Anaspatiographisms (Anatopism?) make no sense
Ok, I wasn't sure what the word was, if it exists, so I made up my own to the nearest logical conclusion that I could muster.
Anachronism deals with time, so 'locational anachronism' would be usually 'anageographism', right? But because it's SPACE, it's not GEOgraphy, now is it? Therefore, it has to be like 'spacegraphy', which translates into 'spatiography'...
..this planet's languages REALLY lack in spatial and dimensional vocabulary, geez.
Anyway, how can Dark Helmet, Lone Starr and the President know such locations as 'Beverly Hills', 'Paris', 'Disneyland', etc.? I even wrote a separate post about how the 'Fourth of July'-reference makes no sense on another planet 'Once upon a space warp', and then I pointed out how 'Winnebago' (old Earth indian language and a corporate name) and Mercedes-Benz (german corporate name) should not be a part of the knowledge base or language of some planet that's most definitely 'far, far away'... but all these 'spatio-graphical anachronisms' as I would love to call them, make even less sense.
They're used without any regards to the impossibility or improbability of those things existing in that Universe, and then we're even shown how they end up on future Earth somehow (even though Mega-Maid (former Spaceball-1) explodes near Druidia (which isn't supposed to be future Earth... or IS IT? That would explain a heckuva lot!), because we're shown the apes from 'Planet of the Apes'..
The more you think about this movie, the less sense it starts to make. It's almost reaching the nonsensical heights of 'Project A-Ko', but at least Spaceballs isn't as annoying with some whiny brat destroying the viewer's nerves most of the viewing time.
In any case, these Anaspatiographisms make no sense.
P.S. I was informed the actual word might be 'Anatopism', but in common sense, that would seem to point to 'topic' being wrong. Oh, well... english is a weird language.
