The Room, easily.

Oh hi Mark!

It's bullshit. *nonchalantly and no situational awareness, tosses a water bottle in a random direction. **random offscreen voice "Ow! Hey!"

It's pretty funny at times 😄 but the cringe... It's not worth it. It wasn't worth it. At least not during. It's pretty fun to have the reference with my buddies and wife, lol.

Napoleon Dynamite was definitely like this for me. Watching it was fine, and funny even. But quoting it after the fact with my friends? Fucking hilarious.

This one kind of annoys me. It turns out NP is really a thing for its time, unlike Blazing Saddles or Airplane. I would use sound clips from NP during my early streams if they fit the context. Now? The references are too dated in that they point to a culture that just doesn't exist in that form anymore. The setting, sure, but the vocabulary and the inside jokes sail over most people's heads these days. Which I think kinda sucks because Napoleon Dynamite is a great slow low budget quiet comedy about nothing interesting.

Have you seen Disaster Artist? It’s great.

Is that the movie about making the movie The Room? Starring that drugged-looking guy? What's his face...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Stars James and Dave Franco as Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero, respectively. Definitely worth a watch.

😄 Yeah that one fell off my radar in all honesty, but I should get to watching that. Thanks for reminding me! 🤝
