i wonder what they do for entertainment ...besides dads army.
do they just simply survive and replicate?
plenty of space out there.
i am amazed that we can send probes out so far, so fast without them being hit by rocks or just dust.

Eighteen months ago the first evidence of intelligent life off the Earth was discovered. It was buried 40 feet below the lunar surface near the crater Tycho. Except for a single very powerful radio emission aimed at Jupiter the four-million year old black monolith has remained completely inert. Its origin and purpose are still a total mystery.

At our peril do we glance at, let alone set foot upon, accursed Phobos, lest we stir that which slumbers.

I really hope a compassionate species is out there observing us and making sure we dont go to far, guiding us in subtle ways like a intergalactic nature reserve,
stop something like this occurring

I watched that again recently, my god what a masterpiece. The space scenes are immaculate. No wonder they hired him to fake the moon landings.

that whole movie is a delicious mindfuck. Have you seen the Room 237 doc? Some of the theories go overboard but it's mostly plausible - especially the hints about native genocide.

I havent heard the native genocide theory, but i will have to watch the documentary, however i have seen the theory about how the set is a logical impossibility, with windows in the wrong place and rooms impossible sizes in relation to the rest of the hotel, i found that very plausible as i know Kubrick had the most incredible eye for detail, and it would give you an unsettling feeling that would be subconscious, like the massive gold room or the Torrance apartment extending out so far, i cant believe it wasnt intentional

Ah, thanks for the link! I forgot where I'd seen the geometry of the Overlook examined in such exhaustive detail. I thought it was in Room 237 but I couldn't find it. The bit about doors to nowhere and impossible rooms is nuts. I also just watched that guy's video tying the "gold room" to the federal reserve and goddamn if it isn't plausible, especially given Kubrick being a gold bug, and the contents of the scrapbook prop.
Is there anything that isn't referenced in that movie?! Has anyone found hints about the JFK assassination?

Thx for the "recommendation" - I've just watched Room 237. Yeah, it has its nutty moments [I've never treated symbols or numerology too seriously], but I find most of the film very interesting. Especially this bit:
01:36:00,969 --> 01:36:02,637 - One can always argue that Kubrick
1869 01:36:02,638 --> 01:36:06,551 had only some or even none of these in mind.
1870 01:36:06,552 --> 01:36:09,522 But we all know from postmodern film criticism
1871 01:36:09,523 --> 01:36:13,058 that author intent is only part of the story
1872 01:36:13,059 --> 01:36:14,977 of any work of art.
1873 01:36:14,978 --> 01:36:18,897 And those meanings are there regardless
1874 01:36:18,898 --> 01:36:22,484 of whether the creator of the work
1875 01:36:22,485 --> 01:36:24,027 was conscious of them.
I've found that true many times in my music-making - knowing what a particular track was about a while after making it.
BTW Monoid made a thread about post-modernism recently. COINCIDENCE ? I DON'T THINK SO
p.s. while on the "Kubrick secrets" wave I'll watch "Kubrick's Odyssey" too. Watching "The Shining" mirrored seems kinda crazy but I'd love to do it. Gotta find this: LAZY_REDRUM

The relationship between Alan B'stard and Piers is very much like Basil Fawlty and Manuel, i find. lol.

Michael who acts out Piers, is the son of doctor who Patrick Throughton.

fleetmice, I recon they may have took pics on Earth with men in suits, just so they had some good HQ pics to circulate in the press. So very near the time, before the shining.

NASA must have had to share the quarry with John Pertwee and Tom Baker.
Wow what a great privilege. I wonder if Tom signed any of the nasa props? LOL
i do though wonder why there were no dust particulates on the landing feet?
or a blast area?
they made it through the radiation belts o.k. apparently they are lower in radiation levels than nuclear power plant limits, or something like that?

I suppose i agree with Carl Sagan in regards that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, its fun to speculate, I often have debates with my brother who is much smarter than me about ufo visitation of earth, i always play devils advocate and say, well what about such and such and he always has a simple yet plausible explanation that is obviously the best candidate for whatever phenomena is being described.
