    I said this when he bought Bond and the Washington Post.

    Bezos is basically Elliot Carver from Tomorrow Never Dies: billionaire media mogul who manipulates the news to his own ends.

    Slight tangent, but Elon Musk is even more like Hugo Drax of Moonraker: foreign-born billionaire who owns a rocket company and is obsessed with repopulating the earth with his own offspring.

    This is why I think Tomorrow Never Dies is one of the most underrated films in the franchise.

      Agreed. It’s a really creative story.

      I’d keep Bezos as the OG Dr No (Nu? The villain that gets mocked in Austin Powers) and Larry Ellison as his porn double. Then Musk as their cyber punk porn double.

        I had him as more of a Lex Luthor.

        Larry Ellison feels like more of a Bond Villain.

        Mark Zuckerberg could work as some kind of 80s/90s action movie baddie. I know a good analog is out there, but the best I can come up with is the VP from Robocop or the various evil CEOs from Tron.

        Elon Musk feels like a Captain Planet villain.

          You only had him as Lex Luthor because he’s bald

            Older versions of him work. The newer versions tend to be Wizard in a Gundam.

    There was a time when all past movie Bonds were still alive. It would have been a great opportunity to make them the heads of SPECTRE and dramatically reshape the franchise.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
