Tommy Wiseau's "The Room"

I didn't think I'd like the midnight screening, but it was so great. The other people in the audience pointed out things I'd never noticed, and you really have to see the movie on the big screen to understand how shabby a production it is.

watching this was pretty fun and hilarious but i really can't imagine wanting to do it ever again tbh

oh hiii slocki

hi

I have been unable to greet anyone with anything other than "oh hiii x" ever since I saw this movie 3 days ago.

Rumor has it that he has a vampire film in the works

Tommy Wiseau's Twilight would surely be the greatest movie ever.

I can definitely see him as some sort of weird Phantom of the Opera-esque vampire because he already looks that way anyway.

I'm getting images of blood-filled footballs. This is not healthy.

Don't worry about it!

But it's TEARING me etc.

Saw this tonight at a sorta midnight screening at Cinema 21. The theater staff had a large of soundtrack cds that they gave away free.

The film itself was sublime. Here's Tommy talking to the local alt-weekly in a nice long interview: http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/interview-with-tommy-wiseau/Content?oid=1573119

...Can you tell me more about the vampire movie you're working on?

Well this we may shoot at Austin, Texas, but I am... well, it'll be something unique, let's put it this way. So that's basically it. I think that a vampire, generally speaking, is an equal survivor of human behavior, somewhat to certain degrees, which is prolonging the life, if I may say that. So but. Whatever people believe in vampire or I believe in vampire, that's irrelevant, because I think the topic is, it's much more deep which actually relates to human behavior if you really think about it. Of course, all that stuff, it's sort of assumption and a lot of fantasy go into it. But the probability is very high if you really think about it, how you can prolong your life—have different blood type, or what is the....

I think this technology, you look at around you, we go so up, that I believe 10 years from today we probably don't need a doctor. You will have your own doctor, computers will say, "Okay, your sugar level is too low, you have to eat this or that, etc., etc." You know what I mean. Actually, I want to make a movie about this one, too, something like that. But the vampire is a very exciting project that I'm working on currently, yes.

Is that something you're writing?

I already have two scripts for vampires—100 page scripts. We do one at a time.

Are there two separate movies?

Yes. Two separate movies.

Are they connected, plot-wise? Is one a sequel of the other one?

Actually, one is connected somewhat. And one, I give you one clue, that it's connected to all the vampires which you see in the entire world. So it's very deep in the depth. Okay? And, um, [laughs] yeah I have crazy ideas right now, but I don't... Okay, I will tell you anyway. It's too bad that some other people are very snobbish, people who produce vampires movie. Because my vampires are very much connected to all the vampires, let's put it this way. So, I'm not giving more to you [laughs].

we took an informal poll and decided that his accent and source of funding were both armenian mafia.

Ok, so the soundtrack cd i was given wasn't actually a cd at all, but a promo dvd with trailers & such. This will be most effective in spreading the infection.

(ie, the LA Times goes 'oh hey there's this thing')

"Now it's shown on five screens and often sells out."

Wow. Who will fund (is funding?) his ent film?

Also his next film.

Tommy Wiseau's The Lord of the Rings

YOU'RE TEARING ME APART, SAURON

Oh Hi, Balrog!

He says he is working on a sitcom pilot called "The Neighbors" and has a vampire film in the works.

Oh man a Wiseau vampire movie would be so perfect.

You already put it best upthread!

I can definitely see him as some sort of weird Phantom of the Opera-esque vampire because he already looks that way anyway.

Oh hi, thread.

Saw this last weekend at a latenight screening theyre currently doing in Melb for a few weeks. The amount of screaming and cheering at the screen was amazing - got a bit annoying at times cos couldn't hear the dialogue, not that it really mattered.

Spoons EVERYWHERE, oh the humanity.

And do other screenings shout out implications at the end that Mark and Denny are giving Johnny's dead body a blowjob!?. Because they did here. Eww.

DON'T TAHCH ME, MATHERFAHCKER!

YOOAH TEARING ME APAAAHHHHT.

The bit where he trashes the house and tosses the TV out the window had the entire cinema screaming with cheers like a rock gig. I was crying with laughter because suddenly the bed was downstairs instead of upstairs, whaaaaat the fuck.

LOL even that trailer is as all over the place as the actual plot! Like the Denny vs Chris-R thing - what the heck happened? WHERE DID HE GO?

And at the party - who the fuck was that guy who started lecuturing Lisa. WHO THE HELL WAS HE. No introduction, nothing.

TVs behind couches. Endless continuity gaffes. Bad green-screening. TERRIBLE SEX SCENES. Whats not to love.

He and his pals play with a football in a manner that I've personally never seen before.

Lisas mom "I'll go and clean up the kitchen now"
guy in audience: "WHAT FUCKING KITCHEN!!!???"

"That's me!"

loooollllz

Has anyone else here been to screenings? I am curious to know if the BJ thing was just a Melb thing or not - it was hella gross (and once you thought it you couldnt un-think it!)

I didn't notice it at the SF screening.

Australians be dirty.

lolllllll @ Patton <3

I've been to 3 or 4 of the portland screenings. I don't think that joke is over here, but I'm usually too drunk to notice.

after seeing Tommy Wiseau and his fat, flabby ass banging away at some barely-legal skank not once, but TWICE, in this film w/ some generic R. Kelly-clone slow jamz blaring in the background -- i knew that this film crossed SOME sort of line that should never be crossed.

you're a chicken CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP

Eisbaer, I can't believe you called Mladen Milicevic and Kitra Williams's immortal classic "You're My Rose" a generic R, Kelly clone. Shame on you.

YOU ARE MY ROSE
YOU ARE MY ROSE
YOU ARE MY ROOOOOOOSE

Well it was once technically seeing as they blatantly just re-used the footage from the first time around, lol.

Oh god the sight of his butt scoured my brain forever.

and yes, mike nelson and the rifftrax crew had some fun at the expense of the room:

lol @ the flower shop scene.

"How much is it?"
"It'll be eig---" "here you go! keep the change."

Oh hai guyz

Haiiiiiiii you mean

Does anyone else feel like the underwear story guy is a huge ham and maybe the only actor who realized how awful the whole production was? Every scene I see him in, he seems like he's super hamming it up.

His face during the blowjob is incredible.

Might go to the Red Vic midnight showing next weekend, I haven't seen it except for the clips above. Bringing some friends but worried they might hate me after...

Get ready for a highly participatory experience.

The last old time picture palace in Houston that's still a movie theatre is having to permanently close next week, and I'm sad that for the foreseeable future we won't have a midnight movie home for The Room and Rocky Horror.

sorry, i'm on neil breen's planet now, don't have time for the Linton film

I just

the upcoming remake of ‘THE ROOM,’

The only way that could be interesting is if they actually tried to make a good movie

The Room Reloaded

Same Room, Different Test Results

this strikes me as an idea that could potentially be very funny if it was done with a uh...less overexposed bad movie. have they never seen a Neil Breen film?

Should’ve picked like a forgotten D-tier 1970s comedy or something

your terrible ideas

this strikes me as an idea that could potentially be very funny if it was done with a uh...less overexposed bad movie. have they never seen a Neil Breen film?

Nah, The Room is a lot easier to put through the Gus Van Sant/Psycho postmodernism generator
