Starwreck the movie

[tom182]

saw a report about this on the More4 News (Channel4) last night, made by complete amateurs/students, most successful Finnish Movie to date (not sure how great a claim to fame that is )
Anyways might have been posted already

I watched it a couple months ago -- Star Wreck used to be all claymation as I recall, this is their first live-action. It's pretty damn good for amateurs -- the sound & voice acting really is the most lacking part, but it's subtitled so I just watched it on mute.

And what is wrong with finnish language may I ask? Taitaa olla vielä ehtaa Tampereen murretta, jos en ihan väärin muista... And what comes to the "claymation?" thing, nope all the Star Wrecks are live action pieces...

i'm alway cringing with laughter...
friend of mine is going to a concert of them soon


they also make a good contest: without knowing the currently played song, try to guess whats the original version

ps: dont play them at work - your laughter will be too loud

hey, i thought they would be quite famous by now - especially in finland?

first time i heard them was about 3 or 4 years ago when they got played at a radio show

btw: i heard that humppa basicly is a kind of finnish folk music (i guess what they are doing is a bit above "traditional" folk)
seems it makes that they come from a punk background
