Space may be the final frontier, but it's made in a Hollywood basement.

And Cobain, can you hear the spheres singing songs off Station To Station?
And Alderaan's not far away, it's Californication

Jimmy cracked corn and i dont care.

Well at least that one made sense from a financial point of view. Usually scenes in the Moon or even Mars would be cheaper to film on site.

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

any sources to back that claim?

[-] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

It's a common joke because the average budget of a sci-fi blockbuster is higher than a typical space mission.

Of course that's comparing apple's to oranges at several levels, but that's why it's a joke, otherwise Hollywood would have it's own space program.

Hold up, TARS was a animatronic!? That's so cool, I thought it was full CGI.

Edit- Actually I think it was CASE that landed on Miller with them, oop

Here's some behind-the-scenes about them https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7xe84b

It was manually puppeted most of the time rather than being animatronic, but obviously with all the things that TARS and CASE can do they had to build different props for each one

Awesome thanks for sharing. This movie was a master class.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Tars is real, and he loves you

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 10 points 1 month ago

Capricorn One was ahead of its time, the whole movie was about the Mars landing being filmed on Earth… completely filmed on Earth.

[-] Sergio@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 month ago

They're filming a version in space, but in one day in space is like a dozen years on Earth so it won't be done until 2187.

Saw this the other day on prime:

Had to screenshot

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Nolan really phoning it in. Didn't even go to another planet?

[-] nesc@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 month ago

Big if true 🤔

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

that's capitalism for you. they cut so many corners they don't even shoot on location anymore.

[-] don@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

ffs not even sure why I bother anymore it’s all a lie

[-] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

holy shit, I feel so cheated.

[-] EfreetSK@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago
[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

yeah we clearly saw the actor fly through a wormhole and crash on another planet

[-] rdri@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

They aren't even trying anymore eh

[-] leftytighty@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

I have such a hard time getting used to "positive anymore"

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

Not even disappointed at this point tbh

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Is this the newest bullshit from the "moon landing was filmed on a Hollywood set" crowd? How'd they make his kids age without relativistic effects from a black hole, geniuses? Science is your friend, no need to fear it.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Bullshit. Remember the waves? Like Earth could pull anything like that off.
