They were STILL making them? Even *I* moved over to CDs (not exactly sparkling new tech themselves) decades ago? Even the iPod is already 9 years old, after all…..

Some longtime, wonderful friends were up to visit last night. Besides excellent food, gelato and company, they brought the DVD of Fanboys over to watch. I had not heard of this movie before (crazy fictional tale of some Star Wars fans seeking Skywalker Ranch) – but it’s fairly recent (2008).

And who knew there was such a ‘war’ on between Star Wars and Star Trek fans? Apparently so, at least according to this movie (and Triumph from a few years ago). There are a lot of fun cameos (and at least one gross one) in this movie, too. It’s not a ‘mockumentary’ a la Spinal Tap or Best in Show – nor a ‘real’ documentary like Trekkies – but there are similar aspects, definitely.

Sadly to admit, to get the absolute most out of it you have to be a pretty big nerd – in my case, I spotted one reference that even my nerdy friend who brought the movie didn’t catch. I guess I ‘win’ – this time 🙂
