Yes: within the context of a sci-fi movie - he wasn't anticipating his work being hung at the Hayward, as far as I know.

I've thought about it, and you're right, Hal.


They should have got Kubrick to do the the moon landing hoax film pics.

Tie him in contractually for the sequel, of course.

For Apollo 14: shake things up a bit. Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer would be a fine choice.

Apollo 15: Romcom? Someone with a light touch (suggestions?)

Apollo 16: 'Moon: The Musical'. Baz Luhrmann to direct.

Final Mission: George Lucas - (proven track record in sci-fi)

My friend, the marine biologist, actually knows more about under our oceans than about space.

lol, he's totally human, he will be playing at the Dogstar this saturday if anyone wants proof...


ok that was a shameless plug for my buddy Dan

I think on the overwhelming balance of probabilities (one cannot be certain obviously: in this life there are only three certainties - death, taxes and the hijacking of EDF threads by the terminally unamusing :))) the moon landing cannot have been a hoax and must really have happened. My reasoning is simple. A hoax would have needed a large number of conspirators/participants and they'd have long ago been queueing up to write the book or sell the story of what really happened...But there's been nary a sniff of one. Although we do now know that JFK was a womaniser whose father plotted with the mafia to buy the 1960 election - both revelations unthinkable in the 60's when JFK was seen as the young god cut down in his prime - and we can be reasonably certain Marilyn Monroe was murdered, of the moon landing not one illicit photo of the film set where it "happened" or a memoir from the grandson of the guy who supplied the "genuine" moon rocks.....

Lo and behold, a couple of low res images from the Reconnaissance Orbiter were published on July 15, 2009, just four days before my post! (See 2nd & 3rd links below.)


I include three particularly interesting links if anyone else wants to read the latest on this subject:

Apollo Moon Landing Hoax Accusers

Independent Evidence for Apollo Moon Landings

Well although admittedly my tongue was at least partly in my cheek there's been much detailed speculation of this over the decades (The Mafia, Bobby Kennedy etc). The most recent "take" I read was in Patricia Cornwell's "Scarpetta"...

Well although admittedly my tongue was at least partly in my cheek


Fair enough: I am a thick, as I have mentioned before.


I do know that Cornwell is convinced Sickert was the Ripper, and seems to have lost her marbles a bit on that one - buying dozens of his paintings and allegedly destroying one or two looking for his DNA.

Bloody 'ell. I thought Etch A Sketch was a bit 'out there'!

    • Just wanted to let you all know that Dulwich Antiques is serving free takeaway coffee (Old Spike), tea and hot chocolate all day every Sunday. We’re open today till 5pm.  Dulwich Antiques, 3 Upland Road. Hopefully see you there! Rachel & Conrad 
    • But is it the Village councillors who are maintaining the board, or someone else? When the boards in East Dulwich were installed, it wasn't the councillors who kept the information up to date, it was Monica from Health Matters, who was greatly involved in various  community matters (eg the building of the community garden at what was then Dulwich Hospital). I can't remember if it was her who initiated the installation of the boards in the first place. She no longer lives in East Dulwich, and nobody else appears to be willing to liaise with the councillors and community related organisations  to take this on for the various East Dulwich boards.  It would hardly take much effort. Basic information doesn't frequently change (and no, I'm not volunteering. I am overstretched as it is). It's all very well to  get a physical  community notice board spruced up, but not much use if it then isn't being used for its intended purpose. And I can't see that it is part of a councillor's job to update notice boards which they didn't initiate in the first place. I'm sure they have more than enough to do.  The notice boards serve (or did do) a useful service, but all the information which could be put on them is surely available elsewhere. (Unless it is bringing to people's attention things which are of use/interest to them and they weren't aware they needed/would like, or didn't know how else to find the information). ETA: Oh. I've just read the beginning of this thread. I'd forgotten how it started. It's gone well off topic, hasn't it. Probably just as well, reading the OP.
    • The board in the Village (just near the pub) is in pristine condition, full of council-related information (though someone had stuck a flyer on the glass, now removed). Maybe the councillors there actually CBA to make use of a facility that took time, effort and taxpayers’ money to instal?
