Great article on Rockwell. Knew exactly where it was
going and what the painting would be without opening
the link. Surprised they didn't include the Murder in
Mississippi painting.
Here's more background on that: Murder in Mississippi
They told the story of it, and several others. I looked them up as I read. Maybe they couldn't get publishing rights for all the pictures.
If I was a villain using a cellphone I wouldn't use any kind of contract phone. A one-and-done 'burner' prepay phone (think Tracfone or Cricket or Straight Talk) that a person could pick up at any convenience store, Walmart, or Target and activate under a fake identity — hey, I'm an evil villain; of COURSE I would have a fake identity (or two or three) already! — would be good enough and they'd never be able to trace it back to me.

As a prop master for a studio you want to enhance the project as best you can. Good guys don't get fedoras they're for gangsters. leading men don't get checked sport coats they're for used car salesmen. For a sinister character like Dr Evil or an axe murderer give them a phone from an evil enterprise ... Apple.
