Star Wreck Creators Announce Iron Sky
An anonymous reader writes "The makers of the Star Trek and Babylon 5 cross-over spoof Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning have announced their upcoming movie Iron Sky. It's apparently another sci-fi comedy with its own universe. Says Director Timo Vuorensola: 'It is still an open question whether it will be distributed also for free. We would very much like it, but it will depend a lot on the financiers.'"
Please someone tell me I did not just see a diss against Spaceballs on Slashdot. What's next, people ranting about how the killer rabbit scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail was corny? Writing off Douglas Adams as a hopeless Steve Jobs fanboy just because Marvin happened to look a little bit like a Macintosh in the movie? Or maybe even a relativistic analysis of Star Wars based on camera angles proving once and for all that Han and Greedo shot at the same time but Han's blast arrived sooner from the viewer's point of view and later from Greedo's?
You guys need to grow up and face the facts:
1.) The killer rabbit had audiences around the world gripping their seats in shock, weeping bitterly as Arthur's men were slaughtered, then cheering ecstatically as the Holy Hand Grenage of Antioch brought its blessing down upon those brave men.
2.) Marvin had a brain that was practically the size of a planet and he was gloomy. Obviously he was not a Macintosh because Macs are little and happy (eep!)
3.) Han shot first. Actually rumor is this was Harrison Ford misreading a cue and George Lucas didn't notice it until editing after filming was done. It kept him up at nights until the miracle of digital enhancement allowed him to ruin ^H^H^H^H fix the movie.
4.) Spaceballs is hilarious. It's a fact of nature like F=ma and slashdotter's always being the first one out in dodgeball. Come on people! Pizza-the-Hut! You just don't get stuff like that from unfunny movies.
I've wasted enough of my time here. There's some people over on Digg who need to have the differences between the MCP from Tron and that Colonel Sanders looking guy from the Matrix explained to them, again!
