Yooo. It's been roughly... A long time since I posted anything here. It's a good thing no one reads it. I just got back from the theater - I saw "Apollo 18". If you have no idea what that is, IMDb describes it as:
"Decades-old found footage from NASA's abandoned Apollo 18 mission, where two American astronauts were sent on a secret expedition, reveals the reason the U.S. has never returned to the moon."
Cool shit, I say. I'm definitely a sucker for films that are shot in the home-video format, so I was with this thing all the way. It did have come really awesome film techniques and some witty dialogue, but there were a few moments where I was just sitting in my comfy red seat thinking, "WTF." Ultimately, though, I'd give it an 8.5/10. One of the best things about this movie, however, isn't even part of the film itself. It's playing up that whole we-recovered-lost-footage-from-the-government-OMG!-thing, and that's getting a lot of internet attention. At the very beginning of the film, it said all of the footage came from a website entitled lunartruth.com, but if you actually try to go to that address, it tells you it's been taken down. Here are some comments from various internet viewers concerning that website and the movie:
"Calm down your boners everyone. It's a ridiculous marketing ploy. The website didn't exist until 3 months after they stared filming the movie. It was never a real website." -TheAlesanarocks (YouTube)
"I bet you guys that some one hacked into NASA or where ever they keep the secret footage, took the videos and made it as a movie!!!!! Then NASA hired the best person they could to hack into LunaTruth.com and get the the site offline! (we saw this movie earlier tonight. creepy. seemed like real footage!!!!" -Mnnmcutie (Blogger)
"your so stupid its not real, you probly think paranormal activity is real too" -Trevor Wasney, Troll
"they didnt just lie to us about some things..... they lied to us about everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" -Anonymous
These people all make me very, very happy. Especially Trevor, because he's sassy and sucks at spelling. I forgive him, though, because you honestly don't need to know proper English in order to survive in America. I applaud his usage of "too". Also, I like excited bitches who use a billion exclamation points. We get it, you're fucking crazy. Mnnmcutie probably has the best review, right after Trev, because her logic is perfection. She has a very solid argument, and ending her (his... its?) little rant with "seems like it's real!" definitely adds to her logos. It's off the charts, I swear. Her lack of a second parentheses upsets me, though. Dammit, Mnnm, I had such high hopes for you!
In conclusion, I really enjoyed this movie, as well as everyone's reactions. I'm going to try to write things more often, but I that doesn't really mean anything... Anyway, it's really cold in my house, and I would like have dinner. Chinese food, bitches.
