1. Oh great, Moon Nazis.

Perhaps they will wind up in a war with the Zombie Horde.

2. I hate Moon Nazis

You see, in 1945 with the war going badly, the Nazis secretly fled to the far side of the Moon.

3. This looks intriguing, I am going to go see it in April.

The Nazi scientists did work toward space travel, so while far-fetched, this looks quite interesting.

4. Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning

A parody of Babylon 5 and Star Trek from the same filmmakers...

5. I read some of the IMDB message board for Iron Sky and Star wreck was brought up.

One poster said that they hired their friends to do the acting and made it up as they went along.

6. It's fun stuff

From the wiki:

These mistranslation puns are impossible to translate to English effectively, though the English subtitles do try to create different puns (twinkler instead of phaser, twist for warp, etc.). Likewise, "photon torpedoes" have become simply "light balls", and wormhole a "maggot hole". Emperor Pirk himself has apparently a bad understanding of various words, such as using "resorts" for "resources": the original Finnish wording uses "resorit", meaning "sleeve ends" instead of correct "resurssit".

I had never heard very much Finnish before. I find it a pretty language.

7. At Bumpershoot one year, we listened to a Finnish Folk Music band

It was all very cheery. Thank you for posting about this movie, it really does look interesting and entertaining.
