Stanley Kubrick most certainly did not assist the government in purportedly staging the 1969 moon landing — at least, according to his daughter.
Vivian Kubrick denounced conspiracy theorists in a passionate Tuesday Twitter post.
She begins: “Surely (!?) an artist, such as my father, whose profound degree of artistic integrity is self-evident, whose political/social consciousness is manifestly present in nearly every film he made. Whose highly controversial subject matter literally put his life at risk, and yet he continued to make the films he made … don’t you think he’d be the very last person EVER to assist the US Government in such a terrible betrayal of its people?!?”
Vivian continued, acknowledging the existence of other “very real” conspiracies. She also spoke of her professional relationship with dad — Vivian Kubrick wrote the film score for “Full Metal Jacket” and made “The Making of the Shining” documentary — concluding that his alleged participation in such a thing could be nothing other than “A GROTESQUE LIE.”

Re: Faked Moon Landings Many people have asked me about this. And this feels like the right time to respond … pic.twitter.com/UVlNFofFW8
Why it's her: Michonne and Rick began a romantic relationship this season, and what better way to crush fans' hearts than to make him watch her get beaten to death?
Why it's him: Reedus has a new AMC travel show and may want to free up his calendar. He was also on "Talking Dead," an honor usually reserved for people whose characters died.
Why it's her: She would make sense as a substitute for Glenn.
Why it's not her: Would the show really kill a sick pregnant woman who everybody loves?
AARON (ROSS MARQUAND)
Why it's him: He's had so little screen time, he's disposable.
Why it's not him: He's had so little screen time, his death would have no weight. We only have this one picture of the poor guy. If the show wants to kill him, it should give him more lines first.
EUGENE (JOSH MCDERMITT)
Why it's him: He's made a point of stepping up to prove himself a survivor, and, well irony.
Why it's not him: He still has room to grow. And so does his mullet.
Why it's him: Abraham died in the comics in the manner that ultimately led to Denise's death on the TV show a few weeks ago. With his arc complete in the comics, it would make sense to kill him off now.
Why it's not him: His refusal to cower seems to have maybe won him Negan's respect.
Why it's not her: Sasha turned her hopelessness around last season, and it would be too depressing for her to die now.
Why it's her: She's in the sweet spot for "Walking Dead" deaths: popular and long-running, but not so popular and long-running that the show can't go on without her.
Why it's not her: Because it would feel like the show once again built up a character just to kill her off when it was dramatically convenient.
CARL (CHANDLER RIGGS)
Why it's him: Some fans don't like him lately, and they didn't even soften when he lost his eye.
Why it's not him: Hasn't he been through enough? Also, Negan charmingly commands, "If anybody says anything, cut the boy's other eye out and feed it to his father," right before he bludgeons his victim to death. Chances are he wouldn't say that if he was about to kill Carl.
