yes Kubtrick is a genius. he made the Apollo movies, where the US GOVT told the people that man landed on the moon. He made them in Nevada Area 51 and they were played while the astronauts orbitted the earth. Thank you Stanley, you illuminati prick.
“he made the Apollo movies” Besides the obvious, (1) if Stanley Kubrick had been part of the secret group that faked the moon landings, don’t you think they would have looked better? (2) if you read any bio of Kubrick he was a control freak, so I’m not sure he would have worked well with the other conspirators and (3) as a Jew, I’m not sure he is allowed in the Illumnati?? Not sure on the last one, the rules may have changed since I was a member.

Um, No6 is the kind of nutter that believes 911 was a inside job, the jews are the cause of trouble in the middle east, that george bush is *simultaneously* an idiot and an evil genius, and of course, man did not goe to the moon….and yet, these sorts also think Hillary or Obama will solve everything. Oh, I forgot - we are evil and everybody else will play nice if we just ask them to…..
The world will not end with a bang, or a whimper, but with civility and intelligence drowning in a sea of idiots enabled to shout round the world via the new media.

That would be a whimper. Don’t try to pwn Eliot unless you have something pwn-worthy.

1.) Even if 9/11 was an inside job, we’ll never know.
2.) U.S. favoring of Israel in the middle east instead of taking a neutral, mediating stance is the cause of most of the trouble.
3.) George Bush isn’t running this show.
4.) Obama will change everything. If he lives long enough to be sworn in, it is my opinion that he will turn this country around. Our nation building and imperialism is catching up to us. Thanks to our policy of shoot first ask questions later, we may find ourselves in Iran looking for the same things we didn’t find in Iraq. Not to mention that while we remain in Iraq, our dollar becomes more inflated, and more and more of each dollar we pay to the government goes to keeping us over there.
That’s just my opinion, and I am but a naieve kid. But man is this world getting scary.
Good captain christ… It really is true. The internet is populated by the loudest, dumbest people in existence, with no exceptions.
This is a photograph of one of the most inspired and amazing cinematographers on the set of one of his most emotionally moving and dramatic films. The fact that some retard doesn’t believe that the moon landing was real shouldn’t detract from it, let alone pull all the attention away from it.
Indeed, the people convinced that the moon landing was faked are also the people who feel that 9/11 was an inside job. They’re the people who believe that the government is populated by illuminated, sinister, and devious men, hell bent on crushing all forms of free thought and expression. They feel that the Zapruder film shows perfect evidence of any of their little piddling theories based off of nothing but conjecture and flights of fancy. They’re the ones who feel that our government is in fact competent, of all things.
THAT is the biggest logical fallacy of all. We, in our refusal to fix the glaring and moronic problems with the democratic system in our country, are allowing the propagation of mediocrity in our elected officials.
It truly is a dark day when the comments on /b/ are more intelligent than a comment list about Stanley Kubrick.
Perhaps I missed the answer to this above…
Which film is this picture from?
Just the words “Kubrick on set” don’t explain…
And, no, not everyone knows who he is!
Morons, its Mel Gibson on the Apocalypto set. It’s right before Braveheart gets into the time machine to get the laser tech needed to topple the Mayan conquistadors and fight the disease.
Didn’t you know? Kubrick was lucky enough to borrow a special super f0.7 lens from NASA for shooting the candle lit dinner scene scene in Barry Lyndon.. and in return he agreed to stage and direct the film of the moonlanding…
I’m so amused/depressed by this comment thread. It’s a bit of a feat to be simultaneously amused and depressed by one thing, but I’m a bit of a multitasker. Anyway, really cool photo. I miss the time when a bit harder sci-fi actually made it to reputable movies.
Yes it is true that Kubrick made the moon landing footage - it’s also true he made 2001: A Space Odyssey.
What most people don’t realise however is that, due to a clerical error, the names of these two films were accidentally switched prior to release.
What we know as the moon landings is in fact Kubrick’s original ‘2001′ story, and what we know as ‘2001′ is in fact an authentic documentary about the voyage to the moon.
So I’m sorry to burst anyone’s bubbles, but there’s no real conspiracy here. Just a stupid clerk who put the wrong reels in the wrong cases and no-one ever had the gumption to admit it.
Comment by Kubrick's actual son — May 31, 2008 @ 11:11 pm
I knew I should have destroyed this photograph or it would end in internet over a thread written by a bunch of assholes.
ps: 2001 was meh, until the end where he walks into a room and finds himself but old…wtf? Stupid. (the only ‘good’ part of it was the beginning showing how man ‘evolved’ to use a club on his enemy.)

He never made the Apollo films. Apollo 13 was directed by Ron Howard. Mah.
Oh Sweetie, by “Apollo” films, he’s not talking about the cinematic releases. He’s talking about the conspiratorial nonsense that absurdists have been spewing since the release of “Capricorn One”. He’s talking about the so-called studio produced films of Niel Armstrong et. al. landing on the moon..walking on the moon…the whole nine yards.
I liked the books better, but it’s an awseome pic.
And what a way to get sidetracked by 1 idiots remark, i’m supprised there is’t an ‘photoshopped’ comment somewhere in the tread…
For the record, it’s the set of the “habition module”, a ring (simulating gravity by spinning) whitch is part of a larger spaceship, all from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey
One of my favorite movies and books series. These sets were so elaborate and ahead of their time. Masterpiece!
useless. grow up dude.
Awesome! Its too bad that they completely destroyed the sets after filming the movie.
Kubrick didn’t want them reused in another project without his permission.
Kubrick is a genius.
Kubrick [del]is[/del] was a genius.

How about you google MIT and 911 if you want to know. The first youtube vid is also quite good.

Isn’t that Jerry Bruckheimer on the set of Armageddon?
