Featuring Sarah Palin as US president. Shame they couldn't get her to play herself.. she has acting talent I believe.

Just waiting for it to show up in the US.

Wait to see it, I mean-

Space Nazis! Much worse than Illinois Nazis!
Illinois Nazis can be defeated by the Blues Brothers but those Space Nazis remind me of Norma Spinrad's The Iron Dream -- ridiculously scary.
Interesting side trip. -- The idea of European authors using American settings got me to researching Spaghetti westerns and I then came across the novels of German author Karl May published from the 1880s-1910 set in the American Old West, then the series of movies based on the novels or on the characters from the novels, fictional Apache chief Winnetou and his white blood brother Old Shatterhand. Karl May films were supposedly very popular in Central Europe. The spaghetti westerns were actually the last in a long line of Eurowesterns, romanticized treatments of American West myth created by European imaginations. Which apparently color European perceptions of America.

The books are actually not that bad a read. Of course, I doubt there is much in the way of historical accuracy... but there aren't as many howlers as there were in say.. Fenimore Cooper. Still, decent reading for teens, even if it's a little black and white..A con man and Walter Mitty-like homebody who spent eight years in jail dreaming of Wild West adventures, May (the name is pronounced My) wrote dozens of tall-tale books that have sold more than 100 million copies, maybe twice that many if you count translations from the German. Kaiser Wilhelm II, like May a fantasist who loved to dress up in exotic costumes, adored May's books. So did Einstein and Albert Schweitzer, Kafka and Fritz Lang. Hitler did too.

Saw it today, on Blu-Ray disc.
No real surprises. It's a farce with a some clever jokes, many silly ones, quite unpredictable plot and silliness.
I'd have appreciated a more 'realistic' plot, as in, not taking so many liberties with political realities, but then, making up good, tight stories isn't easy.
Overall, the film is quite refreshing. Good visuals too.

If you cannot find Iron Sky Asylum films has come to the rescue with Nazis at the Center of the Earth which is not only meant to appeal to fans of Iron Sky but is also based on Wolfenstein 3D the video game. Ee-yew bull is my reaction.
Asylum are the incredibly talented folks who beat Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter to the video rental stores with their movie Abraham Lincoln v. the Zombies budgeted at $150,000.

Iron Sky has not been released (outside of Finland) on DVD yet. I have the earlier work "Star Wreck" and it's extremely funny!
I'm looking forward to Iron Sky.

woke and can't sleep so I'll rant awhile
Iron Sky at Internet Movie Database IMDb http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034314/
I am getting irritated by the references to a secret Nazi base hidden from the rest of us on the "Dark Side of the Moon".Storyline
In the last moments of World War II, a secret Nazi space program evaded destruction by fleeing to the Dark Side of the Moon. During 70 years of utter secrecy, the Nazis construct a gigantic space fortress with a massive armada of flying saucers.
Those Nazis are a lot like some of the other self-important supremacists I have encountered--"yellow dog" democ-rats and liberal academics for instance: they just don't know their astronomy from a hole in the ground, yet they are arrogant about their superiority.
The moon has a "Far Side" that stays hidden from the earth because the moon orbits the earth once every 28 earth days, same time frame as it rotates on its axis (which implies the sequels to Iron Sky will involve secret bases on the "Far Side of the Moon" by Italian Fascists and Bushido Imperialists).
BUT because the moon rotates with respect to the Sun every 28 earth days every side of the moon has sunlight for 14 earth days and is dark for 14 earth days (which implies the sequel to the vampires in Alaska movie "30 Days of Night" will be a vampires on the Moon movie: "14 Earth Days of Night").
So every side of the moon is dark and light in a ~28 day cycle. There is no Dark Side of the Moon.
Now, what has this post got to do with media, guns and civil rights? Nazis of course. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law Oh, wait a minute, this thread is about Nazis on the Moon, does Godwin even apply?)
Albert "e=mc2" Einstein immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1933 due to pressure from the Nazis under chancellor Adolf Hitler. Contemporary reports of that pressure included: "Nazis Hunt Arms in Einstein Home", N.Y. TIMES, Mar. 21, 1933, at page 10, describing the failed Gestapo hunt for a cache of weapons in Albert Einstein’s home; the hunt revealed nothing more dangerous than a bread knife. I suspect that helped lead to Einstein leaving Germany* and ultimately FDR getting a letter from Einstein and deciding to fast track development of the atomic bomb before Hitler. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninten...uences_(novel) )
Gun control proposed by U Chicago Law School Dean Norval Morris in 1970 included warrantless searches for firearms; Morris declared: there can be no right to privacy when it comes to possession of deadly weapons. The gun judges in Chicago found it easy to dismiss gun charges against non-criminal gun owners because most Chicago police searches for guns involved gross violations of the Fourth Amendment (Kates "Restricting Handguns" 1979) until judicial discretion was removed under mandatory sentencing laws. And under Lord Mayor of Gotham Michael Bloomberg's "stop and frisk" policy, NYPD do warrantless searches on over 600,000 people a year on the streets of NYC. Nazis are not on the far side of the moon. They are here, and obsessed with guns.

Having been raised in 1/6 gravity, wouldn't Moon Nazis be as weak as kittens?
Pay attention - the inmates really are running the asylum.
Not if they habitually wore weighted suits. But their reflexes/physical co-ordination would be waaaaaaaay off for the first few weeks in an Earth-normal gravitational field. That alone ought to make them pretty useless as an invasion force.
And then there's the whole problem of a circulatory system used to a 1/6th G field... Unless they spent a LOT of time in large Personnel centrifuges....
