Now they only eat rat
Silva’s introduction and rat story in Skyfall is pretty epic. It’s an underrated sequence that unfortunately gets lost in some of the other distracting elements of their time in his compound, particularly the contrived William Tell apple shot sequence and Silva’s anticlimactic capture.

I forget things when I get nervous
This deceptively simple line captures why Paloma became an instant standout in No Time to Die. In just a few minutes of screen time, she manages to blindside the audience into thinking she’s a naive new agent, but in reality the “three weeks” minimal training was enough to immediately prove… Read More →
