Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help!

[edit] Tricks section

The stuff about Christine being tricked seems a bit unlikely. Googling her quote didn't get any hits apart from wikipedia. Any thoughts? Andjam 22:35, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree, I removed the section as we have no reference. --Gosub 15:23, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Section in question:

Christiane Kubrick said in a 2005 interview in Australia, when asked about how "Dark Side of The Moon" came about: "We were tricked. Pure and simple. We should have been more alert, but at the time... you don't think of these sort of things." She seemed to regret having any involvement in the film mainly because what she said was edited and used out of context. The idea of suing the film makers came up but was quickly extinguished. "That's what they would want," she said.

Hi, it was myself who added that section and the quote itself. The interview was held at the ACMI (Australian Center of the Moving Image) in Melbourne, Australia as part of their Kubrick retrospective. I was in the audience for that interview and can swear on a stack of Bibles that the information posted was accurate. However, I do not know if the interview was recorded in any fashion by the Center, so I'm not sure if it can be backed up, but there was a number of people there who heard her say this.

Having viewed this film many times (6?) I did not clearly gleen any direct quotes from the credits at the end of the film that gave it away as a ruse but instead gave me the impression that the drunken sots were too chummy with the camera people. Quotes of the exact phrases that give the "mocumentary" away are in order. This whole film reeks of damage control as video of the press conference where Armstrong seems puzzeled to be asked about seeing stars and then appears to say he "didn't remember seeing stars" and looks at his colleges for confermantion. If you have studied the topic you have seen the clip. The film does serve, deliberatly or not to deligitimise the valid questions about everything from operation paper clip to the current "office of strategic influence" those relivant sentiments are not scratched at all.user
