Kubrick used his film The Shining to vent about his hand in faking the moon landing??

    There's a documetery this year called Room 237 that deals specifically with the multiple interpretations of Kubrick's The Shining. Lets just say this is not the craziest one in the film. It's actually a really good flick. I think it can be found on torrent.

    Bottom line, Kubrick was a genius artist.

    Watch the Mythbuster moon landing hoax episode. It is pretty conclusive.

    People that are dumping on this video need to actually watch it. I'm convinced that there is some truth to the video.

    Fact: Danny DID have an Apollo 11 sweater on.
    Fact: Tang was in the final shot of Jack in the store room.

    But you guys are too sophisticated to get roped into this "theory" because nobody likes to think that they aren't as insightful. Nobody likes the wool pulled over them.

    These dudes look like noobs. But I suppose their message is easier to shallow since they aren't really saying anything at all about the film itself, so you can be secure that they aren't trying to change your opinion by it. But rather they are saying "oh hey look at these theories, aren't they neat."

    No, just the opposite. Some weird and not that smart people love to fantasize that everyone else but them has the wool pulled over their eyes.

    We landed on the moon. Sorry.

    Maybe Kubrick had 12 hidden meanings, but he did not have some sort of super-secret info that people (like my dad, a branch chief at NASA) did not have. [EDIT: had his wrong title at first. point is just that he and a lot of other people were immersed in so many millions of mission and engineering details, and they were not in on a fix.]

    I found it very interesting. There is obviously some rocket stuff in his movies. I'm not so sure that he staged the landing though.

    Confirmation Bias:

    Confirmation bias refers to a type of selective thinking whereby one tends to notice and to look for what confirms one's beliefs, and to ignore, not look for, or undervalue the relevance of what contradicts one's beliefs

    Good point, Joshfast.

    Here's an example. When you saw the following frame in the movie, what did you think? Some people mistakenly saw blood! Seriously.

    So:confused::confused:

    Watched the whole thing, and there are a ton of reaches in the video. Do I think a hoax is possible? Yes. Do I think "The Shining" or Stanley Kubrick have anything to do with it? No.
