Character Spotlight: Jonathan Pryce as Elliot Carver
Elliot Carver from Tomorrow Never Dies stands as one of the most realistic villains in any James Bond movie, largely because his power is rooted in influence rather than spectacle. While many Bond antagonists pursue implausible goals involving nuclear weapons… Read More →

Recall. Three. Send.
In an era when smartphones boast extraordinary capabilities and price tags to match, it’s striking how insignificant they’ve become as gadgets in modern James Bond movies. The Ericsson JB988 from Tomorrow Never Dies remains, in my mind, as the definitive… Read More →

I’m just a professional doing a job!

They’ll print anything these days
