I still kind of like them. They're escapist fun, and while none of the other's reach the heights of Empire Strikes Back they are still an enjoyable yarn. They can't all be as good as each other. One has to stand out.

Even in classical mythology not all the tales measure up. Could just be the nature of the story.

I still think cinema is richer for them even parts I - III.

Yeah, actually you're spot on there.

In the 60's-70's vein of space movies, I just watched Silent Running, and MAN was I offended by the sound in space thing. Trumble worked on 2001- didn't he LEARN anything????
Plus, the story was kind of simplistic. Good songs, though.

What's wrong with this poster?

This is a reference to the fake Apollo program, that Kubrick was involved in as Chief Magician and Brainwasher.

THINK about it. First clue, Arthur C Clarke renamed Jupiter as LUCIFER in 2010. That's what Freemasonry is all about, according to Albert Pike in Morals and Dogma, and other Masonic kingpins, who also ran NASA and "walked" on the "moon". Here's a tip: never trust a Satanist, nor a coven, especially when their hands are in your pocket. "Hoodwink" is what they call it. Apollo is the name for Lucifer/Satan/Devil in Revelation 9:11. Picture Eyes Wide Shut, and Neil Armstrong at Bohemian Grove refusing (not allowed) to discuss his "moon walk". Speaking of homosexual pedophiles, wasn't Clarke one?

Clue 2: No rocket exhaust in 2001... just like Apollo LEMs "blasting off" from the "moon" without a flame. In 2001 the transporter is traveling at a constant very low altitude over the surface of the Moon, 1,000s of mph below orbital velocity, enroute to the Monolith, with zero rocket flame, smoke or condensation. Even the golfball Moon lander lacked a flame when landing. Only 2001 posters had rocket exhaust flames, contrary to the film, just like Apollo art didn't match the NASA video.

Clue 3: "No sound in space" is only true when outside the spacecraft. Inside it's extremely loud due to the air transmitting sound and vibration from standing beside a red-hot rocket engine. But in Apollo LEMs and 2001, theres no sound INSIDE the spacecraft.

Clue 4: Just do your LSD and STFU. Flying inside the monolith with cheesy alpha channel SFX I can do on $80 video editing software from Best Buy.

Clue 5: There's no such thing as radiation in space.

Dr Floyd's speech would fit right in to an Apollo briefing. "We have to fake it now to win the Cold War (smirk, while losing Vietnam), then we'll make it happen later." Typical speech to soldiers to do their "top secret" job, and STFU. Same speech I got as a soldier in the Cold War, that later proved to be BS.

Mr. Halvorsen has made known to me some of the conflicting views held by many of you regarding the need for complete security in this matter, and more specifically your strong opposition to the cover story created to give the impression there is an [insert topic here] at the Base. I understand that beyond it being a matter of principle, many of you are troubled by the concern and anxiety this story of an [insert topic here] might cause your relatives and friends on Earth.

I can understand and sympathize with your negative views. I have been personally embarrassed by this cover story. But I fully accept the need for absolute secrecy and I hope you will.

It should not be difficult for all of you to realise the potential for cultural shock and social disorientation contained in th present situation if the facts were prematurely and suddenly made public without adequate preparation and conditioning.

When the public has been "conditioned" after decades, or centuries, of Apollo Hoax facts, then the Truth can be safely admitted without a prison sentence, and a real manned Moon mission MIGHT take place. Unless gamma radiation cannot be overcome, or the elite godhumans have genocided/enslaved the human subrace.

This is the future of t

Dude, what the fuck are you babbling about now?

Arthur Clarke "renamed Jupiter LUCIFER"? Where'd you get that? Did you pull it out of your ass along with all your other "facts"?

Speaking of homosexual pedophiles, aren't YOU one? You seem awfully obsessed with them. Methinks thou dost protest too much!

Let the wild rumpus start!
