al Gore’s hypocricy are both to big to be alowed to fail. If they were blown up by Sean Connery Barack Obama would RUSH an emergency bill thru to bail out Nancy’s STUPIDITY and Al’s hipocricy.

Semi-off topic, but does anybody think that lately Sean Connery sounds like someone doing a bad Sean Connery impression?
I mean, he could say, “Look at the size of that head” or “Get in my belly” and he wouldn’t sound any more ridiculous.

My wife thinks he is incredibly cute. If you did make him the official actor of the site, she would be here every day for updates. It might help build your subscriber base with the ladies.

No. As much as I like most of Connery’s work, in the real world he is a wussy. For example he whines about Scotland being abused by England. If you want a great, manly actor who is manly in real life, I see only two real choices: Clint Eastwood or Bruce Willis. I suppose you could add Chuck Norris to the list of possibilities.

hmmm… so are you saying we should have an IMAO: The Movie? could have everything going basically like it seems headed now… and when the entire world is looking to knock us around we nuke the moon…. and then, after some sort of intriguing plot, and a lot of dead foreigners…. all is well

I don’t know Sean though adorable is getting a little long in the tooth. Although there aren’t too many actors with the conservative credentials Bruce is always a good choice.
Too bad most Hollyweirders are such pansies.

frank, we have prepared him for you. Perhaps you believe, if you make him the IMAO mascot, he will not take your head.

Lol! You know you are too far into politics when… polls are longer than poles.

Make that 4. Tom Selleck was a friend of Reagan.

Heck, Reagan himself was an actor.

Loved that movie.
Hell, Connery made “Finding Forrester” cool ,
and there were no firearms involved.
