OT: Star Wreck

[Karibu]

For starters, you can download the old ones from here. Bewarned, the first ones are pure amateur job, but it gets better the more you watch.

[Zaamon]

I suggest that you watch that trailer dogscoff.

Perhana. Jo kolmas suomalainen mit� l�yd�n n�ilt� foorumeilta.

[Ruatha]

Ohh, this is great!
The battles where very nice, and to think the studio is one of the crews living room!

[AgentZero]

Heh, absolutely mad stuff. But as Emperor's Child said, the low-budget sets detract from the loveliness of the space scenes. Although, aside from having Paramount breathing down their necks about copyright infringement, I think they might encounter a bit of difficulty with the Star Wreck name as well, seeing as it's already taken by a series of Star Trek spoof novels.
Not that that sort of thing's ever stopped them crazy Finnish before.

[Atrocities]

Speaking of spoofs, does any recall the web site for those new TOS Episodes? You know the ones that those guys are making here in the States? Forget the name of the web site, Production value was good, acting was very very bad.

[Zaamon]

AgentZero. I think you mean Star Wrek. It isn�t same than Star Wreck. You see that c. I think they have asked something from Paramount.

[Karibu]

I believe that Paramount is not going to push any case for copyraghts (or any other series which are imitated in the movie) because this is not a threat to them. Just a hobby by bunch of people who will get few thousand bucks for 10 years worth of work. Furthermore, should they push the case, they would face unimaginable campaign on the internet (among many scifi & computer communities) that any result of such act would only make them to look like a greedy, fat company who wants to kill any moviehobby or creativity for sake of "copyrights". The case would be different if for example MGM would lauch a series of such parody movies and distribute them in every theatre over the world.

"It's time to warm up the Twinkler Banks" ???

Did that lose something in the translation or is that part of the joke?

[Zaamon]

That is part of the joke. There is one translation that I think is wrong. Have some light balls. It should be Eat light balls. But I think that is same.
