What's this about?

Lately, it seems like many of the movies/shows are just a rehash or reboot of things that have already been done. And so I started to dive into the past. It's been fun, but I find myself losing track of which ones I’ve seen and whether or not I enjoyed them. Sometimes the titles themselves just don't tell me enough to remember.

I wouldn’t have voluntarily watched a lot of these movies when I was younger. It’s strange how interests change. That goes for what I read, too. I have another blog that explores books. I’m mostly reading older fiction and memoirs, and some of the books have led me to movies/shows and vice versa. In those cases, I may post the book review over here as well.

There will be spoilers, which is different than my book reviews. That’s mostly because I want to have enough information to help me remember what I’ve seen. I’m getting older. The brain doesn’t cooperate like it used to. What can I say? The gray hairs are catching up with me!

Hardware Wars - 1978

This was found by my daughter's boyfriend. It sounded epic, so I found it online, and we all sat down to watch it together. And oh my goodness!

If you couldn't tell by the title, this is a Star Wars spoof. It was made for $8,000, and it's freaking amazing. All the references and puns are going to go right over your head if you've never seen Star Wars, but if you're a fan, you may enjoy this. If you take everything seriously, you'll think it's a travesty. BUT! We loved it. 

My only complaint is the length. Twelve minutes was just not long enough for this masterpiece. But also, I understand why it was that long. If there was one thing I learned from the film, it was that Ernie Fosselius is a genius. His name was listed under everything on this project, and I applaud him for this effort. I don't know how I've never heard of this before, because it's one of the best things I've seen in a long time! It's on YouTube, so give it a watch if you have a couple minutes. Good/Fun Film!
