Movies and TV Let's talk about 'The Room' by Tommy Wiseau - Page 3

pugsnotdrugs19 · 01-13-2018, 05:23 PM

I just learned about this movie a few weeks back. Supposed to be 'the best worst movie ever'... The Disaster Artist (Franco brothers, Seth Rogen) just came out not long ago as a film which was about the making of 'The Room' from 2003.

The film has a cult following to this day. So I watched some YouTube videos to figure out what the buzz was all about... why do people love this terrible movie? And I quickly realized their reasoning.

Some highlights:

So, I finally got around to watching the whole film and it truly is the most golden piece of shit to ever grace a movie screen. I still haven't checked out the Franco brothers' and Seth Rogen's film based around the original, but it has been positively regarded by many.

Has anyone else saw this? If so, thoughts? If not, do you plan to?

It really is a fascinating piece of art by Mr. Wiseau, with an incredible backstory if you ever become interested enough to look into it.

Touché, I'm kinda surprised it wasn't to be honest after you did post that

I don't know about that.

Firstly I'm a MST3K fan, and there are some amazingly great bad movies. I'm just one of those guys who watches movies like this.

The truth is that it's all Wiseau that's fascinating. The movie has nothing else to amuse you even as a 'so bad it's good' viewing. If you put any normal bad actor in his place it's just a really boring bad movie. It's all just HIS performance.

Yeah, I'm critiquing a movie's 'so bad it's good' status.

Christ I suck.

And the The Dark Knight without Heath Ledger would be stale and boring too

I don't know, man. Dennys overall creepiness, Marks amazement every time Lisa is DTF, and Lisa's mother in general are all pretty amusing in their own way.

I don't agree. I think a number of method actors could have done that role as it was written.

Heath Ledger is/was not the greatest actor in the world, and the way that character was written had a massive impact on how it was portrayed. Certainly nobody could have followed it, but that could have been the case with a number of guys.

It's not like he just pulled that whole character out of his ass. The Joker, as a character, ALWAYS sells tickets.

Not so much the writing, he literally killed himself after playing the part, he isolated himself in a hotel w/ his drugs to make himself ****ing crazy. But The Room wouldn't be as good without Denny or the other terrible actors. I do agree The Room would not be memorable without Tommy Wiseau. That accent and delivery of the dialogue is priceless.

Sometimes, when the lighting hits just right, Lisa looks like Anna Faris to me. Gives it a bit of Scary Movie feel.

Sure, but it also takes the determination and absolute conviction that you are a gifted artist. Not to mention his delusional point of view. The average talentless millionaire would defer to professionals. He wouldn't compromise on his insane vision.
