Space Nazis! We're so f&*#@%!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I'm not shy about my adoration of the Fleischer-esque SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW. It's trendy to crap on that movie now and I can see how it wouldn't work for some sensibilities, but it totally plays to me.
Much like how this short film plays to me. It has nothing to do with SKY CAPTAIN or that film's team, but it feels like a kindred spirit. It's called IRON SKY and goddamn does it look fun.
We got a heads up from Todd, who runs Twitch Film and has a regular column here spotlighting cult, indie and foreign geek flicks.
Check it out:

I think its gonna be hysterical

Those are the worst kind.

That was a decent trailer/short film thing.

and then the pigeon took a shit on the statue. Now I don't know what to think.
-
These are the same dudes that made the Star Wreck parody! Go Finland, GO!!!
-
I'll definitely go see that
-
Have to return to earth for more Power!
Nazis are long gone. The 8 remaining have to find love in Manhattan before the time vortex takes them back to the past foreeeever.... -
I'm an old Weird War Tales fan so I automatically go for that horror/sci-fi Nazi shit.
And Star Wreck was fucking hilarious, so count me in. -
Return to earth for hearing aids and Cloraseptic to undry thems throats. Now BACKA TO UN SPACE EN HYMEN!!! Shyza

was this done on an indie low budget? cause if it was it looked amazing (except maybe the bird at the end) either way, how can this talkback already have haters? i mean the movie might suck, but this isnt star wars, or batman, or some other movie its okay to bitch about before its out. this is some under the radar, fun looking movie that we should all hope kicks ass.
-
Nice trailer. This I would pay for.
-
Could be a bit of a humour/seriousness mismatch.
-
I'm with you Quint. I loved Sky captain on many levels. mainly it was awesome seeing the 30s style in such a way :)
-
But for the love of god, somebody needs to go ahead and make a live action, depression era, Max Fleischer Superman movie. Geepers.
-
don't compare anything to sky captain. Nothing deserves such an insult.
-
Damn you, Moon!
-
As far as I'm concerned, there are no better villains than Nazis, and it is the only contribution the bastards ever made to humanity. The uber-villain, preferably wearing a monocle.
And sky captain was visually stunning. -
The Star Wreck film is legally free for download from www.starwreck.com and it's an amazing piece of work, especially considering what few resources they had to work with compared to a movie studio.
-
second belting bit of cheese in 2 days. It is almost like we're stepping back to the 80's
-
I loved Sky Captain to death, but these are pretty different. I was getting kind of a pulpy sci fi vibe from the flying saucers though. Still, is this going to be a or something? that bird shit on that statue. The song sounded like a James Bond song. cool, cool news.
-
I was very impressed until the poop joke at the end. That kind of killed something that otherwise seemed very badass.
-
Why would anyone crap on that movie?? I love that film.
-
And come on--Jolie alone was wicked-fuckin-awesome.
People who crap on movies built of pure joy like Sky Captain should be forced to spend eternity in a closet with Tarantino while he cracks snarky-ass, self-referentially smug jokes with an air winking condescension. -
I should have slipped the ol' plastic bib on before I watched that teaser. That looked like it could ROCK. The subject matter is just plain fun, and the style had me thinking about a squinting dripping summer day, and how it feels to step into the chilled darkness of a movie theater, the floor wax and the popcorn and the weave of the cloth seat against your leg where your shorts end, and wait to be carried into a brand new universe.

That was utterly brilliant

This proves that being skilled at SFX does not make you a good f
by kirbymanly
It's somewhat cool looking but that trailer is boring as hell. It looks like an FX reel more than a film. And...yes, Sky Captain was great. The FX was secondary to the story...which is rare these days. I loved it in the theater and I love it now.
-
damn subject line!
-
Just MHO of course, but I think that the idea that FX ability does nothing to make one a good (or even solid) filmmaker was pretty much accepted as a fundamental truth of the universe about 1.3 milliseconds after The Phantom Menace opened in theaters.
-
that the filmmakers are on "our" side... completely spoils the tone of the teaser, but you always gotta let people know where you stand as far as the Nazis are concerned! Oh and Sky Captain was rubbish, it looked gorgeous, but it was rubbish; funky-looking visuals that throwback to posters of films like "Metropolis" do not a good film make - story is what matters, and at that Sky Captain failed... Hard.
-
that Sky Captain was "crap" or "shite". As long as it's just "rubbish", I only have to be careful to avoid expressing fondness for it when I'm in the company of those rabid Masterpiece Theatre fanboys.
;-) -
Shitty music but a great look. Colour me interested!

Boromir, unlike some I still consider "hate" a strong word...
by the grug
Especially when it comes to talking about things as inconsequential as movies (and they are if you think about it) on an internet forum - but then this is "Talkback" and moderation's really not standard practice around here :) so feel free to love Sky Captain as much as you want, this is the internets after all - where you're free to hold any opinion you want!
-
May 07, 2008 4:59:57 AM CDT
...and that's something not even space Nazis can take from us!

Keep the love for SKY CAPTAIN alive!! Any film that has a direct quote from the Welles broadcast of WAR OF THE WORLDS is aces in my book.
-
But that's just me.
-
...a Nazi space laser to roast that pigeon as the saucers descend upon the Earth.
Oh, and just to piss people off: if you hate Mars Attacks, you are a bad, bad person. -
It's a pseudo trailer for a non existent MMORPG. These 2 groups should get together.
http://tinyurl.com/3lslbs -
There was a ninja Nazi in Hellboy. And he was made of sand. How cool is that?
-
And count me in the group who really enjoyed Sky Captain for its style, daft story and suspect acting from Gwyneth Paltrow aside.
-
watch Hellboy. :^)

Best geek orgasm since steam powered robots of the late 19th century was proposed... Trailer's music a bit too contemporary tho.

No mention of that in the story???
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning (2005)

Wow, that looks goddamn great. And is that not the best tagline in a while? A shame about the music, though.

First, holy crap, our film is on AICN. I've been a lurker here for a decade and wouldn't have tought to see this day.
And then, the dirt on Iron Sky.
The film is currently in pre-production, this teaser was originally made to be a demo to show for potential collaborators and financers.
What we've got a really good script (self-promotion is hard for us Finns, but we really love it) and we hope to start shooting the film next year.
But, the dirt is that we're not your average production company. We did Star Wreck for peanuts and had a great online community. With Iron Sky we want to do even better with the community aspect.
We've got the project set up on wreckamovie.com that's our communal filmmaking site. Anyone can register and join the production. And I'd like to point out that it's free, unlike some online film projects.
Those who've joined it can give their shots on task given by us filmmakers. But the point is that we're not pretending that to be a democracy or that the community writes the movie or crap like that. Sorry, that's for other productions. We have a story we love, a script we love and we know what we want to do. But there is a huge amount of ideas and wisdom in the community, not to talk about huge amount of resources. We want to hear your opinions and ideas, because if they are good then we use it.
Another thing is the resources. The budget is some 4-5 million dollars, but we want to film look 10 times more expensive. Compare that to Star Wreck that cost some $17,000. That's why we will be asking people to take part in the production, to do stuff like creating future brands, advertisements, danger signs, etc. All the small stuff that makes the world alive. As well as asking for ideas and opinions on the bigger stuff. If you've got $300 million that' something you pay some bored advertising company employees to do for $200 an hour. We won't afford that and don't want to. Why the hell would we want to outsource interesting stuff like that for somebody who does it to buy a new BMW. It'll be much more fun to do it online with people who think the idea is cool and want to give a bit of their free time and see their work on screen.
We don't know yet if we can put Iron Sky free on the internet, it's obious that when it's finished somebody will do that and we'd very much prefer to do it ourselves. The main point though is money, not our money, but the people who will finance the film. As well as many other things out of our control.
But right now we just worry with making a really good film. If you want to see it made you can help us at wreckamovie.com.
If you have any questions I'm happy to answer them. -
Not in spirit, but it shows that the internet is a way of distributing and building independent entertainment. Throw in some Red Vs. Blue and there is a whole new industry.I'm sure I'm making no sense as my morning upper cocktail hasn't kicked in, but I am excited for what this film company is doing and will support them.
-
not that it matters.And I love Mars Attacks and anyone that can't see the humour in it can, quite frankly, fuck off.
-
You know you want to see that.
-
Nazis are NOT entertaining! What's next? Movies with burning skyscrapers, probably even in New York?
Oh, wait a moment... -
Now you have your theme for "Quantum of Solace"! ;)
-
I like what if stuff. I would see this in the theaters. Something like this should not be too hard to pitch to a major studio.
-
DerLanghaarige, you must not watch many movies because the subject matter in many movies deal with unsavory characters/events, etc....Blood Diamond, The Last King of Scotland, The Black Book. This is a "what if" scenario like Dazzler said.
-
...for stating my sentiments in terms I was a bit too bashful to do at this stage, but yes, fuck 'em.
-
What, William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy don't count?
-
Really.
-
Film may turn out to be horse shit but still a way cool trailer that does its job well, ie to pique my interest enough to check this movie out.
-
This looks interesting. However, just like the Knights Templar v. Vampires news of the other day, I also wrote a story in middle school involving Nazis in space. I'm not making this shit up. They were Nazis in space. Who's been going through my old school folders.
-
you can never have too many exploding nazi zeppelins.
-
Hopefully this thing doesn't go the way of Uwe Boll.
-
Is an incredible piece of work, very very funny, effects are awesome - I even bought the 2 disc special edition with even better CGI. Been tracking Iron Sky for almost a year now and I'm glad to see the teaser get some love on this site. Why don't all you haters get on the case and contribute something to this movie rather than sit there and bitch and moan and lambast a movie that you know nothing about?
-
I've got a horrible admin meeting this afternoon so I'm a bit short of temper today. But other than that, no problem.
-
Straight from Antarctica, Nazi UFOS
-
Did we ignore the reviews and the opinions at the time? :)
-
You're right. I guess Hellboy counts, but that dude didn't throw any swastika ninja stars. You have to watch Sin City to see that kinda action.
-
Because art direction and design do not make a good movie...how the fuck you make a film with that style and subject painfully boring is the only thing amazing about that turd.
-
I liked it better when it was called "Tyler Perry's Transformers". Also, entirely derivative of "Alien vs. Patch Adams".
-
Star Wreck was outstanding. I've told a lot of people about it and tried to spread the word as much as possible.
Also, I worked in a Canberra (Australia) emergency department; there was a strange period where over the month about half a dozen Finns were brought in with injuries and I told a lot of them about your film and how to find it as well. -
I knew that sooner (not later) someone would come and take my words serious ;)
-
Dirty Bastard.
-
Hated that it has that tottaly out of "tone" place joke at the end. The hole teaser looked like a true sci-fi serious thing.
They can take that outrageous idea not so serious, so that it feels true. But with that peageon... It feels not.
And the hailing nazi at the begining... Isn`t he hailing with the wrong hand? -
...until it ends in a bird shit joke. I know the Nazis aren't cool, but you created something badass, built up an ominous tone...and then, with one sight gag, turned it into a lowest common denominator yuk-fest.

Let's see. They had the technology to go to the moon, but . . .
by ingeld
They couldn't build one atomic bomb to win the war? Perhaps these were the peace loving NAZIs misunderstood by their own kind--so they decided to go off on their own.
-
about 1,000 times more entertaining then Sky Captain. The reason Sky Captain was boring, Jude Law. Also if Rigi is really involved with the film, why doesn't he get ahold of Harry and Co. Because if you need people to work on your movie for free, this is probably a good site to find people with ALOT of free time.

Twiched is a bad ass site, I need to go there more often.

Well, I think that the Empire resembled those wicked little nazis.
-
Come on, a Nazi riding a WWII sidecar motorcycle on the moon??
I'm going to get stoned and have a ball with this. -
What happened to that USS guy?
-
"Read mein lips."
-
A concept that hasn't been rehashed to death. Interesting. Of course, the motorcycle on the moon isn't what makes me laugh. It's the double yellow line. Is there so much vehicular traffic on the moon that they had to keep people from passing? Oy.
-
GEDD DOO DAH MOONBASE!!! DOO EEED NEEOOWWW!!!! SHNELL!!!
-
...really any stupider than the "space cowboys" concept from that idiotic Firefly series. Yes "Browncoats", I'm talking to YOU, "gorammit"!
-
Sieg heil naawww!!!
-
...just not as much of it as on Earth. Harry, for instance, would only weigh about 50 lbs. on the moon.
-
Me and a buddy of mine were among the first to order the Star Wreck DVD from your site when it became available a few years ago. While watching it, we alternated between laughing our asses off (at the right places) and being incredibly impressed with your accomplishments. By the looks of this project, you guys are on to another winner.
Go SOUMI! -
...of this trailer. It's too much to ask...film is only human
-
Have Zod, Ursa and Non arrive on the moon and join forces with the Nazis. And make sure you credit me - no spaces in my name.
-
J/K. How's the new baby? Congrats.
-
According to talkbacker and infamous drooltard, GingerTwit, the gravity on the Moon is actually six times that of the Earth's.
In his defense, I must add that this particular proclamation is among the least retarded things he's stated in talkback. -
...you should read some of BendersShinyAss's beliefs.
-
The baby's just fine, thanks.

CHRISM - IRONIC YOU DREW A PARALLEL B/W THE EMPIRE AND THE NAZIS
by bringingsexyback
Considering Lucas drew a similar parallel b/w the Empire and your favorite current Administration.
-
Loved the look of the movie but it proved that the script does matter. What a bad film!
The look of this is interesting even though they ignore the laws of physics (there would be no dust on the moon), etc. Moon cycle. Cute.
-
I plan on having one in the next year or so, they can do Talkbacks in a few years. hehe
-
You do know that men have landed, walked, and driven on the moon....don't you?
-
Thank you to those who've suported us. Since we're employed by our own company for us a sold dvd means paying the rent, the lunch or the occasional luxury like the copy of GTA4 I just picked up... Though we do actual for-hire video production as well.
The pigeon seems to have split opinions on the interwebs. It's actually a very old thing, dating from the first teaser poster we did in 2006 - as well as the eagle statue. No matter how grandiose a statue pigeons will always use it as a toilet. That's the rule of the world. -
This one is a heartbreaker for me. The trailers looked so fucking cool and the whole concept was great, but aside from a few awesome action set pieces and great designs, it fell completely flat for me. I don't know what it is, but I start going numb after about ten minutes of watching the thing. I still like the undersea battle and the dogfight over New York, but the rest is just torpid and bland.
The absolutely worst fucking thing about that movie is Gwyneth Paltrow. My God, her performance is one of the worst I have ever seen. Some of these "dramatic" actors can't act worth shit in front of a blue screen. Pernilla August was the same way in Phantom Menace. -
I felt then same way. I really wanted that movie to rock. It evoked the same imagery as one of the classic Fleischer Superman cartoons from the 1940's, when he is fighting the giant jewelry stealing robots.
But it fell so flat, and Paltrow and Law had zero chemistry. She was so wooden - I am quite surprised that they were able to remove that oak tree from her ass in time for a decent performance in Iron Man. -
course, except for that pigeon part
-
and I really want to like Sky captain, but just can't. I think it is because I loathe Jude Law in it.
-
feels like I've seen it all before
-
She must be available after passing on Saw V.
-
He already got rid of the Commie Nazis. Getting rid of Space Nazis is the logical next step.
-
Why? By the 1940's, most of the real estate on the light side of the moon was Jewish owned.
-
I really liked skycaptin looks much better on bluray than dvd you can see the detail.
-
I agree about ditching the crapping pigeon...totally ruins the mood (unless it's intended to be a comedy).Put me squarely in the I Heart Sky Captain camp.
-
For Nazis that we all can enjoy I highly recommend that adorable Millenium group from HELLSING! They're batshit crazy and they're not ashamed of it! And if you want scary Christians it's got that as well! Sometimes I often wish we had scary Christians like the Escariots just to keep the rest of you heathens and apostates and infidels in check! We ain't nuttin to fuck wit!
-
Hopefully the script will do the same. Rigi and his team definitely have skills to spare. I'm with the good Doc regarding green screen performances. Rigi's actors will make all the difference in the world.With respect to Sky Captain, I like it for the visuals. I'll put the DVD in and have it on with the volume down while I'm doing other things.
-
It's the FAR side of the Moon. The Dark Side of the Moon was a Pink Floyd album.
On another note, this looks interesting. -
It's no secret that a major factor of those films even existing is because George and the gang just like hanging out, and seeing how doing a fourth (regardless of how good the third may have been) is pushing things a bit, Jolie should sweet talk her hubbie into sweet talking George and Soderburgh into moving the cast over to an epic as all hell Sky Cap'n spinoff that focused on her character, Frankie.
-
Most people claim it's boring, but that's more telling about the person complaining than the film itself. All that means is they need to pop a ritilin. I loved the visuals in Sky Captains, I felt the dialogue had the same flare it used to back in the forties, and the action was well done. So few movies are capable of creating an entirely new world and that's one of the great triumphs of Sky Captain. The only complaint I have, and it's the same complaint I have with every other green screen film, is that the acting was a bit off. Of course the acting was still better than the Star Wars prequels, Sin City, and 300, so by comparison it was pretty good.
-
One Sixth on the Moon. If I use my Lunar Weight, I am nothing short of Svelte!

Hope that wasn't anti-semetic sorry but Space Nazi's fuck yeah!!!!!
-
The Sky Captain Guy is going to direct John Carter of Mars on IMDB. Its probably old, but seriously, who hasn't been involved at one point or another to direct John Carter of Mars? It changes every week.
-
Has anyone else played this fantastic RPG? It had space Nazis, Indiana Jones style humor, the ability to be any kind of character you wanted, and so much more.
When I played, I had two characters, one was Raoul Duke, who had the ability to find drugs at any time, to fire the perfect shot(but not kill anyone, and could whistle for his vehicle, but could only enter the vehicle by jumping into it(called The Roy Rogers Effect). I also had a character who dressed in a yellow elephant costume, but the costume fused with the characters body, refusing the character's want to commit suicide. He also had to break out in song and dance whenever the Space Nazi's requested it, or whenever children were around.
Fantastic fucking game that all geeks would love. -
Looks like propaganda to me.
LOL !!!! -
Aren't you really saying that people who don't like that film and have the gall to say it out loud are just following the crowd and don't understand how truly great that movie is?
It's sounds that way to me. Sky Captain was in my opinion a truly beautiful shining turd of a film that very few people liked for very good reasons. I don't think you're an elitist schmuck because it "played to you". That's your call just like the majority of the movie going public felt it came up short. I know I wasn't trying to be trendy when I decided I wouldn't be seeing that film again. I just thought it came up lacking in many ways. -
I'm a little sick of them as weel though.
-
crap song.... and the trailer gives no hint that this will actually be FUN,, but the premise is really cool,.
-
I know you all said you love the script, and God knows what it is like. Here are some suggestions if you have not already considered them. 1. Explain UFO sightings since 1945 as the Nazis making covert trips back. (Perhaps to purchase sauerkraut!--just kidding). 2. Make alien abductions as part of some NAZI project to experiment on human subjects to genetically produce the perfect race--"Mengele in Space." or to maintain their own stock, etc. 3. Have the world governments aware of the NAZI presence on the moon but they have kept it secret. Have NAZI spies or sympathizers in some of these governments. Please don't have Hitler clones. Don't include aliens--make the whole thing human. Can you let us in on any of the plot details?
-
or I must be a "hater." Either way, that movie sucked.
-
not mcbain. oleg.
-
the nazis created the perfect sour kraut, but he switched sides and became MAGICPICKLE!
-
Does 1/6th gravity allow the use of 1944 motorcycles with sidecars?
-
However, this looks monumentally stupid.
-
...my earlier post, the bird crap part of the short film was NOT transporting -- at least not in a good way.
-
...I've had it with these muthafucking Nazis on this muthafucking flying saucer!"
-
_Iron Sky_ looks great, but why no love for _Moon Europa_? I first heard about it at Revoluticon in 2006; I've written AICN about it in the past but got no interest. Here are the trailers; the first two are no longer linked from the site but they're still there:
http://www.mooneuropa.com/video_I.html
http://www.mooneuropa.com/video_II.html
http://www.mooneuropa.com/video_III.html
-
Jude law and Paltrow hat a cool love hate chemistry, it wasn't firery but it was filled with witty moments. The Visuals were stunning, the action fantastic and the story as good as anything they did back in the days of Republic serials. Stuff like this is my meat and potatoes, I can never have enough, give me more Rocketeer, Sky Captain, The Shadow and Indiana Jones! :-)
-
We need more of it on the big screen.
-
Oleg? I don't get it.
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_UFOs btw wasnt the galactic empire basically space nazis?
-
I'm just sayin'
-
Gotta have powerful classical music for Nazi expansion flicks. While I liked the song, it was the kind of thing the Nazis would ban.
-
Sorry, can't spill anything more about the plot that's on our website. Let's make it clear it's a comedy, but more Dr. Strangelove than Spaceballs. The main character is a moon nazi herself. And one theme running trough the film will be conformity.
And I'm humbled for the comments of my team and actors, but I have to confess I'm not the director. I'm actually the guy who got us to make a film about space nazis. I'm very happy that Timo will be directing instead of me.
And about bluescreen films. We don't have any special love for bluescreen even though - or actually because - we have been using it extensively for ten years. It's a good tool, especially for doing things on budget, but nothing beats shooting on real sets and locations. I guess in some way we've come to effects technology backwards, it's something we've had on our disposal since the very first short films years and years ago, so for us the physical way is more interesting. -
I want to see this movie RIGHT NOW, Dammit!!!!!!!! Looks ten tons of awesome.
-
...but ending that trailer with bird shit is not good. Take our advice, both as consumers and fans of the art of film, when we say it totally demolishes the tone you've set. A number of us haver stated it. There is a good chance that we're right.
-
The best things about Sky Captain were the production extras on the DVD, the brother who did all the concept art is a fucking genius.
-
Why does this make me think of Surf Nazi's Must Die..and can we get a remake of that film someday
-
Either way it needs to go. I felt like Phil Hartman reviewing porn on Weekend Update. "Interested...interested...Very Interested...*pigeon joke*...and then I lost interest."
-
there was style, but no soul. No good story or characters to grab onto. However, this looks awesome. If this were a feature film, I would be the first in line to watch it. Is this a trailer for a short film? Looks great whatever it is.
-
Surf Nazi's Must Die is the one and only film ever made. Everything else is an illusion
-
IXNAY ON THE IGEONPAY!!!!

After 70 years of living on the moon, the Nutzies won't even be able to stand up in earth's gravity.

It was better than Transformers.
-
hehe!
-
Anything less would be a shame, given the subject matter.
-
bow to your sensei, bow to each other, FIGHT!!!
-
And it was aproprietly named. My god what a disaster. It looked like one of those fan films in the movie Trekkies. This new movie of theirs was starting to look cool until a George Lucas was pulled on us and we had a CGI bird toss a CGI poop onto the statue. Oh well. On to the next TB. A trollin' I will go a trollin' I will go, Low ho I married a ho a trollin' I will go.
-
Their web site says it's a comedy! Jenna Bush is president! You had me wanting to see it until I read this.
-
It has appeared to me in my many years of living that the way you hide your downfalls is to make fun of them. Their downfall = making a good movie = turn into comedy to say it was not to be serious to start with.
-
really make it a teaser? that's longer than some feature film trailers.
i had no problem with sky captain...thought it was fun...but that thing i just watched looked like a trailer for a ps3 game or something...i didn't even see any characters. don't stories have to have characters? -
The Nazis were VERY close to completing an Atomic bomb in 1945...Lucky for us they didn't. America did however forgive hundreds of Nazi scientists and bring them onboard to work on US weapon & aircraft advancements well into the 1960's. Them Germans is smart!
-
There is nothing about the trailer that says comedy--save the pigeon--and if your selling this as a comedy based on that poop joke then you may get eight year olds.
-
Right you are. It just seems that if they could have mastered anti-gravity and flown to the moon in '45--an atomic bomb would have been child's play.
-
Are we still doing that?
-
Wasn't there a trilogy in the cards once? I may not remember right, they said the same thing about Riddick (and after seeing the Director's Cut, I'm sorry it didn't happen). Still, for Bloodrayne to get a sequel and not Sky Captain is kind of shitty. I thought SCatWoT was a fun little video game of a movie. I liked it more than Transformers, so that's how out of touch I am.
-
"Better than Transformers" isn't asking for much. Saying you made a better movie than Transformers is like bragging about the medal you won at the Special Olympics.
-
If your first post had been "Motorcycles with sidecars on the moon?" I wouldn't have commented. Your post was "Gravity on the Moon?". Not quite the same thing.
-
do you even speak English dude? and it's spelled "pigeon"
-
in color? really? it's not like it was an homage to another generation of films or anything. maybe do some research.

You complain about Sky Captain having all style and no soul from the characters, but so far, neither does Iron Sky. I thought the characters in Sky Cap were pretty cool. I actually liked both Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, both of which I can;t usually stand in a movie. Still, I am extremely excited for Iron Sky, and I wouldn't really compare this to Sky Captain. They look completely different and the atmosphere in that teaser was nowhere even close to that of Sky cap.

has been done before, and for 2 whole hours. They called it Little Miss Sunshine.

dont like them

I personally hope the Nazis brought women to the moon otherwise all those original astronauts are going to be mighty lonely. Or perhaps in 2018 they were into cloning blond hair blue eyed men for their armies? It remains to be seen
-
With the Nazis digging into the moon to make their sub-moon-terranean bases, wouldn't that affect the tides on Earth? Will they come back and find Earth a giant pond with no one worth conquering? And where's the gravity on 2018 moon?

Don't be slagging off Surf Nazi's must die. Fuckers.

will anyone ever get the balls to adapt the dick novel? but this looks fucking cool

It certainly seems that the pigeon divides opinion. We still love our little birdie. But honestly, we've never really even thought of it as a "poop joke".
In the end, the poop itself is irrelevant, I laugh at the point where the pigeon realizes this thing isn't anything it can eat and looks rather disappointed.
But, people see things differently and that's a good thing. -
We got couple of people in the company who absolutely love Philip K. Dick. Man in the High Castle is much liked as well.
It's a small wonder how good movie Dick adaptations have produced though, even if the books seem unfilmable and the movies differ a lot they often end up being very good. -
Because the only thing cooler than a space nazi is a zombie space Nazi who is also a ninja.

I'll see this movie. Good subject matter, and it isn't a sequel or a remake.
-
I hear that after the ending credits, Winston Churchill IV walks into a bar and sees Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury and they talk about their "red skull" problem.
-
Lucas did not draw a parallel between the Empire and the Bush administration. He has denied it several times, but some people insist on putting their spin on things.

I enjoyed SCAWOT and will enjoy this one as well. Can't wait for it to come out. That's it.

Hey, whoever said they were gonna get good'n stoned and have a ball with it...I'm down w'dat. And the comment saying that after 70 yrs on the Moon they wouldn't be able to stand in Earth's gravity was a good point.I did love the general look of things...the saucers, the motorcycle w/ sidecar, the moon itself. But it looked as if the driver didn't have on a pressure suit...just a leather jacket. Not sure about that.oh...and I had no probs with Sky Captain....

So naturally, Hollywood's little suckups are going to savage it.
Especially since they're content with the formulaic crap they're getting.
