What is that video with the nazis on the moon?
This is the video you're probably thinking of: From the Nazi-ass kicking country of Finland comes the Alternate History, SciFi comedy, IRON SKY.
In 1945, upon the destruction of Germany's grip on Europe, the Nazi science heirarchy left their secret Antarctic base. Where did they go? They fled to the far side of the moon ("The Dark Side of the Moon!"). There they perfected their weapons technology for their long anticipated (for them) triumphant return to earth: To establish the Fourth Reich!
IRON SKY began production at least as far back as 2006. That's when I became their MySpace friend. So yeah, I've been waiting for quite some time! Since 2006, another retro SciFi comedy that I first friended on MySpace is now complete and making the Film Festival circuit: THE GHASTLY LOVE OF JOHNNY X.
Unlike that movie, however, IRON SKY comes loaded with expensive computer animation.

Nazis in space pack in the crowds at Berlin film fest
A sci-fi black comedy about Nazis from the moon invading Planet Earth is one of the hottest tickets at the Berlin film festival, which is better known for its gritty political fare.
"Iron Sky", a B-movie spoof drawing the crowds at the 11-day event in the German capital, imagines that Hitler's surviving henchmen set up a lunar colony after the fall of the regime in 1945, biding their time to strike back.

The latest trailer features a U.S. president who looks like Alaskan Sarah Palin but talks with a Southern U.S. accent. That's the kinda topical thing that ages a movie like little else (why none of us watch the SCARY MOVIE flicks more than once.).
Hopefully we haven't waited over 5 years to watch the Finland boys drop the ball now.
'Iron Sky' Trailer Gives Us Something New to Fear: Moon Nazis
Listen, everybody knows that eventually a world-beating threat is going to come out of its hiding place on the dark side of the moon and try to take over Earth. That's just obvious.

Is Crowdsourcing The Future Of Film?
More like this please.
I still think the best Superbowl commercial was the one that Chevy crowdsourced.
There's something about getting fans and creative people to collaborate with one another that can really add not just quality, but a level of enthusiasm to a project that I find really inspiring.

Iron Sky Trailer Reveals Space Nazis
Nazis are maybe the best of movie bad guys. Their human yet inhumane, so we as an audience can unrepentantly relish in their destruction be it at the hands of Indiana Jones, Captain America: The First Avenger, or Inglourious Basterds. Because as Lieutenant Aldo Raine gleefully acknowledged in the last, we want those scalps.
