Merged Apollo "hoax" discussion / Lick observatory laser saga

[JayUtah]

Mosfilm is a general film studio. It is reasonable to believe they would employ a cinematographer. However 200 films is quite a large number of films to have worked on in the feature film industry. Although the number of films is given repeatedly, no actual verifiable titles are given. I can claim to be a cinematographer for Imagine Entertainment and to have worked on hundreds of films. But that claim would be as unverifiable as this person's.

Further, this person supplies only general-knowledge commentary on cinematography, and commits at least one significant novice error.

He also claims affiliation with VGIK, which lists no such person. That is suspicious.

He is providing what he intends to be expert testimony. If the witness cannot be qualified as an expert, then it is merely a layman's opinion. As has been said already, this person has no verifiable existence (or even any documented existence) outside the conspiracy-theory world. And in that world he seems to be making quite a big splash.

Peter, if you understand that the LRV is driven with a side-stick, then why are you reproducing the claim? Do you dispute that the side stick operation is the best reason for why the astronaut's arm does not move?

 

[Peter May]

Why??


Why do you feel the need to reproduce this garbage here? It certainly adds no meaningful information to this discussion...

I agree it's about as meaningful as yours, probably a bit more.

Do you believe this alleged cinematographer's claims have merit? If so, elaborate. If not, why did you post it?

 

[R.A.F.]

deleted as unnecessary...

 

[R.A.F.]

Well, that's understandable since there is no credible evidence that he even exists.

I should say "there is no credible evidence he exists outside of the hoax believer community"

 

[R.A.F.]

I see. Then who is this?

And why have they done all of this?

According to your link, the supplied address does not exist on google maps, although the street does. In fact, your supposed 1200 employees somehow fit into a bedsit in a Moscow slum.

How likely do you think that is?

Why am I not surprised that this whole thing looks to be a "scam".

...and I wonder just who is perpetuating that scam??

Hmmmm??

Well, that is what I thought. Literally nothing. No credits, no references, nothing at all. Only references on hoax sites. Even VKID has no record of him.

If you are only here to promote this hoax believer garbage, and my post "exposes" that as you "motive", then my post actually does "contribute" to this discussion.

Answer Jay's question.

Hmmmm??

Urge to investigate obvious scam? Nil.

ETA: Whoopsy, typo.

It's as meaningful as your comment as to adding meaningful information to the discussion, probably a bit more. Don't you agree?
But don't just ask me, ask all the others who have posted it and get their opinion.

This is babble. Please tell us why you posted that paragraph.

Why can't you just answer the question?...why are you posting this "hoax believer garbage" if you don't agree with it??

Did I say Google maps? paste the address into Google and you will see the URL. OK.

Oddly, you ignored the real mosfilms links, yet glommed onto the google maps link. Why is that?

Was that supposed to be clever ?

 

[mercatormac]

You haven't posted a single mosfilm link. You have instead posted links to Orchestral Recording Company.

You didn't read the link. That might have something to do with it.

Here you go again.

Try reading it.

Oh, an URL -- yes, a website is so much more impressive than actual brick and mortar.

That link is to the Orchestral Recording Company, who have studios at the Mosfilm site in Moscow.

Wikipedia's page on Mosfilm says "After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Mosfilm continued operations as a quasi-private production company... As of 2005, the company embraced ten independent studios, located within 13 pavilions...".

It sounds as if ORC is only one of the independent studios on the site. I may be mistaken, but I'm stuck since Mosfilm's website http://www.mosfilm.ru/main.php resists my attempts to translate it into english and I can't read russian.

OK, I could well be wrong. I have no issue there. I have no russian, so easily could have been misled/mistaken.
