Okay, I don't know Richard Armitage. Sorry, I don't know where I've been, but I do know Sean Connery and well, who can beat James Bond. Really, no contest at all!!! Thanks for another fun romp with the stars!! Always enjoy the diversion!! xo

Nekky said...

James Bond all the way. I'll like to see how it ends.
Have a nice weekend ladies.

Spilled Milkshake said...

I'm going to have to go with Sean Connery. He's just sexy...then and even now.

Jacqueline said...

Oooh I like Richard Armitage but I LOOOOOOOOOVE Sean Connery. James Bond baby.....all the way!!!

beth said...

Sean Connery, no contest!

Mommy LaDy Club said...

I knew Sean was the right match for Richard this week, but the British are still coming for their Richard ladies!;)

I'm going with Connery too!

Ashleigh said...

Sean Connery, obviously! ;)

Ang said...

Bond. James Bond. As the others have said, he's a class act. He's got the presence, no question about it. There's a reason he's 007!

The Anecdotal Baby said...

James Bond (Connery) hands down! I, like Kathy, had no idea who Richard Armitage was either. Living in a hole I suppose!

ReviewsSheROTE Pamela R said...

Mr Connery

Nate Shenk said...

James Bond is a professional badass!

:D

Mommy LaDy Club said...

Nate, welcome! Love it when the men come and vote!

I'm going to go catch up on Justified now...

Frugal in WV said...

This one is easy Sean Connery, love him :) Have a great weekend!

Katherines Corner said...

I have to vote for Richard. I like Sean's movies. But I saw an interview with him once and he it was okay to slap a women. So thumbs down for him. xo P.S. thank you for linking up to the Thursday Favorite Things blog hop linky party. Did you get your entry in for the sweetheart giveaway? It ends tomorrow

HersHisandOurs.com said...

Sean Connery all the way! Been in love with him for years!!

By the way - haven't you been loving Justified? So glad to have Timothy back on the screen to watch every week!

Mommy LaDy Club said...

Yes Lisa! I'm so glad I can get it on On Demand, because I fall asleep now before it's on.

Mommy LaDy Club said...

Katherine,

I remember that now about that interview with Connery. That was weird that he said that. These leading men need to just stick to the screen, and not ruin everything for us;)

therufffarm said...

Armitage! If you haven't see N&S, you MUST!!

mrsmomx6 said...

Sean...Sean...Sean! He's like Sam Elliot, he get's better, and SEXIER with age...

Maria Grazia said...

It's an unfair match! Richard Armitage hasn't worked that much in movies and, though he has his international "army of thousands", he still has to reach worldwide popularity.
However, he will get to that soon. He would be an incredible James Bond (he was Lucas North in the BBC spy drama, Spooks/MI5).
Now he is shooting in New Zealand, in Peter Jackson's latest movie, The Hobbit.
So, his career in the Hollywood star system has just started. Come back to this match next year. I'm sure you'll get different results.
And, definitely, I'm sure the ones who voted Mr Connery haven't seen any of Richard Armitage's works nor listened to any of his interviews)
OK. Do I need to tell you who is my favourite between the two ?

phylly3 said...

You tell them MG! If this was the 1970s and Richard Armitage was still a toddler then I would say Sean Connery all the way. But helloooo! Get a copy of the DVD North and South (BBC version) or the BBC's Robin Hood (you can also check it out on Netflix). Once you have seen RA in action there is no going back!
Also check out his fanvids or interviews on Youtube. He is even better in real life! A true gentleman.
Swoon....

Spikesbint said...

Sean Connery v Richard Armitage is a bit of an unfair contest, considering Sean's body of work, they are both great actors, but would have to go for Richard Armitage. He has shown in interviews that he is a lovely person inside and out and his acting always draws me in. I cannot wait until he can show the world what he can do when the Hobbit comes out this year.

Mersguy said...

Richard will burst onto the big screen soon enough and you will all wonder what took you so long to discover him! Both are great actors, but Richard Armitage is something special not only is he extraordinarily handsome, but has a voice that is as smooth as melted chocolate. I urge you to listen to some of his audio work. He has a smallish fan base but very passionate. We love him to bits!

tilly6482 said...

Definitely Richard Armitage for me, Sean Connery is lovely and a great actor but no one tops Richard Armitage for me

Mommy LaDy Club said...

I knew the Richard fans were still coming! I thought that he was actually going to give Connery a run for his money. He's making a comeback though!

JasRangoon said...

Richard Armitage hands down! He has proven himself to be a talented actor in various genres. Plus, he appears to be a genuinely good person, which we don't often see from actors. Then of course there is the fact that he is oh so easy on the eyes

Mommy LaDy Club said...

It's funny, because I didn't know Richard Armitage until he was suggested by one of our readers, and I think he's fabulous! I wouldn't have put him up against Connery if I didn't think he could hold his own!;)

kaprekar said...

Richard Armitage every time!!! He would also make a great James Bond!

therufffarm said...

I'm amazed that after seeing that N&S clip, you gals didn't change your vote in mass!!!!!? I still get lightheaded every time I see THAT KISSS!!!

But you know, Connery is still pretty sexy for an old guy!

Mommy LaDy Club said...

When I added them up, I actually changed mine to Richard, because I thought we might have a tie. Connery only beat him by 3!

GrannyP said...

Richard Armitage hands down. I do like Sean Connery as well but I have to go with Richard.
