I just mean, she didn’t talk about the film she was promoting. I don’t really call that promotion. She “promoted” Airplane II, Wallace and Gromit, Apollo 13 and The Right Stuff (despite the latter not really about a trip to the moon), Melies A Trip to the Moon, and finally, Baron Munchausen, which, as a film about a trip to the moon, is no less factual than Fly Me to the Moon is. There were no questions about her movie.
True enough–all she did was to read the questions.
(But I think that’s the way it always goes when celebrities do a category-worth of questions on Jeopardy!–they don’t offer any other remarks. They just read the questions. The host (Trebek back in the day or Jennings now) will say something about the project the celeb is there to promote.)
Also, wouldn’t it be kind of weird for her to ask a trivia question about a movie that — had it come out, at that point?
Not really, It could be about the actors, or their roles, or the real people under a different name, or conspiracy theories, or the number of the launch pad.
Though I was happy to see Wallace and Gromit!.
Do you understand that is not Reincarnation?
Frankly, I think just an okay song. Nothing particularly wrong with it; it just doesn’t grab me like Violets For Your Furs.
But it doesn’t bother me.
Are you kidding!
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
And let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
What scientific hogwash! The moon is no where near the stars, Jupiter or Mars.
And I’ll tell you what it’s like. It’s cold as hell. And either methane and ammonia, or no air at all.
Totally offensive to any scientific mind.
And at the next break after Scarlett Johansson read her clues was a commercial for her movie. I wondered how they convinced her to do the show, but that answered my question.
If he can walk on water, I’m pretty sure he can hold it.
‘What are the stars?’ said O’Brien indifferently. ‘They are bits of fire a few kilometres away. We could reach them if we wanted to. Or we could blot them out. The earth is the centre of the universe. The sun and the stars go round it.’
They’re fireflies. Fireflies that got stuck up on that big bluish-black thing.
In my experience most of them aren’t. Some say that Apollo XI just orbited the earth until it was time to come back. Deniers claim that the Van Allen belt is the reason going to the moon is impossible. Telling them that the course used to leave earth was designed to avoid the worst part of the belt does no good.
BTW, there is new flat earth news. A rich guy has set up what he calls “The Final Experiment” where he pays for a flerfer and a sane person to go to Antarctica to record that the sun does not go down for a full day around the winter solstice (summer in Antarctica) which is impossible for any flat earth model. Stay tuned. The flat earthers who have not been invited or refuse to go are pooping their pants.
A lot of them do it because of religious fundamentalism, but lots of them have monetized it, with plenty of idiots watching their channels. Prove them wrong, their gravy train goes away.
