Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

They faked it, but it was filmed on location I'm told.

Apollo 8: Orbit the moon

Apollo 9: Test lunar module in earth orbit

Apollo 10: Fly over landing site. Systems check for landing.

Apollo 11: Elaborate sound stage hoax, as a prank on Neil Armstrong

Apollo 12: Land man on the moon for the first time four months later but don't tell anyone it's the first time

Apollo 13: Shameless ratings grab

Apollo 14: Golf on the moon

Apollo 15: Drive golf cart on the moon

Apollo 16: Country club on the moon

Apollo 17: Kill Space Hitler

The moon landing has been faked hundreds if not thousands of times and only done for real like, six.

Fake. No way would Kubrick include that much dialogue.

They faked the soundstage by conducting a real moon landing.

Only Nolan’s commitment to in-camera effects was greater when he generated a real black hole at the LHC.

He had a different script printed for every take. Just the way he liked to work

Every page says all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. It's a shining example of Kubrick's commitment to his craft.

If you account for the 30 retakes/scene Kubrick was known for, the text spans around the planet's equator twice!

Of course the Wicked Witch of the West would be involved....
