the computer business is too competitive
btw I made Johnny, Lisa and Denny in the Sims 2. Denny is currently a teen but about to transition to an adult any day now, and naturally he and Lisa will begin an illicit affair. Lisa is the neighborhood skank.

the same theatre is also having both a Kurosawa and a Claire Denis retrospective, and I would feel far too guilty about spending money on The Room while neglecting Rashamon or Beau Travail
i can't advise you to neglect Rashamon or whatever in favor of The Room, but, The Room is pretty amazing and worth seeing and transcends mere "so bad, it's good" status. it's weirdly compelling in a way that inspires multiple viewings. everything about it, without exception is seriously bizarre...its attempts to portray conventional human behavior are consistently, hilariously "off"
the entire film is a series of stuff like thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S9Ew3TIeVQ
i haven't watched it in a group setting, but i can imagine it being really fun

so i downloaded & watched this recently. The scene at the beginning with Denny in the bedroom made me think the movie would have some interesting ideas -- johnny plays it cool with him being there; perhaps it's a social circle where nothing is private -- but no, the movie is just stupid.
Yr doin' it wrong. Watching it alone on a computer/TV at home looking for a watchable film is so utterly not the point of this movie.

Christopher Nolan + Tommy Wiseau, the two great auteurs of our time.

That vampire movie can't be as good as the Room, can it? You gotta figure Tommy's at least a little self-aware now.

My co-worker spoke to Tommy Wiseau on the phone yesterday! I had no idea but apparently he distributes the DVD himself. So if a store wants to sell it, or rent it, they buy it from his production company (which I presume is him and dvd burner). Fascinating.

This is still hilarious.

My feeling is that if you don't like the first half you won't like the second half either. It isn't for everybody.

But it is crucial that you watch it with other people, and go in expecting something terrible but sublime.
― macaroni rascal (polyphonic), Thursday, 2 December 2010 20:47 (thirteen years ago) link
or you could watch it with the Rifftrax. it's like a little set of training wheels for those who can't stomach the full-on Room experience.
