The Room

[BT]

I started reading about this movie a couple of years ago when I was in L.A. It's a cult favorite, very popular with comedians and celebrities. Anyway, I forgot about it, but recently I've been seeing more articles on it. Entertainment Weekly ran a big one on it. The Onion just did a story on it.

The thing is, I understood it was supposed to be bad. But thanks to Youtube, I can now see how BAAAAAD this movie must be. It's astonishing really.

First off, tell me you believe a word this guy is saying (that's Tommy Wiseau, the director).

Here is Tommy very unconvincingly freaking out:

And (oddly) my favorite, tommy trying to remember all 4 of his lines.

I really want to see this.

I guess posting 3 videos wasn't the best idea though.
