Star Wreck Trailer

ultramarweeni writes "'Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning', a very fascinating feature-length Finnish Star Trek satire is now nearing its completion. Today, December 13th, the trailer was published at 0:00 GMT after 14 hours of technical problems. Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning tells the story of the crew of P-Fleet starship C.P.P. Kickstart, which was stranded on Earth after an accident after a battle against the Korg. With the help of the technology to come, their leader, Captain Pirk claims himself as the emperor of the Earth. He conquers the world and rebuilds the P-Fleet. Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning has been in the making since 1999 and will probably be completed in spring 2004. Or maybe not. Time will tell."

  1. About the whole George Bush thing... by AtariDatacenter · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    About that George Bush and "throughout history have great men sought world domination" thing. It may play well in Finland and other former communist countries, but here in the United States, we don't find it too funny. Not because it isn't true, mind you, but probably more because it is a mindless slam. Only do our angry liberals really enjoy that kind of thing.

  2. 25meg download for eurotrash propaganda? by pcx · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I swear the next time another stupid euroweenie put President Bush in the same context as Hitler we should nuke the whole friggen continent to remind them exactly what it is they're comparing to.

    A 25meg download wasted because in the first 10secs the eurowusses have to get their bash US hate propaganda in.

    What a damp towel.

    Fortunately, I think it's fair to say that you're the kind of guy who'll never run into this problem. Unfortunately, you'll keep posting ridiculous "solutions" like this as a result.

  4. Satire? by davew2040 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    'Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning', a very fascinating feature-length Finnish Star Trek satire is now nearing its completion.

    He used the word "satire" here, but I think that was not the word he waslooking for. I can't exactly place it myself. The word he should use needs to convey "humorless pile", "miserable failure", "gargantuan waste of funding", things like that. Any suggestions?
