I'd walk away from a porn if it was 80% Tommy Wiseau's rear end bobbing up and down in front of the camera

It’s not “good” in any sense, not even ironically. It’s a study in wondering how such a thing could possibly have come to be (and TDA is someone’s wondering so hard he got funding for it).

You have to just ... experience it. Otherwise we won’t be able to relate to you.

TDA was a book written by the guy who played Mark in The Room, which was then made into its own movie.

Unless that's the point and I missed it.

Never forget that Sestero actually had a major role in a Puppet Master film and was a fashion model before he was essentially forced to help Tommy Wiseau.

Nope, that's a whiff on my part :downs: To save face, my point was that Sestero knew that this was a behind-the-scenes/making-of that eeeeeeeeeveryone would want to see.

He's a wisecracker!
Reading the book is kind of sad, as Sestero outlines how he managed to alienate an actually big time agent who signed him through an innocent mistake, which made him desperate enough to hitch himself to Wiseau. Not to say he would have had a big career, or how true the book is, but he probably would have done okay as a bit player and model for a few years instead of having to do conventions as "the guy from that movie. No not that guy, the other one."

I agree with this. I would recommend someone watch a “best of” segment and save themselves watching the full movie. Or read The Disaster Artist book (I did enjoy the book and movie. I listened to the audio book narrated by Greg. I enjoyed TDA while I did not enjoy The Room). The Room shows what a weird perv Wiseau is. After the third or fourth sex scene, we just skipped around to find the funny scenes.

It’s still quotable and easy to reference cuz it’s so bizarre. But what stuck out to me was that Wiseau is a creep with issues with women. Well, he’s got social issues in general... Sorry to add to the derail. Tommy is weird, Movie is bad - but the production of the movie is interesting.

It's only really a """good""" movie to have playing in the background while hanging out with friends that are sufficiently intoxicated. Sex scene? Smoke/drink/bathroom break.

There's a Rifftrax of The Room that probably makes it a little more palatable to watch if you don't have friends of your own to riff it with. Unfortunately it's one of those where they can only distribute the joke track and you have to sync it up with the movie, but there are usually combined :filez: versions out there if you look around. Just kick the Rifftrax guys the money for the track anyway, since it's cheap and they suffered.

Rhe Room is an experiment in "Let's take all the things that make a movie good (storytelling, editing, acting) and do the exact opposite."

The Room is pretty much an anti-movie.

Hah, yeah that’s not a bad idea.

Calling it an “experience” vs “so bad it’s good” is pretty accurate too.

Also probably some kind of bizarre Australian marsupial or monotreme that has a freaky three-headed dick and will inject you with weird venom that causes you to hallucinate for 5 years.

Fun anus fact: there's a type of jellyfish called Mnemiopsis leidyi (the warty comb jelly) which only sometimes has an rear end in a top hat. If it needs to poop it'll grow an rear end in a top hat, if it doesn't need to poop its rear end in a top hat disappears.

Good: watch The Room.

Better: watch The Room with friends.

Best: watch The Room with friends and Rifftrax.

The Riff doesn't take away from the experience of watching the movie yourself. Nothing can. It makes it more tolerable, and provides moral support (and jokes).

I remember when The Room was first blowing up. A friend of mine had discovered it and was trying to show everyone the funniest bits on a computer in the school's radio/TV studio. However by some wierd chance wherever he jumped to on the timeline he landed on a sex scene.

Everyone thought he was trying to show us porn and walked away.

The sex scene is untimely, gratuitous, and incredibly weird. It is excruciatingly long, like a few straight minutes I poo poo you not. It features the worst use music I have ever heard in film. It is painful to watch, and occurs about five minutes into the movie. The dude spends most of the scene grinding his dick into her hip. It's like a space alien wrote a sex scene.

And it is not even close to the worst scene in the movie. :allears: :allears: :allears:
