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

    Old typewriters did not have a 1, a lower case L was used instead. Because of this the l's had to look like 1's.

    Yeah that was the worst stretch by far hahaha

    He was slowly opening my mind to the theory until it I heard this damn guy add 2 plus 2 together and convince us it was 11

    Capricorn "L" ftw. Interesting, but lots of jumps and I would think too many snags in that it must be using things that WERE in the book to justify Kubrick's supposed intentions.

    Do people still not believe we landed on the moon? Wasn't there an article about a week ago where scientists were looking at pictures of the moon landing site that were recently taken and they were surprised the flags were still standing?

    The conspiracy theory is that we didn't land on the moon in 1969, not that we didn't make it there later.

    Seriously? So the idea is to fake the initial landing, with thousands of people in the hoax, and then quietly and secretly land later to place the evidence that would be missing from the fake Eagle, etc? Wow, wow and wow.

    I think the Earth is also faking its spin. I mean, why is there no incredible wind if we're spinning?

    Makes about as much sense as the theory that we planted bombs all over the WTC, then crashed planes into them to distract people from figuring it out.

    If he had just talked about how there was all this imagery related to space travel, I'd say sure. Obviously Kubrick must have an interest in the subject, given 2001: A Space Odyssey.

    The part with Danny standing on a hypothetical launching pad with his Apollo 11 sweater is probably the one thing he talked about that I really found intriguing.

    Not to necessarily secretly land (though that is a theory). They did have 6 missions to the moon. It was a race to see who could get there first. You could infer that the Americans knew they were close, but that the Soviets would beat them, so they staged the initial landing to win.

    Edit: Personally, I don't see how they could keep something so big a secret.

    That is because terrorists planting bombs in the WTC would have been unbelievable. Its not like terrorists have ever successfully bombed a building...

    Story about room 237:

    "The Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood in Oregon was used for the front exterior, but all the interiors as well as the back of the hotel were specially built at Elstree Studios in London, England. The management of the Timberline requested that Stanley Kubrick not use 217 for a room number (as specified in the book), fearing that nobody would want to stay in that room ever again. Kubrick changed the script to use the nonexistent room number 237."

    From http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081505/trivia

    I would think enough people would want to stay in that room that it would have offset any losses.

    We were trying to see how many pages it could go. Way to go.

    I have been feverishly working on a video that shows conclusively that Star Wars is really about how we faked (sic) the "moon" "landing." Shhhh. Kenobi's famous line is central.

    To be fair, thats the order of all the emotions...starting with thinking of it as a joke, to realizing there might be something there, to becoming enlightened.

    One or two of those faces would have made the message incomplete.
