Going to see a movie premier....

[Hutch]

....but not one you've probably heard of.

Bart Sibrel, who purports that we never went to the Moon, is showing off his new film tonight a 7pm at the Belcourt Theatre in Nashville, TN.

I'm going as a "true witness" on behalf of the folks at the Bad Astronomy Bulletin Board, along with a couple of other BABBer's. It will be my first direct contact with the fringe, and I'm looking forward to it, but also with a degree of trepidation.

Any advice?

[Brown]

Don't comb your hair.

Ask others if they've spotted any CIA agents yet.

Bring a handmade sign that says "We never went to the moon" except you misspell the word "moon."

Start a rumor that NASA was planning to file a lawsuit to prevent the truth from coming out.

Complain afterward that you thought you were going to see "The Passion of the Christ."

Ask Bart who is going to distribute his film: Universal or Paramount.

Tell Bart to save up for a tuxedo, 'cause he's got an Oscar condender there, baby!

Here's a serious piece of advice. Try not to laugh. Do not mock the film openly. Listen to what it has to say. Take notes if you can. Write down exact quotes, if you can. If there is merit in the film, take note of that, too. Be courteous. A lot of people there probably take this "work" seriously, and even if you think they're suckers, they still deserve politeness.

Is this the guy that Buzz Aldrin decked?

Editted to add: yes it is. (http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/sibrel.html)

I love that story.

If you see the guy, look over his shoulder and say, "Oh, hi Buzz!" and see if he jumps.

If we went to the moon why did they call it a lunar lander. Hah!
