Sparks fly in all directions as marketing maven Kelly Jones, brought in to fix NASA's public image, wreaks havoc on Apollo 11 launch director Cole Davis' already difficult task of putting a man on the moon. When the White House deems the mission too important to fail, Jones is directed to stage a fake moon landing as backup, and the countdown truly begins.

What if I told you......that the whole "moon landing" thing was fake and filmed in a Hollywood studio, just like everything else they supposedly have done in space since then--up to and including the latest scam "Artemis II."
That's apparently a sequel to Artemis I, the name of the spaceship in that "Fly Me To The Moon" movie released a couple years ago, which was about a fake trip to the moon. (Look that up if unfamiliar.)
We simply do not have the technology needed to go to the moon, even to this day. All they can do is fake it.
First we'd need some kind of electromagnetic radiation shielding to protect against the sun's steady stream of x-rays, gamma rays, etc. No, a thin plate of aluminum won't do it, and there's no room or weight budget for a couple feet of lead plates or 15+ feet of water.
Then we need some kind of miracle heat transfer/conversion tech to get rid of all the heat of the sun pounding up against the spaceship's hull. (What, you thought space was cold?) Same for the space suits.
Then we need functional space suits, not some cloth bag that would have zero mobility when inflated in the vacuum of space.
etc.
It's a fraudulent nation and everything is fake.
I tried some prompts and it kinda works OK, here are the prompts I tried: 1. A man is stuck in time loop and reliving the same day over and over, and there's a pool, and some goat (Palm Springs) - it showed up as 2nd option 2. a movie where they talk about the mission to the moon and they are working on the live streaming the landing, starring Scarlett Johansson (Fly me to the moon) - didn't find it at all 3. a movie about black slave becoming a free man and a bounty hunter (Django Unchained) - got it
I have some questions: 1. What data are you using and where are you getting them from? 2. What's the advantage to this compared to just using some chatbot? I tried gemini 2.5 pro with the same prompts as above and it got all of them the first try, so theoretically better than yours.
One thing you could add to the UI to improve it would be a link to imdb page for each movie in the results. Also, maybe you could make the example in the hero section functional - it was the first thing I looked at and tried typing my prompt in there, only to realize that's just for the looks. Hopefully this feedback helps you make it better.
> Nearly every movie released by a major studio in the past year based on an original script or a little-known book has been a box-office disappointment. Before this weekend’s flops were Warner Bros. Discovery’s “Mickey 17” and “The Alto Knights,” Paramount’s “Novocaine,” Apple’s “Fly Me to the Moon,” Amazon’s “Red One,” and the independently financed “Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1” and “Megalopolis.”
These were all bad movies (Below 7 on IMDB), including "Drop". Most had a redeeming feature though.
The problem is multiverse that's bad still does OK, "Snow White" hopefully will make a loss but it's still pulled in $181 million so far.
2024 Box Office, hard to find an independent movie too low - https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/world/2024/
"Juror #2" is probably the worst as a solid movie for the genre and probably Clint Eastwood's last. It was mistreated by Warner Bros.
