Musk has called his vehicle the "Blade Runner truck"

Source please. I can't find anything that says he mentions Blade Runner regarding the car.

I read it was from The James Bond Car (Lotus) in the movie The Spy Who Loved Me. A car he purchased at auction. https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-cybertruck-inspired-james-bond-lotus-elon-musk-won-auction-2019-11

Wrong. It wasn't funny in Close Encounters. It was funny in the James Bond movie.

I'm all about the funny.

Your Honor, I rest my case.

That is a great clip though.

I believe this is from the James Bond exhibit at the Spy Museum: https://www.spymuseum.org/exhibition-experiences/exquisitely-evil/ . I remember it being pretty effective in person.

Your video, We Remember Sir Roger Moore as James Bond (007), has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Roger Moore was always my James Bond. I was never interested in seeing Bond movies when he stopped being 007. Live and Let Die was the first Bond movie i saw in the theater, but The Spy Who Loved Me was my all time favorite.

I'm having fun envisioning other movies taking a cue from this one and having the characters' wardrobes state their role. Jurassic Park geneticists in lab coats with "Scientist" on them, Rocky wearing shorts that say "Boxer" across his ass, James Bond in his "Spy" suit...

That's a fan theory that explains why James Bond isn't the same guy all the time (Connery, Brosnan, Moore etc.) and kept spying around from the late 60's until now. The idea is that 'James Bond' is a cover identity used by various Agents of MI-6. This would allow for a black Bond but it isn't canon at all. That's why the Craig Bonds rebooted the franchise to allow the reuse of characters (Blofeld) and storylines (Vesper Lind vs. Tracy Bond).
007 is James Bond. The Producers are very protective in regards to this. However, the other 00-agents are pretty much non-existant in the franchise. They showed up in 'From Russia With Love' in a short meeting scene (sans dialogue), 009 died in the first 5 minutes of Octopussy (sans dialogue). The notable exception is Alec Trevelyan played by Sean Bean (I think he was 006), the villian from 'GoldenEye'. You could ague that Javier Bradem's Silva from 'Skyfall' must've been a 00-Agent but it is AFAIK not confirmed. Oh, and another 00-Agent was mentioned in 'Spectre'.
The reason Bond was made a scott was because Fleming like Connery's portrayal so much even though he was against casting him in the beginning. Bond's heritage is a minor plot point (more of a trivia item actually) in 'OHMSS' and a major plot point in 'Skyfall' (the name of Bond's family home).
As I said, gender-swapping Bond is much easier.

Oh, and black James Bond makes no freaking sense. He's a guy from a very old scottish family. How much awkward retconning are you willing to do for that? Jane Bond makes more sense than this.
Why can't we have a kickass 005 for a change? There are other agents working for MI-6 too. Maybe some awesome guy from London.
It's like Chow Yun Fat as King Arthur or Chewitel Ejiofor as Frodo Baggins.

Never heard of him before now, but even in Chinese history records of his voyages were scattered or omitted, due in part possibly because his voyages went against the wishes of a previous ruler. He made seven voyages between 1405 and 1433, the Wikipedia article mentions nothing about colonization efforts so that's probably why East Africa doesn't speak Chinese.
On the other side we have Christopher Columbus who was in all the history books here in America and was regularly celebrated. Until we got more honest with our history, now it's Indigenous People's Day in many places (That Italian Asshole Day just doesn't look as good on a calendar I guess).
If the Chinese had taken over the world then maybe we would be reading about someone else discovering the Americas (and probably called something else too) but as it stands Europeans did and that's who winds up in the history books.

So European culture is to blame for all this? You 'll have to be more specific, what have the Europeans done that nobody else have managed to do?

As far Johansson's role in the movie goes, I can take her or leave her really, they could have cast an Asian action star and I would have been fine with that. But the choice of Johansson was less about nerds like me and more about getting everyone else into the theater. Oh, and I think Idris Elba would make an awesome James Bond, just sayin.
