They wanted to fake a moon landing and after analyzing cost they concluded that the cheapest option was to film on location.
After the big rocket the costs were mostly catering
That’s just a psyop, NASA and the CIA were hiding some of the world’s leading stable diffusion models for the time in a secret underground Data center somewhere in the Nevada desert.
I thought that was under Cheyenne Mountain?
CGI in 1982 was better:
I heard they got Stanley Kubrick to fake the landing, but he was such a stickler for accuracy he got them to actually go to the moon to film it.
I’m not sure how he was in 1969(?) but by the time he made Full Metal Jacket in the 1980s(?) he was so afraid of flying, he had palm trees brought in to England rather than shoot on location in Vietnam. Which is why all the palm trees in that movie look dead as hell. So I’m guessing he would not have gone to the moon, but would have had moon craters brought to him. Which means someone would have had to go to the moon to get them. Therefore, we went to the moon. Checkmate atheists.
Everyone talks about the fake landing but nobody ever talks about the fake sequel they released four months later
Special effects in late 60s:
2001: A Space Odyssey has very good effects
Of course it does. It’s made by that guy who faked the moon landing and then beat up Olive Oyl
Wait what’s the Olive Oyl story?
They’re referring to Kubrick’s renowned intense treatment of his actors to evoke the emotions he wants to see, particularly Shelly Duvall in The Shining, who also played Olive Oyl in the live-action Popeye movie.
He kept Shelly Duvall terrified for almost that entire movie
Bluto?
I came for transforming monke robots, but what I got was the most kino character death out of all children’s cartoons.
