The Room - a must see terrible film.

That trailer is way better than the movie. I've seen it a couple of times with a large group and it's much better that way.

Ya, this scene is a classic example of them setting up for the location, and then someone coming in and saying, 'YOU HAVE TEN MINUTES TO GET OUT!'

It's so obviously rushed. Watch how the scene starts out normal speed, and then slowly picks up, and then they are just practically jumping their lines with no emotion at all and zoom...he's gone, scene end.

So funny. We've all been there (getting rushed on location), but we never let it show so dramatically in the final line reads and cut.

I'm taking it someone didn't have the proper permits, or just ran out of time?:) Either way, it can really affect how the shot is done.

Going to have to watch this....really, after all this talk :)
 
It's bad? What are you guys talking about... You should call it "LMAO Movie Night" instead. I have this movie a 10/10 on imdb for its awesomeness in failing so hard, that is was actually funny. And not in a bad way funny... It was funny in a WTF type funny.

How could you lable this bad? This was awesome.
 
You're tearing me apart, Lisa!

I've only seen Youtube clips, not the full movie, but wow. It's bad. I just moved it up to the top of my Netflix queue.

It doesn't quite reach the 'it's so bad it's good' realm. I mean, it's almost there, but something is holding it back.

But yes, it's entertaining. Cracker, that trailer cut is hilarious. I'm surprised Tommy let's that stay up...I would think he'd try to sue for copyright.

lol...best line in the movie: "You're tearing me apart Lisa!"

I personally love the way he turns his emotions on and off whenever someone new enters the scene "Oh, hi"

Exactly. This is the best example/reason why he's insufferably bad. It's amazing how fast he turns his emotions around.

His laughing is classic also.

Basically he gives the precisely wrong line-reading every time.

I got to see The Producers when is previewed in Chicago before Broadway. It is still the best musical I have EVER seen.

A year or two later I got tickets to the traveling version. It was not nearly as good. My personal reasoning and explanation is that the main actor who played Max was trying so hard not to play it like Nathan Lane did that he actually took every line reading, and on a technical or rhythmic or whatever you want to call it way, and did it the exact opposite way of the way Nathan Lane did it.

I can understand not wanting to just copy another actor's (amazing) performance, but he was WAY overcompensating and wouldn't even read it the same way even if, for that line, it was the ONLY way you could read it well.

So my advice to actors is to get more zen. It's not about replicating someone else's performance, just as you need not do the opposite in order to do something different. Do what is right for each moment or performance.
 
The Room.

I actually saw this...Dear God not the whole thing. It was on a cable station late at night. All I kept thinking was, wow they will put just about anything on tv. The acting, plot (laughing out loud) and everything about this movie was just plain horrible. At first I thought it was some kind of parody to a movie..until I realized it was an actually movie.

Oh, I watched about a third. It did make for a good laugh. Really at first I thought it was one of those badly acted soft porn movies...nope, just a really bad everything movie. If I remember my cheecks were hurting from laughing so much. I remember thinking wow...wow...

I appreciate the plug, Dready.

I also do birthday parties, mitzvahs & the occasional briss.

I'm surprised noone has po(a)sted the recent news flash about this film:

Tommy Wiseau has told EW he will theatrically release a 3-D version of his cult movie The Room

...Room devotees can look forward to the sight of Wiseau’s derriere in three dimensions during the film’s lengthy sex scenes. “My bottom will have to be in 3-D because I’m not changing anything,” he explained. “So you’ll be very close.”

There is just no way this could possibly get any better. :lol:


Btw, my non-filmmaking brother sent me this info. Even he's a fan! God help us all. :no:
 
Is this actually a real movie?

I watched the infamous "Oh hi Mark" scene a while ago and thought it was from some amateur comedy type deal. Not a fully fledged film. How the bloody hell did it even get greenlit? (if it ever was)
 
Netflix it, get a bunch of friends over... beer if of age (you may need it)... just muddle your way through it, it's definately one fo the worst things I've seen, but a large audience laughing with you makes it not quite as bad.
