...not to mention that a conspiracy of this magnitude would require literally thousands of people remaining quiet for the rest of their lives, implying government threats of retribution.

You're telling me that of the thousands of people who worked on the supposed Kubrick set, at NASA, the astronauts, government officials...no one ever openly admitted to this massive conspiracy? Even in old age while lying on their death bed, no one ever thought, "It's time the world knew the truth. The moon landing was faked. Kubrick filmed it."

My uncle has worked in Mission Control since the early 1980s as an aeronautical engineer. He spent 30 years working on STS takeoff.

I can tell you with certainty that NASA employees take great offense to the moon landing conspiracy. The conspiracy assumes that NASA employees must constantly lie about their organization's history. The conspiracy assumes that the brilliant people at NASA aren't so brilliant after all...unless you consider hiring movie directors to stage a moon landing. That would indeed be brilliant, but also sinister and pathetic.

Essentially, if you believe in the conspiracy, you're implying that NASA employees aren't brilliant enough to have sent men to the moon.

At first glance, the Ls do appear to be ones. However, they aren't. Look at the Ls in the word "dull" and "play". They are the exact same.


Thanks for reading my comments. I already said this, so you informing me of it makes no sense.

Also, a big fuss is made about Danny wearing an Apollo 11 sweater. Why?


Because the pattern of the carpet that he is sitting on is the same as the Apollo launch pad. He stands up from the center of it, and walks down the hall to room 237 (which is a different room number from the book). When the movie was made it was thought that the distance from the earth to the moon was 237 million miles.

That's one of the first things anyone reads about concerning the double meanings of this movie, so obviously you haven't read much on this topic, which you claim.

Calm down, ace.

Again, you didn't read my comments. You're showing signs of narcissism.

Early in this thread I said that just because there could have been staged moon footage doesn't mean they didn't also go to the moon. Stop with the zero sum thinking and assumptions based on what the generic moon hoaxer believes.

They very well may have, and I believe they did go to the moon. But I also think they capitalized on the sensation of it all by filming footage in studios to show to the public.

I liked the first 6 Friday the 13th movies. However, when I watch them now I usually end up busting out laughing.

Did you know Kubrick's adaptation totally changed Kings novel in an effort to admit his involvement with the Apollo program?

Once it's shown to you it's not even debatable, it's a clear admission.

There's a horrible documentary called Room 237 that explains the meaning, but there is a much better one by the Kubrick guru Jay Weidner.



Mogray gonna mogray

If you had actually seen Room 237, you'd know that, according to conspiracy theorists like yourself, The Shining is also about the Holocaust and the genocide of Native Americans.

The people who made the documentary don't believe any of the conspiracies they present in the film.

He did drastically change the novel. That's not hearsay.

The things that he changed are clearly understandable once explained. Either he is confessing or he's trolling. But either way, there is a ton of substance to the Code of the Shining.

Room 237 is a sad excuse for a documentary, they just compiled clips from other documentaries. The guys that made it are bafoons of the highest degree. Jay Weidner is the man for anything and everything Kubrick.

You're in the vast minority

It's not supposed to reveal and explain some hidden truth within The Shining. The whole point of the documentary is to show how crazy some people can go in dissecting the most meaningless things in a work of fiction.

I'm used to being in the minority with my opinions, if it was the other way around I'd be worried.

I can all but promise that most people that saw Room 237 have never heard of Jay Weidner or seen his work.

Maybe you forget that Kubrick was killed after showing Eyes Wide Shut to the studio execs. He was immediately killed, the film was drastically edited and released. It's the ultimate illuminati movie.. he was always interested in exposing things, he went a bit too far with his original version of EWS, and it cost him his life.

After making a brief trip to his website, I conclude that this is a good thing.
