  Moon - Uncyclopedia
The moon is one of the figures primarily remembered for his work on the computer language LISP, but McCarthy got jealous of his powers and banished him to deep space, where he has since remained and collected a large amount random, subcutaneous steller cheese, a fact which is obvious to any four year old.
Thus 'the' moon as a body orbiting 'the' earth is way way in the minority and can be seen as an abberation that in the universe must be regarded as statistically insginificant.
This misconception is caused by the fact that the moon, though made entirely of Stinking Bishop cheese and green food-grade dyes, is covered by a thick layer of dust due to being left in too high an orbit for Earth's janitorial staff to reach.

 Dark Side of the Moon (documentary) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The basic premise for the film is the theory that the television footage from the Apollo 11 Moon landing was faked and actually recorded in a studio by the CIA with help from director Stanley Kubrick.
The tone of the documentary begins with low key revelations of NASA working closely with Hollywood at the time of the Moon landings.
It is finally revealed that this is a mockumentary as the end credits roll over a montage of blooper reels, with the main participants laughing over the absurdity of their lines or questioning if particular ones would give the joke away too soon.

 Dark Side of the Moon Spring 2000 -- Volume 38 No. 2
Moon, who is Korean, and his two Japanese buddies, Sasakawa and Kodama, first joined together in the 1960s to form the Asian People’s Anti-Communist League with the aid of KCIA agents, alleged Japanese organized crime money and financial support from Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek.
In the 1970s, Moon earned notoriety in the Koreagate scandal after female followers of the Unification Church were accused of entertaining and keeping confidential files on several US congressmen whom they “lobbied” at a Washington Hilton I-Intel suite rented by the Moonies.
Moon claimed at these family values conferences that he was the “only one who knows all the secrets of God.” One of them, according to the Chronicle, is that “the husband is the owner of his wife’s sexual organs and vice-versa.”

 The Far Side of the Moon - Robert Lepage
As Lepage mischievously remarks in the opening scenes, the American predilection to refer to the dark side of the moon as ‘disfigured’ may have as much to do with the fact that the craters which mark its surface are all named after great Russian artists and scientists.
Poignant, funny, endlessly inventive on a technical level, The Far Side of the Moon is an affecting study of human emotions grounded in a world filled with frustrated aspiration.
The transitions between character drama and documentary exposition are not obtrusive, especially notable given that ‘naturalism’ is a relative term in the theatrical space created by Lepage and his team of collaborators in the Ex Machina company.

Kubrick was first approached when Nixon was warned the technology to film the Apollo 11 moon-walk was not totally reliable and footage of this remarkable event might not be available to the public.
Kubrick was left as the only living witness to the faking of the footage and he became a virtual recluse, the loan of the NASA camera the only clue to their past close relationship.
Amongst those now prepared to speak about these events and who contribute to DARK SIDE OF THE MOON are former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former Chief of Staff Alexander Haig, presidential adviser to Nixon - Lawrence Eagleburger and Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld.

 Moon
The moon’s center of mass is about 6000 feet closer to the Earth than its geometric center which should cause wobbling.
However, the moon’s bulge is on the far side of the moon, where many strange structures have been spotted.  Someone or something" had to put the moon in orbit with its precise altitude, course, and speed.
How do we explain the "coincidence" that the moon is the right diameter and the right distance to completely cover the sun during an eclipse?  There is no astronomical reason why the moon and the sun should fit so well unless of course it was placed in its position according to plan.

Fearing that no live pictures could be transmitted from the first moon landing, President Nixon enlisted the creative efforts of Kubrick, whose 2001: a Space Odyssey (1968) had provided much inspiration, to ensure promotional opportunities wouldn't be missed.
A subtle blend of facts, fiction and hypothesis around the first landing on the moon, Dark Side Of The Moon illustrates how the truth can be twisted by the manipulation of images.
Dark Side Of The Moon is written and directed by William Karel and co-produced by Point du Jour Production and ARTE France.

 Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of The Moon DVD review
Giving a truly unbiased review of Pink Floyd’s classic album Dark Side of the Moon at this point in history is nearly impossible.
The Classic Album Series is a series of documentaries on DVD that delves deep into the details of records that we’ve all probably owned at one time or another.
With some behind-the-scene footage of the recording sessions, live concert footage of “Set the Controls…” and “The Travel Section,” the animated concert clock footage of “Time,” early rehearsals and insight from the band members and recording crew themselves, this is a documentary of a truly special and legendary time in rock history.

There are demo/rehearsal performances along with live offerings, all of which dissect Dark Side of the Moon and give those of us who know every second of this album more than enough information about the creative process behind it.
Extra materials include full performances of the musical snippets presented, interviews not included in the documentary (including a discussion of producer Chris Thomas's role in the creation of Dark Side of the Moon), and further discussion of the artistic touches of the album.
This documentary adds so much to the enjoyment of Dark Side of the Moon that I suspect the other DVDs in the series are safe recommendations.
