Secrets Of The Shining

Was Kubrick's confession that he directed Apollo 11 moon landing fakery hidden inside an adaptation of Stephen King's novel?

This is a great read, very plausible, and if it's not true it's still inventive and interesting. After all, Stanley Kubrick went on to direct Eyes Wide Shut which could have been called A Day in the Life of the Illuminati, and for that he was probably murdered for being too dangerous of a loose cannon.

Exterior pictures of the Overlook Hotel were really Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood in Oregon, one place I never got around to visiting while I was there.
I'm going to have to watch this one again to see if I can spot all the symbolism tucked into it. Comprehensive trivia page at IMDB.
