Lyran Spaceballs...
« on: June 22, 2012, 06:50:01 AM »
Watching Spaceballs at the moment and it just struck me that the Spaceballs are more Lyran then I would like to admit.  Not only are the helmets a good match for the Steiner Clam, but the general competence of the army and the nature of their Social Generals is all just a little close to home.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

This topic is investigating the effects of the Lyran Social General upon 20th Century Film. A worthy topic I would believe.
