Conspiracy Theories

That's true we'll hopefully someday we can overcome the laws of physics to go to distant planets and explore different areas of the universe. Maybe even go see Dominaria??? Lol

I have a friend with a knack for creating convincing conspiracy theories for comedic effect. He can do all the classic traits like misdirection, quote-mining, he invents experts and authors you've never heard of (because they don't exist) and cite articles that are not real. It's often funny to hear him invent math, witnesses, and other things to weave a tale. It is also painfully obvious that "real" conspiracies theories are often made of similar stuff, all placed on weak foundations and all admitting of the purposeful omission of certain inconvenient facts.

Thats a pretty cool guy there. That's actually a cool talent to just make stuff up on the spot to convince people of certain things. Is he a lawyer? Lol

I guess some things have weak foundations but they're just foundations and one must do their own research in determining whether or not something happened

I just watched Room 237.

It didn't really make a whole lot of sense to me.

Every so called "discovery" made within the last century is just a rediscovery of ancient knowledge. Take the atomic bomb for example. When one detonates, it creates a new type of fused rock at the impact site. Several of these rocks have been discovered in India dated at thousands of years old. The Bahavad Gita also describes a nuclear war taking place in India at about the same frame.

A lot of it is just cinephiles grasping at straws but I still enjoy all the symbolism and the honestly strange signs Kubrick injected that had to do with the lunar landing. It is what it is haha

I thought a lot of it made sense when explained in context. But what they have to realize is that The Shining was originally a novel and has a clear cut meaning behind it. Kubrick was a mastermind director though. Except for when he forgot A Clockwork Orange had a last chapter and ended the movie with Alex's vision of heaven.

The Shining may be my favorite movie. I wanted to love Room 237 so much, but it's sloppy and disjointed. So many of the crazy conspiracies make so many assumptions about Kubbrick and his work. With a movie as dense and involved as the Shinning, some cling to continuity errors and tiny indecipherable signs in the background.
