At least kinda funny that there’s a long history of movies where villains have complex dastardly plots to crash the global economic system (Goldfinger, Sneakers, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, hell even Fight Club, sorta) when all it takes is making an illiterate reality tv host president - ThreadSky

The key with those villains, was to remain in the background and let their machinations take place, this is villainy redefined. Not looking forward to the movies.

Only the aspiring exploiters are able to allow the "elite" to continue exploiting under a guise that wealth hoarding is "success".

There is a “dude who misunderstands Fight Club” to Trump pipeline

The guys who write scripts and novels are intelligent, creative types. It would never occur to them that an absolutely worthless, convicted felon, idiot and sexual predator would get elected president and destroy the United States. If they had pitched this idea they would have been laughed at.

Fight Club took down the BILLIONAIRES

And a clique of Billionaire TechBros with interlocking boards of directors in their businesses…

Where are the James Bonds when we have real Bond Villains?

The key ingredient, though, is a supine Congress and an actively collaborationist SCOTUS.

as with 2007/8

other nations have regulations and controls of their financial systems

we have a chaotic pump and dump scheme run out of the oval office

lets watch what tim apple gets for his million dollar gift, or will he pay more.

It’s possible that he is an imbecile … AND evil.

Reminder that he's simply an operative.

I’ve been thinking about the Superman story a lot lately!

Don't forget Hudson Hawk, with two (perhaps more) of the scenery chewingiest performances of the 90's by Richard E Grant and Sandra Bernhard.

"..//.. when all it takes is making an illiterate reality tv host president"

Be honest, that would be a rather too farfetched plot.

avibarzeev.bsky.social•2 days ago

This plot is figuratively closest to Die Hard, where the bad guys pretended to be fighting for ideals, but were really just waiting for the government to cut the power so they safely can rob the vault.

this has nothing to do with the point you're trying to make, but I think this is the first time I've ever seen anyone acknowledge the existence of Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre. even the cast members seemed to want to forget the movie as they were making it

charitychicken.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not the global economic system, but Live Free or Die Hard (AKA Die Hard 4) certainly implies that it takes a well-organized and highly murderous team with a multi-stage plan to rip the U.S. apart.

If your name does not match your license:

1. Request copy of birth certificate via county registrar office

2. File for Passport on line or in person. 6-10 week lag time. You'll also need a Passport photo. Available at CVS and Walgreens.
