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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

I feel like Hollywood was trolling with Connery's roles. They cast him as a fucking Russian sub commander with that accent!
Yet he nailed the role. They changed all of the Russian lines to English anyways, with a really creative method that hadn't been done before.
And before the switch, they showed him speaking Russian so the audience could realise what a good decision it was!
That movie holds up!
Hollywood movies rarely do accents right anyway.
Well it just wouldn't be the same if a guy wearing a tux came up to a woman and said "Ello' Gov'nah! Name is Bond. James Bond, it surely is!"
Dick Van Dyke for the next Bond?
It's as if any play is for a given audience, and we have to bridge the gap with our own imagination. Crazy, right? 😆
Mind, I'm not criticizing your point, I agree with it, Hollywood has never been great with accents, it just has to be "good enough", like watching a stage play and the props have to be "good enough".
