Don't get me wrong, this movie is hilarious. I was laughing out loud as I watched it alone, with my headphones on. I was lucky enough to have a friend who owned it and was nice enough to lend it to me on DVD. I was pretty amazed that this was all true, so I watched a making-of on the DVD, and learned that the main character is not a real guy. He does ride around in a captain pike chair, but he is not quite as nerdy as the act that he puts on. He does not believe in aliens, and all the stuff with the trailer was totally made up. He's doing an act like Ali-G or Jiminy Glick, a character interviewing people. I did like the movie, but was disappointed that I didn't know it was part fiction.
