I like the idea of having somebody like Peter Jackson saying "Here's 30 million, do whatever you want." (Fun fact: 30 million USD is more than the most expensive Swedish film in history cost. I think? Okay maybe it isn't, but it's still more than most films done here cost.) Also, using things like an actual township built on top of a landfill and actual dead animals found on site rather than greenscreen studios and fabricated props; disgusting, but cool. Using what you have at hand when making films seems like a good philosophy to me. :)
Haven't seen Attack the Block, there hasn't been a lot of buzz about it, though lately I've heard some mentions of it being worth watching. The last film I saw at a theatre before Iron Sky was The Artist, which is now in my top 3 along with District 9 and Toy Story 3.
