Anyone actually see this?

Just watched it myself on Netflix. It’s a nice little doc. Nothing terribly interesting but I suppose still worth a look if you want to. It’s well done, despite being a big overdramatic. I remember going to a Comic-con a few years back and seeing some of these people and others and just thinking it all seemed rather sad that this is what their life has come to. I was happy to see that these guys find SW and the conventions are just one fun and strange aspect of their life. So it’s a little unfortunate that the film takes on the same dour tone of mine and many others assumptions rather than pushing for something more subversive and happier.
