Kubrick DEFINITELY won that one - (despite the fact that I put Spielberg higher up than him as a director)

If Kubrick filmed that scene, everything he described would have been spot on.

I dunno, there is a bit more than that. There are the long reaction shots (notably the vacant expression ones), and most importantly, the crazy but played straight-man characters. I'm not so sure about the editing either, that in particular strikes me as very Anderson-esque (though, in a way it's also Kubrick-esque, and to a lesser degree Coppola-esque, because nothing comes from nowhere).

"How many?"
"The director think's he's Kubrick"
"Ahhh... sign here."

No need to go through the whole Newtons things... easier to keep it all in kg since that's how we think anyway. So on the moon, astronaut + suit = 100/6 = 17 kg. Only about 40 lbs... So an astronaut should have no problem doing a pushup there.

As I said, probably more to due with the awkward, pressurized suits.

However, the jumping part... well, that's a puzzle to me why they aren't able to jump higher since I don't see any mechanical disadvantage. It's one of the arguments for the 'fake moon landing' thing.

However, if the moon surface were 'spongy' then it would be like trying to jump out of a barrel of mud.

Re: conspiracy thing... Alternative 3 claims that Apollo astronauts went to the moon, but discovered the bases that had already been there and were threatened/sworn to silence. Curiously, Neil Armstrong became a public recluse after his career as an astronaut, rarely giving interviews or talking about his experience.

However, if you believe the 'we never went to the moon at all' version, the claim is that NASA hired Stanley Kubrick to film the fake moon landing thing based on his realistic looking 2001.

*beg for Kubrick

I don't think I've ever taken a selfie, so I don't necessarily want to be in the position to have to defend them, but if it's good enough for Stanley Kubrick...

Props for that David Lynch tag. I was thinking Stanley Kubrick, but it wasn't quite right.

What's the music in this? I used to remember the name.

"Lux Aeterna," from the soundtrack for Requiem for a Dream, by Clint Mansell.

Seems like overkill that someone had to add a coir and symbols. Wasn't it epic enough to begin with? Still, nice montage.


Oh, I missed that. This is actually Requiem for a Tower, then, the version re-done for the Two Towers trailer.
