Remember our competition to write a limerick and win double passes to see Iron Sky? We’ve picked the winners, and they’re a tribute to the resilience of the limerick as a relevant poetical form. Or just a lot of jokes about space Nazis. Check them out below.
Nazis on the moon are invading, and we know when it’s going to happen. Specifically, it’ll happen next Thursday when Iron Sky goes into general release in Australia. Thanks to Hoyts Distribution, we’ve got ten double passes to give away so you can see this satirical sci-fi flick. NOTE: This competition is now closed. You can marvel at the winning limericks here.
If you haven’t watched the Iron Sky trailer yet, you need to so after the jump. It’s OK, I’ll wait. The new flick sees Nazis attack Earth with a space fleet built on the moon after WWII. It’s a deliciously tacky concept brought to life by online crowd-sourced funding and co-producers from Australia, Finland and Germany. And after positive response at the Berlin Film Festival this month, it may just get an Aussie theatrical release.
The Nazi UFOs are landing first in Berlin on February 11, 2012. That is Iron Sky’s premiere date at the Berlinale international film festival, the movie that is going to rock or suck. Watch the trailer (special effects look half-decent):
