High expectations

This happens often; I have high expectations about something and usually end up being disappointed in some way. Such thing happened with Rockville, a rock musical, in Helsinki. I expected a lot from that play since it was made by professional theatre. But no. It was disappointment. The youth theatre in Rantasalmi did so much better version of it (and me and three other classmates made costumes for it and they were awesome). They just gave so much more to it than those professional actors together.

But sometimes your high expectations are met. Like this movie I expected a long time and was so excited about it. That movie, of course, is Iron Sky. Following description is from their site:

"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."



Sounds cool idea huh? If you're interested to learn more about the movie, go here.
That movie was real eye candy for a costume geek like me who's into military gear. I could watch it so many times and just examine all those uniforms and other costumes.

I saw the movie when they were doing preview-touring: Iron Sky on tour. Ticket to the preview event included Tour T-shirt, signed movie poster (signed by the director), iron sky -buttons, of course the movie and 45-minute seminar with director and producer.
Tour T-shirt <3
As the closing statement I add my favorite Iron Sky trailer (teaser trailer 2), and say this:
Go watch it!!
