" . . . is measured only by success," according to Jonathan Pryce as media megalomaniac Elliott Carver in one of many clips featured during this TOMORROW NEVER DIES extra. To put that in layman's terms, Vincent Van Gogh died nutty as a fruit cake, since he had never sold one of his paintings while he was among the living. However, years later Vinnie posthumously became smarter than Einstein, as Japanese buyers began to snap up his color-splashed canvases for $50 and $100 million a pop. Similarly, when TOMORROW crew members are quoted here in HIGHLY CLASSIFIED saying things such as "We were allowed to hire the 20 nicest looking elite models from the extras agency and dress them," such hubris would be certifiably insane if TOMORROW tanked at the box office. After all, what could be more of an oxymoron than the phrase "elite extras"? Could the Tigers' downfall in 2014 be blamed on the pernicious manipulation of "pictures in the cloud" by a Bond-like Femme Fatale Bad Girl by the named Kate Upton, a.k.a., an "elite extra"? Watch HIGHLY CLASSIFIED to learn more about the Upton/Van Gogh connection.

Desmond Llewelyn admirably hosts as Q in HIghly Classified: The World of 007
tavm16 August 2022
Desmond Llewelyn, in character as Q, hosts this extra on the Tomorrow Never Dies Blu Ray (and, I'm guessing DVD and VHS versions) talking about the various cast and crew that appears at various points. He also talks about his opinions of 007 which goes from admirable to critical especially concerning his gadgets and Bond's treatment of them. Notably, he also often refers to James as "Commander Bond" which is rare since when talking to the agent himself, he always addresses him by his numerical code. Done only a few years before Llewelyn's unfortunate death, this is as much a tribute to him as to the movie he's promoting. HIghly recommended!
