Moonfall Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Moonfall!
Subscribe to the NEW CHANNEL for more Pitch Meetings: / @pitchmeetings
With movies like Independence Day, Godzilla, 2012 and more under his belt, Roland Emmerich has solidified himself as the king of blowing up the Earth on film. His latest movie takes the over-the-topness to a whole new level with Moonfall, the movie where the moon falls.
Moonfall definitely raises a few questions. Like why is there so much IBS talk? Why doesn’t anyone seem overly panicked about the massive disasters happening right in frontg of them? Why did they immediately send away all the space experts before exploring their options. Did they helicopter fly INTO that wave? NASA gave up on saving the planet because of budgets? How fast does that Lexus sport mode go?!
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Moonfall! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Things I """""LOVE"""" about movies involving space in a modern day setting, a list: 1) NASA is obviously totally part of the military and always involves the military all the time 2) nobody knows how orbital mechanics work and THAT'S OKAY. 3) the most valuable person for your space mission will ALWAYS be the guy with the least amount of time clocked in actual space. Oh and retired, he's gotta be retired. Y'know, at the end of the day, space missions and unclogging a kitchen sink are basically the same thing. 4) whenever people think conventional nukes represent any amount of a fraction of a fraction of significant force compared to the vast scale and power of enormous celestial objects...they're TOTALLY right! 5) We must ALWAYS use a space shuttle for our mission, I don't fucking care that they've been decommissioned for over a decade and were both incredibly inefficient and way way more expensive than modern rockets, and I ESPECIALLY don't care that all the shuttle parts have already been turned into the SLS, fuck it, we're choosing the motherfucking space shuttle, you shut your fucking mouth about it

[@z-beeblebrox]

Oh yeah and my bonus favorite: unhinged conspiracy guy who's right actually. How can you not love the endearing personality of a paranoid asshole whose beliefs and motives stem entirely from unfalsiable, unscientific, wild speculations that were clearly developed around a personal agenda, but none of that matters because it turns out he's right accidentally! That means, by default, he's right on purpose too! So all his ideas are A-OKAY! He gets a ride on the redemption arc for free!

And IRL launches get scrubbed and delayed all the time for leaky valves and whatever little problems might be present. SLS has been building for a decade and is now rolling in and out of the VAB for ever so small check ups. But, yeah, lets take a Space Shuttle (which even in its best days was a ticking time bomb) out of a museum, slap a tank and boosters on it that some guy probably had lying around in his back yard, and just launch it. What could go wrong. Every piece in a museum is 100% functional.

[@Facade953]

I can't beleive somebody actually got paid for this!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@That80sGuy1972]

Most people don't understand what "professional" means. It means you are paid to do it, that makes it your profession. So, even if that screenwriter ONLY wrote this, and got paid to write it, he's a "professional screenwriter". Decades ago, an associate of mine paid me to accompany him because I was a far better fighter than him and anyone else he knew and I had the time. So, I can put on my resume my time as a professional: security guard, bodyguard, safety specialist, security specialist, security consultant, personal trainer, etc. I've also done these jobs via on-the-job training and did them competently so I was also a professional: cook, plumber, electrician, carpenter, roofer, tile/rug installer, painter, sider, home improvement specialist, cobbler (that's a shoe person), mason, mechanic, draper, gunsmith, locksmith, security specialist, computer scientist, machinist, forklift operator, welder, troubleshooter (former burglary skills applied via my shady days), forensic lab technician, accountant, bookie (don't ask), courier, colorist, efficiency expert, bricklayer (related to the mason one), baker, short-order chef/fry cook (related to cook), butcher, dishwasher, manager, tailor, jeweler, paperboy, legal aid, legal advisor, researcher (a wide variety of those), political scientist, recruiter, etc. My list isn't impressive. I'm old. Also, when people justify what they do as their profession... it doesn't carry the weight it used to. Professionals used to be the standard of who is an expert. Most who professionally did their thing were experts and they could boast about it. That hasn't been the case in over a generation now save for mere bragging rights. Think about everything you were ever paid to do and did it competently enough to be paid to do it, get paid at least once. Literally everything and anything you were paid to do... even once... and that makes you a professional practitioner of that activity. If you start writing those down, you will see you are a "professional" (insert paid job here) for many things. If your list is short, you are probably young and-or had a very stable life... no shame in that. I'm actually envious of you if you are either, especially if both... but I digress. I did do the f^ck-you a few times by boasting that I was a professional in some things to deflate people arguing against me more than a few times, I admit. I'm not proud of that but when I played that card it was to deflate someone stupid/ignorant enough to find that to be a valid point. The only trolls to rail against that were people who generally sat at home watching things and believed that to be a form of life experience. Believe it or not, those trolls are a growing per-capita number of people who are being seen as people actually experiencing life. Think about that for a bit and then be terrified of the future.

Watched the movie last night and it was completely bonkers, so insane I couldn't help but love it. And yeah, I also said "Wait, she told everyone to go home, not even spending 5 minutes to try and figure out any kind of solution?" Then she gets new data like 10 minutes later, which presents the solution, and then it's "Oops, everyone went home"?

[@harrytabb328]

Well, actually, that makes sense. Think of the atmosphere as an ocean. The moon pulls it up and away from the earth as it passes by, just like it does with ocean tides, and then the air falls back down once the moon is no longer pulling it upward.

[@silentlamb21]

@@harrytabb328 it still doesn't make sense because the gravity of the moon doesn't increase because it edges closer. also, to actually have the effect described in the movie, the moons gravity would have to be bigger or at least up to par with earths gravity.
