If any of you would like to see a truly interesting film check out “In the Realms of the Unreal, The Mystery of Henry Darger”

Have to say this has to be one of the most extraordinary things I have ever seen. Actually I am amazed I hadn’t heard of it before.

I found it on DVD at my local library, LOL come across some of the coolest stuff a libraries!

Peace
Rick

He seems to have been a complex and troubled soul

Yes he was indeed. I would have felt sorry for him if hadn't built this world to express his machinations. That's one of the strange things I took away from the film, As alone as he was he surely couldn't have been very bored! Razz
