I must say that I thorougly hated the movie. I think its bland and boring. There arw some funny/memeable scenes but I recommend watchin something else.
But what are your thoughts? Maybe you enjoyed it!
Did you watch it by yourself or in a group?
Bad movies are much better in groups.
A group online. We do movie nights on Friday night.
Some friends and I managed to attend a live showing of The Room at a local theater, complete with a Greg Sestero cameo! He's a cool dude, and the experience of watching The Room in a theater with other fans was unmatched. Throwing spoons, "hi Denny" , and "because you're a woman!" Are some of the things people do or say during the movie.
I watched it with this specific intention, to see a movie that I knew would be so incredibly bad and boring and cringe. My wife and I watched it because it just had to be seen. Like a spectacle. The worst movie of all time. ππβ¨
It didn't fucking disappoint. Hoo boy.
So many questions raised, like did Tommy think this was good? Drugs? Does he have friends who think he's good? Mommy Wiseau telling him he could do anything he put his mind to? Did people get paid eventually? All these things I wonder, and more.
Watch The Disaster Artist instead.
We wanted to but I had trouble getting a copy. I normally don't have that problem with films but every torrent was being seeded by people with BPD.
Part of the magic for me is that for years after its release it was so weird and mysterious. Was Tommy Wiseau in on the joke? Who the hell is this guy, where is he from, and where did he get the money to finance this? I don't normally care about so-bad-they're-good movies, but The Room is such a treat.
