nonsense; decent people will help you sneak booze into the theater

At the theatre they showed it at here you could buy beer and wine!

i was worried this was going to be just boring, but it wasn't at all. the audience participation stuff probably helped smooth things over, but damn, such an intense level of sustained shittiness.

I was thinking about this film the other day (as I often do) and I think it appeals to me for the same reason that TVtropes appeals to me. It deconstructs narrative to bare bones that, left as is, are totally meaningless. It's like some kind of unconscious dreaming id of human narrative -- like dreaming.

Every time I have to give my husband directions to somewhere that involve going on Guerrero Street he always asks if it's near the hospital.

What's this look that Denny + Mark are giving each other at 2:34 in that clip? Are they co-conspirators in something we're never shown? Does Denny distrust Mark because he suspects he's having an affair with Lisa? Is Mark secretly Denny's father? Are they just having eye-sex?

lol @ how many "I dont want to talk about it"s Lisa has. I noticed that when I watched the movie, by the end I was yelling "you never do you bitch!" at the screen.

really glad i saw this for the first time (like a week or two ago) with someone else, but not in a theater full of people I don't know. You definitely want to share the experience but I liked being able to rewind and not have people who know the film shouting over it. Really does live up to the hype whether you're someone who doesn't really do ironic films or does them all the time.
― da croupier, Wednesday, 19 May 2010 00:22 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah now ive done a cinema viewing I'd like to get a DVD out and watch it with some friends or a date. it'd be hilaro.

has no bearing at all on the lines before or after, or the rest of the scene, or anything that happens in the rest of the movie. but the sound editing and cuts put it right in the scene, so effort went into putting it where it is, it's not a mistake.
xp

ha watching it again, i totally have that wrong. it IS the start of another conversation.

He's too busy to play cards because he expects Lisa at any minute, yet he subjects his buds to a rambling story then asks them if they want to eat something?
― lpz, Wednesday, 19 May 2010 21:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Holy hell, I had a DREAM about this movie last night. At first it was just me and some friends going to a showing, at which Wiseau was appearing. I remember walking around looking for a seat. and then the next thing I know I'm actually *in* the film, as a minor character. Lisa kept taking beers out of a large, commercial fridge and laughing very insincerely at everything.
wtf.
― demiurge overkill (Trayce), Wednesday, 19 May 2010 22:15 (fourteen years ago) link
Saw this last night. LOL @ Q&A with Tommy Wiseau beforehand.
― dud rock (crüt), Sunday, 23 May 2010 14:07 (fourteen years ago) link
his responses were 1/3 incomprehensible gibberish, 1/3 cryptic hints ("the most famous person who has ever been to a screening of the room, is a woman and name starts with C. Ha ha!"), and 1/3 "that is a very boring question"
― dud rock (crüt), Sunday, 23 May 2010 14:10 (fourteen years ago) link
haha!
― taylory dayne (goole), Sunday, 23 May 2010 14:43 (fourteen years ago) link
He also ended every answer with "I rest my case."
― dud rock (crüt), Sunday, 23 May 2010 15:18 (fourteen years ago) link
LOL I was gonna ask you for an update on this. How was the audience during the film? I'm actually curious if each city/country has developed its own diferent memes/jokes for shouting and whatnot.
― demiurge overkill (Trayce), Sunday, 23 May 2010 21:46 (fourteen years ago) link
Seeing this next Friday :)
xpost also interested in answer to Trayce's question, but keep the spoilers on the downlow!

Hahah there's so many YT trailers now that there's very little spoileration to be had, tbqh.

Hmm i guess, like I've seen the roof scene, the flowershop scene and lots of reviews, doubt that will detract massively though.
My main worry, if one film could call it that: I don't know if you've seen/heard of the Troll 2 cult fandom, but I worry that the film just won't be entertaining and worth sitting through apart from the odd lol/wtf moment. Maybe sitting in a big cinema after a few drinks with a good crowd could alter things though.
Have any of you seen it in London?
― Davek (davek_00), Sunday, 23 May 2010 22:07 (fourteen years ago) link
The Room is nothing like Troll 2. Troll 2 is really just a really bad, poorly acted film. The Room is transcendentally so - like really you won't be bored at all.
― Mordy, Sunday, 23 May 2010 22:11 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, Troll 2 is way more boring, although it has a few transcendent moments.
― no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Sunday, 23 May 2010 22:38 (fourteen years ago) link
The opening 10 minutes or so defy belief.

I love Troll 2, but not for the same reasons as I love The Room. They're just different, both awesome in their own way.
― an outlet to express the dark invocations of (La Lechera), Sunday, 23 May 2010 22:46 (fourteen years ago) link
Neither Troll 2 or The Room are boring. They're both truly "so bad they're good" movies. Where The Room has a leg up is its director/star, a singular human anomaly. We would like to study him.
