If there was ever a film that was so bad, it's good, this film is it:
The guy with the long hair, Tommy Wiseau, wrote, directed, produced and stared in his debut picture - and all with the 'passion of Tennessee Williams.' Apparently it had always been his dream to create a film such as this, funding it all through illegally selling a huge amount of pirate DVDs. Three separate crews quit three separate times - but, I think you'll agree, they're efforts were not in vain! The film, which he later re-branded as a 'black comedy', now has a cult following. And if you watch these clips, it is not hard to see why.
A few scenes from The Room:
This pretty much sets the tone for the entire film (but it only gets better)
Where the hell would we be without irony, ehy??:
'Oh - hi Mark!'
Denny is taking drugs!
(Observe the fervent hair caressing towards the end of the scene)
'... and I'm dying.'
Liza already ordered a pizza. She thinks of everything.
And possibly the most famous, brilliant triumph of the entire picture:
If you're still watching, here's a hilarious interview with Tommy Wiseau himself:
And the UK 'premiere' of the movie at the Prince Charles Cinema, Soho.
(They show it there every month!)
It's so difficult not to upload more.
All I can say is - Amazing.
Now, time to re-watch Death Becomes Her again.
