Hanks' "IMAX moon-walk" filmed on-location ' '

WELL, ALMOST.  Before continuing, I will say that I've
enjoyed more television programs on HBO than any other                    
     
network. Sopranos, Deadwood, Six Feet Under (the final
episode of which royally kicked ass), Def Poetry, Wire,
Oz, Carnivale, Rome, and the list goes on; great films,                   
  
great boxing, great comedy, etc. Basically, all around   
the best programming over all cable/satellite networks.   

While we see not-so-funny-any-more comedians the likes          
of George Karlin and Bill Maher over-politicizing what   
should be mostly entertaining (to their own detriment),   
we must remember what Tim Robbins recently said on the                    
   
latter's show that, albeit I'm paraphrasing from memory,
"art is too im****tant to be politicized", or something
to that effect. Indeed, art should ALWAYS be for art's        
sake, i.e. for the benefit of the artist and those who 
behold their artwork--all to the glory of God Almighty.
                              
With that said...                                           
  
Just last night (Sunday, October 23rd), I watched some
"buzz" on HBO about Tom Hanks' latest endeavor entitled             
'Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D' which
has been several years in the making, and is allegedly
a "re-creation of the six lunar landings", which it is
in fact: seeing that Hank's new 3-D version was filmed   
at Sony's Stage 27 in Culver City, California, under a              
powerful 300,000-watt "sun" lamp, on a football-field-
sized "moonscape"; whereas NASA's original "landings" 
were filmed, taped and photographed under large domes  
at Area 51 in the Nevada high-desert under top secrecy.
Both were filmed on terrestrial movie sets. Therefore,                  
this new version is very much a recreation of the old. :-D
           
The "buzz" also reminded viewers of their twelve-part  
miniseries 'From the Earth to the Moon' (first aired                   
back in 1998) which Hanks produced & narrated--three                      
           
years after his starring role in the film 'Apollo 13';                    
        
all very riveting, all make believe and nothing more.     
     
And *speaking* of dates, recall the controversial FOX     
network production of 'Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land    
on the Moon?' which first aired on February 15th 2001   
(and was shown again some days later). I'd videotaped  
this at the time, and earlier this month copied it on-  
to DVD as I watched it again. It was pretty well done,   
albeit only cursory treatment was given to the myriad                     
 
and glaring discrepancies prevalent throughout NASA's
patently impossible "men to the moon" fish story (as
would become entertaining fodder for 'Capricorn One'). :-D

Tom Hanks said of his new IMAX film "This is a movie        
about the world's greatest road trip...we're going to      
put people up there..." (i.e. as if to be on the Moon). 
                 
After all, the Moon IS the localized sphere of God's
Universal powers of imagination, of dreams, emotions,              
the creator in the trinity of the unconscious waters.
Thus it is befitting that the unwary m***** strive to              
imagine humans actually walking on the lunar surface. 
It's a DREAM that makes for transforming conversation. :-D
