Tommy Wiseau's "The Room"

i know it's been posted already but this interview with Lisa is so good:
http://www.praxismagazine.com/interview/jdan.htm

Lisa's sister

?!?!?!?!?

or friend? i think her name was michelle. he's the guy who's making out with her on the couch when his underwear mysteriously ends up in the cushions

the crew seemed decent though didn't they?

I SAID basic competence

"me underwears" he calls them xp

yeah what is with that guys jaw???

i like the story about how he was a negligent director b/c he would disappear every 10 minutes or so in order to psyche himself into character

I like the doctor in the movie - he is such an awful psychologist - for no reason he suddenly labels Lisa a psychopath - just becuase she is having an affair

I'm going to start referring to sneaking booze as "psyching myself into character" now

xp probably the best character is the guy who he inexplicably gets replaced with like 80% of the way into the film

you mean the "i feel like i'm sitting on top of an atomic bomb waiting for it to explode"-guy

the only actively terrible actor was the guy who was dating Lisa's sister, he seemed to be the only one who didn't play his part straight at all

C'mon this guy was great! Such a natural "freaky jock". I've known guys like him.

I. Am wAtching magical mystery tour right now which is I nfinetly unwatchable. At least the room is endearing. What r

Btw anyone see Troll 2??

It's an entertaining film but not quite in the same league of ed woody wtf. Especially fun for a cheap 80s horror but fits that fomat well enough.

Who Here Has Seen Troll 2?

don't you link at me!

you know, i have still never seen this

at this point though it kinda feels like reading the bible. i'm so familiar with the big scenes from reading about them in other places that what's the point.

it's still worth seeing! the great thing about this movie is the all-you-can-eat levels of wtf-ness even during the scenes that haven't already been youtubed to death.

ok that's overselling it a bit, but still

also u should read the bible

it's nuts man!

lb otm

Also would like to add that, despite the fact that everyone thinks it's necessary to watch this movie in a group, the best part of watching it alone is that you can unselfconsciously skip the sex scenes. They're just too much.

If you skip the sex scenes you are skipping the sex scene songs, and I would never want to do that.

YOU ARE MY ROOOOOOOSE

srsly, the pain of watching those sex scenes is essential

belly button thrustin'

leathery reptile-skinned gyrating tommy in those scenes one of the crowning achievements of the film imho

we finally watched Birdemic last night and it is incomparable to the Room. the former is your standard poorly made terrible flick. The Room is sublime.

wouldn't say that Birdemic is "standard", I have never seen nor could I imagine a movie as poorly made as that one, but yeah, you can't really compare the two. before I watched The Room I was told a lot of things like "it's not just your standard "so bad it's good flick, it's something different" - 20 years from now nobody will remember stuff like "Snakes on a Plane" but I'll bet they're still watching The Room

it was exceptionally poorly made, yes, but I could barely watch it bc of that. soooo boring.

"quiet storm"

it's better if you've ever tried to make movies in high school with a group of friends since it kind of brings back memories

obviously birdemic is terrible since it gets off on the wrong foot right away via an excruciating credits scene - I mean the movie is 45 minutes in before the plot goes anywhere at all...pretty remarkable

Strongo, you really should see the Room. Trust me.

i dunno. i read the bible yesterday and it was pretty bad. i'm not ready to get burned again.

The bible is not as essential.

Jesus wants to be like Johnny, but comes off more like Denny.

About Denny:

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.

"jesus, two is great but three's a crowd."

I love hwen denny says he feels like he wants to kiss lisa and TW is like "Thats OK man" then later when someone actually does he kill shimself

it's ok to feel that way, man. it's not okay to actually do it.

WHAT KIND OF MONEY WAS IT, JESUS!?

WHAT KIND OF DRUGS DO YOU TAKE!?

WHAT THE HELL IS WRON GIWTH YOUU

i will never tire of this wonderfulness even if alray posted

well it is time somebody ganged up on you, FOR GOD'S SAKE...it matters a GREAT DEAL

i love how you hear somewhat in the background "Let's take him to the police!" and they're back literally two minutes later

oh god that scene is incredible.

yeah - there must be a cop in the building at all times

If you think I'm tired today, wait until you see me tomorrow.

As far as I'm concerned, you can drop off the Earth. That's a promise.
