Topic: Zero Charisma

I have not seen this yet, but I was wondering if anyone else had, and what they thought.

Re: Zero Charisma

I've been dying to see it, and I know it's showed a couple times at Cinefamily.

Re: Zero Charisma

Who is that supposed to appeal to? Why are you interested in it, Eddie?

Warning: I'm probably rewriting this post as you read it.

Re: Zero Charisma

I have it rented from iTunes. I liked the trailer and I heard good things about it. I'm excited to watch it

There are lots of table top gamers out there. I would imagine many times they don't have much choice in who they play with, because it would be hard to find others to play with. That means sometimes having to interact with certain people who you wouldn't normally ever associate with just to enjoy a hobby you want to participate in. I would imagine it appeals to anyone who's been in a situation where you've just wanted to scream at people, "you just don't get it!" Interacting with people who don't share your passion, or on the flip side, observing people who have a passion for something that doesn't make sense to you, I think are pretty common life experiences.

Re: Zero Charisma

2 things...

1) I had not, but I'm curious to see it.

2) Why is this in reviews if no one's seen it?

My Bad. I was hoping someone had seen it, and would review.  I guess I'll have to do it myself.

I'm always interested in stories that deal with identity.  More specifically, stories in which someone's perception of their own identity becomes threatened.  Zero Charisma has it's lead character challenged by a handsomer, nicer, cooler version of himself and so his place in his social group becomes questioned.  I dig that sorta thing.  Plus, I spent hundreds if hours of my youth slinging 20, 8, and 4 sided die.  These are my people.
