I doubt most people here are that dedicated to understand much more than the difference between OR and XOR. But you still enjoy computers.

You're missing my point. You don't have to know what goes into making a good movie in order to like this. You have to be so invested in the characters that you are essentially blind to everything else.
What I'm saying, is that the writers of these fan made films are not aspiring film makers. If they were, then they would know better than to touch one of these projects as it would basically seal the deal on them never becoming a star. They are little more than fans themselves. Their goal is not to make money, or do this for a career but to have fun spread fun to others. There's nothing wrong with at all. But it's like if you wanted to go to a dentist, would you settle for a fan of a dentist pretending to be one for fun? Or would you rather go to the real thing?
People that are hardcore fans of the franchise will take what they can get. I on the other hand need a movie made by someone who knows how to make movies. Otherwise I will not enjoy it. I also didn't call these people geeks or nerds. Why you assumed I did is perplexing. I have no qualms with the people making the movie. Nor do I have issues with their intelligence or motivation. I simply am exorcising my right to have an opinion that it will suck. I am basing my opinion on experience and knowledge of the movie making industry. I don't expect anyone without my experience to just give in. But then this is a forum. Herein the free exchange of ideas.
