Watch This! The Room

[dreiser]

I love movies that are so bad they're hilariously good. The phrase I use to describe such movies is quality and The Room is the most quality movie I've seen in a long time. oneiric22 you must see it. We shall bring it to Wondercon. I have decided.



The Room is hard to describe. There isn't much of a plot really. Johnny is in love with Lisa who everyone strangely finds incredibly attractive, Lisa is a ho who sleeps with Johnny's best friend Mark, Johnny freaks out. The plot doesn't matter though. I think this Amazon.com review best explains why The Room is made of quality.

It's not just the dreadful acting or the sub-normal screenplay or the bewildering direction or the musical score so soaked in melodrama that you will throw up on yourself or the lunatic-making cinematography; no, there is something so magically wrong with this movie that it can only be the product of divine intervention. If you took the greatest filmmakers in history and gave them all the task of purposefully creating a film as spectacularly horrible as this not one of them, with all their knowledge and skill, could make anything that could even be considered as a contender. Not one line or scene would rival any moment in The Room.

Johnny buys flowers!

Johnny is being torn apart!

Johnny gets angry!

People find Lisa hot for some reason!

Lisa has dirty talk with Mark!

Breast cancer!

The Trailer! Which doesn't really reveal the true greatness.

Watching this in the theater with a sold out crowd making fun of it the entire time was the single best experience I've had at the cinema.

I am envious. I would love to see a screening of this movie in the theater. I got to see Repo! The Genetic Opera and Showgirls but this... this would be a thing of beauty.

It's been years and I still know the words to the song in the sex scene. Ha. I wish they would have screenings of it in other places besides L.A. This needs to be experienced by the masses, at midnight screenings, across the country. :)
