Cool movie on Netflix
I just watched Darkon. It is a documentary about a group of people in this live action role playing game named Darkon. They dress like D&D type characters and battled every weekend.
It was an interesting look into a group of people that often find themselves outcast in society, but free to be themselves when they are pretending to be other people. The movie revolves around a power struggle between two of the main players.
One interesting, kind of sad, part was when one of the guys that appears in it several different times explains how he was in high school when the Columbine attack happened. He had a pretty normal high school life then someone saw him with a list of names. It turns out the list was given to him by his teacher and was a list of kids who had detention. The word spread that he had a list of people he was going to kill and from that moment on he was pretty much shunned at school by everyone.
