To have such a strong, undiffused, and distant light that it could realistically mimic the shadows on the moon, you would need very modern CGI to replace the shadows of every actor on every frame.

Is aussie style sushi not still considered Japanese food? Like, we have california rolls, but no one says they’re eating Californian food while eating sushi.
Once they come for the birth control there’ll be plenty of forced births, no worries
