  I have a theory: Maybe the whole Moon landing conspiracy theory was
initiated by NASA itself, to draw attention away from something much
more serious. When people are fighting over whether the landings were
real or not, they will miss the real issue.

  (What the real issue is? I haven't formed a theory about that yet, but
keep tuned...)

They probably believe that anything could happen in the West :)

	Awesome movie (in the "fun" sense). I think it's seriously 
underappreciated.

Are you going to be using the remote control, or will someone else?

Ah, I phrased it wrong. The actual quote is "Secretly attempting to control 
my own mind."

I was thinking along the lines of "Having an out of body experience, but
it's alright, I have this remote control!"

Well, given you can find idiots in places like Florida that actually 
state things like this:

"Obama is a Marxist... What's a Marxist anyway?", and be seriously 
apposed to what they don't even fracking know the definition of...

http://www.youtube.com/v/2wLYgbS8HeA&hl=en&fs=1&

Not sure which is more annoying, the idiots, or the idiot with the drum. 
Video comes from this guy, who has been documenting this insanity:

     if version = "Vista" {
       call slow_by_half();
       call DRM_everything();
     }
     call functional_code();
   }
   else
     call crash_windows();
}

Except when they, of course, for no damn good reason, erase someone's 
entire life history, to discredit their work in UFOs, instead of doing 
the *sane* thing and just arranging for the poor sap to have a car 
accident, *before* he publishes a dozen books claiming the government is 
lying about everything:

http://swallowingthecamel.blogspot.com/2009/08/hoaxes-from-space-part-i-bob-lazar.html

Hell, its almost enough to make me shoot them, never mind the "super 
secret, hidden, government within the government, that can do 
*everything* except shut up a few random people that claim they exist."
