I like using "WHAT no tips from your job " like for example if there is no frosting on the cake
"what no frosting !"

what the hell is with that guy who is only in the party scene - he happens upon lisa kissing mark and he is like WHATS GOING ON HERE - what an asshole - mind your own business.
He is such a random character/plot hole

apparently the guy who played Kevin (??) (the dorky looking dude who trips while playing football) quit midshoot so he was replaced by this guy who I think is "Steve"

he's one of the most awesome parts of the movie, he gets no introduction or anything, he just shows up and becomes a major character for like 5 minutes

yeah, I love that guy too!

also, the phrase "future wife" cracks me up every time tommy drops it.

lol - I wonder why everyone didnt quit. what were they thinking? they must have known that they were in a disaster

apparently they all got paid well and I think a lot of them knew the kind of "potential" this film had

frogbs, Tuesday, 21 June 2011 18:46 (1 year ago) Permalink

are the roof scenes blue-screened? I cant decide

coffeetripperspillerslyricmakeruppers (Latham Green), Tuesday, 21 June 2011 18:47 (1 year ago) Permalink

Green-screened, Phantom Menace-style. They did a 360-degree shot in SF and filmed the scenes in a studio in L.A.

In fact, almost all of it was filmed in LA, I think, which is why they take great pains to insert "THIS IS SAN FRANCISCO HERE IS TOMMY ON A STREETCAR HERE IS A BRIDGE" shots.

this movie seriously gets better every time you see it. Sestero constantly asking "what's going on here? why are you doing this?" every scene is possibly the best part of the film now.

It really is a majestic offering isn't it? I love that strange young college boy who seems at once mentally challenged and yet also in college? He doesnt get the message "see you later we are going up stairs to ball" and just goes up to their bedroom and jumps on their bed like some deranged puppy - yet they are delighted with him not like "wtf get away you dick"

also one thing I never noticed is how weird the whole thing with Claudette and Denny is on the roof with Chris-R, because the film suggests that they just met each other for the first time like two minutes prior, so I don't know why she feels the need to yell at him like that

frogbs, Monday, 16 July 2012 14:59 (10 months ago) Permalink

btw this is my favorite Room-related anything, it's one of the only parody videos that actually captures the spirit of the movie quite well

frogbs, Monday, 16 July 2012 15:02 (10 months ago) Permalink

that is the best - she really goes beerserk - what must that poor grandma actor have been thinking ? "my career is over"
I also love the fact that they take the man with a gun away and retun in like 30 seconds but he went to jail in that time frame

The Cheerfull Turtle (Latham Green), Monday, 16 July 2012 15:09 (10 months ago) Permalink

I just imdb'd her, she didn't really have a "career" per se but apparently she was on an episode of That's My Bush! I just love the way she turns around every phrase - "it doesn't matter"..."it matters a great deal!!" "stop ganging up on me"..."well it's about time someone ganged up on you!!" (again, they just met)

i showed this to a friend of mine recently. he didnt laugh once but told me after it ended that he found it "strangely moving"!

Michael B Higgins (Michael B), Monday, 16 July 2012 15:21 (10 months ago) Permalink

Maybe he once had a girlfriend who liked to wear his ties and cheat on him.

I found him in a Bon Ton ad (Nicole), Monday, 16 July 2012 15:22 (10 months ago) Permalink

Possibly.

Michael B Higgins (Michael B), Monday, 16 July 2012 15:23 (10 months ago) Permalink

i can get why someone would find it moving. it's clearly very deeply felt by wiseau, and it seems like such a personal document of pain + misery.

sad at no lisa rear shots while in bed but Tommy W ones a plenty

The Cheerfull Turtle (Latham Green), Monday, 16 July 2012 15:56 (10 months ago) Permalink

I think Sestero said something along those lines, that Tommy did actually have a Lisa, a Mark, and a Denny in his life (which may explain why Denny's a major character even though he has pretty much nothing to do with the plot)

Question: Is it worth paying a 50% surcharge to see The Room at a screening where Wiseau and Sestero are scheduled to appear?

i like slash and i vote (j.lu), Monday, 16 July 2012 20:06 (10 months ago) Permalink

How much is the total cost?

I loved seeing it live, and need to go to a screening again sometime.

Wiseau is not alive anymore

The Cheerfull Turtle (Latham Green), Monday, 16 July 2012 20:08 (10 months ago) Permalink

I never got to go to one (Chicago, which is 150 miles away, is the closest he's ever gotten) but my brother went and said it was probably the best thing he's ever been to.

Happy Birthday Greg Sestero. I hope his book will be good.

Steam Sale Jonesin' (kingfish), Monday, 16 July 2012 21:29 (10 months ago) Permalink

How much is the total cost?

$15 (compared to a standard $10).

i say yes, go. absolutely.

dude I went to see the showing w/Wiseau&Sestero when they came to town here. HOLY SHIT. on this tour Tommy Wiseau asks people from the audience to come onstage to play a game & win some Room-related prizes. then after like 40 people have lined up he tells them they have to catch this crumpled-up water bottle that Sestero throws at them twenty-five times in a row without dropping it. why? there is no explanation. who really knows if dude is just playing up his weirdo angle because that's all he's got left, but both times I've seen him I have thought this guy is literally the most absurd human being. also he wears a second belt just around the bottom of his ass, presumably to make his ass look good.

That makes it a perfect Room-related game then.

he is a demoen

The Cheerfull Turtle (Latham Green), Tuesday, 17 July 2012 13:53 (10 months ago) Permalink

I've always been one to suspect that some guys try to act a lot weirder in public than they actually are, but based on everything I've read about Tommy he really is that strange. Sestero's book should shine a lot of light on this, he's already said that it really asks more questions than it answers, but it should explain a lot of the stranger lines in the movie

frogbs, Tuesday, 17 July 2012 14:03 (10 months ago) Permalink

how did wiseau get the money to make this thing anyway?

The Cheerfull Turtle (Latham Green), Tuesday, 17 July 2012 14:18 (10 months ago) Permalink

that'll be in the book! (apparently he claimed to import jeans or something, but really who knows. apparently the cast/crew was paid pretty well!)

frogbs, Tuesday, 17 July 2012 14:19 (10 months ago) Permalink

his actual response to that question:

"We import from Korea the leather jackets that we design here in America. If you work, you have to save money, right? I didn't get money from the sky."

AVC: What do you think Philip Haldiman brought to the role of Denny?

TW: I think he brought a lot stuff. One thing was people actually, he’s really retarded a little bit.
