Or Star Wars. Darth Vader: "Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father." Luke: "He told me enough. He told me you killed him." Darth Vader: "No. I am your father." Luke: "No. That's not true. You're tearing me apart, Vader!"
"I could summarize this movie in probably about three or four... sentences.": Oh hi mark I don't love Johnny You're tearing me apart Lisa I'm fed up wid dis werlt
It all makes sense... that scene where Lisa and her mother is yelling at Denny is actually Tommy Wiseau yelling at himself for his past crimes. True brilliance!
If Tommy Wiseau directed/created Avatar: The Last Airbender: Ozai: Come on out, Avatar! You can't hide in there forever! Aang: In a few minutes, bitch.
I originally watched The Room completely on accident, thinking it would be a horror movie based on the poster... One of those rare, wonderful mistakes.
The football was a really talented actor though. It acts as a football all throughout the movie, and I was thoroughly convinced that it was. Deserves Oscar.
+Ecléctico Iconoclasta The spoon and the football are really deep, compelling characters, but I think the red dress blew it out of the water in what has to be one of the best initial roles in cinema history.
Peeta: What happened to your father? Katniss: He died in a mining accident when I was twelve. Ever since that day, my mother fell into deep depression and I had to become the head of our family since I needed to take care of her and my little sister Prim. Peeta: (Laughs) What a story, Katniss. Katniss: Yeah, you can say that again.
TheLionKingSimbaFan That is awesome. I wonder what the first line would be. We open with all these dramatic shots of District Twelve, Katniss shooting random prey, and it all ends with her coming home. Katniss: "HAI PRIM. I shot something for youuuu~"
Peeta: Our mentor is supposed to tell us how to get sponsors and give us advice. Haymitch: I cannot tell you that, it’s confidential. Peeta: Oh, come on, why not? Haymitch: No, I can’t. Anyway, how’s your sex-life?
He should be in the Titanic. Starring as...The Titanic. You're tearing me apart, iceberg! I did not hit it, I did naht! Oh I'm unsinkable? It seems to me that you are the expert!
It's like Tommy Wiseau came here from another planet, lived on earth for a week and wrote a script based on his limited understanding of humans and from watching too much daytime television. He really thought the humans would like his film. Bless him.
THANK YOU!! I've been saying this for years now! I don't get why there's not more of us out there insisting upon this lol. Like, joking aside, he literally seems to have absolutely no idea how humans work/think/act.. really just oblivious to the human condition in general. No one knows his background of where he got his money..and just watching his work, you can clearly tell as you said, basically, he spent no more than a week around humans. I think he's the strongest evidence yet that there is alien life out there.. and that it's here among us lol. Like, I'm kind of joking.. but at the same time.. for real.. if aliens have been earth/are here(because there's no question whether or not there's life/intelligent life out there; the probability of there not being any , is almost infinitely minuscule) then Tommy is 100%, most definitely one of them.
@@ldawg7117 you are so right hey. When I look at Tommy Wiseau i think " i want to believe" like Fox Mulder. Have you read the disaster artist ? Wiseau is totally eother an alien or a vampire. 👽👽👽
What connects most of the pointless scenes is the football. Perhaps the true point of the story is that the football becomes an actual person, because everyone that uses it is less real than it is.
Andrew Herrera Football: In truth Andrew, I really don't know if life is something that can be understood. I was just given life and it seems like something I'll only understand when it's over. -this...or something close to it, should have been the movie
Stumbled upon this guy’s channel. Slowly reading and laughing at everyone’s comments and moment I get to yours this scene happens. Impeccable timing!!! 😆
I'd highly recommend the book written by the actor who played Mark (Greg Sestero), called "The Disaster Artist", not only do you get to see the inner workings of The Room, but it's actually an extremely interesting story on its own.
wait wait wait... So... this guy made 6 million dollars from selling jackets. He then thought he would make a film?! He blew all the money on this!? WTF!?
If tommy wiseau directed Terminator 2 Terminator: Miles Dyson creates Skynet. Skynet launches nukes and destroys all of America. Sarah Connor: Haha! What a story, Arnold!
Chapter 20 Lisa have sex with mark and mark keeps saying that is his best friend. Chapter 34 mark forgets he had sex with Lisa. Chapter 45 Johnny walking down the street
Chapter Five: Lisa Eats Her Lunch Chapter Nine: Johnny Sits In A Chair Chapter Fourteen: Mark Takes A Shit Chapter Seventeen: Tuxedo Football Chapter Twenty-One: Lisa Opens A Jar Chapter Twenty-Three: Denny Pisses In The Toilet Chapter Thirty: Mark Finds His Stupid Comments In His Pocket
Greg Sesteros, who plays Mark and was line producer and friend of Tommy Wiseneau, wrote a book called "The Disaster Artist:My Life Inside The Room". If you've seen this movie, you NEED the book! Preferably the audio book, as Sesteros does a dead on perfect Tommy Wiseneau impersonation all the way through it. And after the book, watch it again. Puts what is on the screen into some sort of context AND adds a lot more questions. MAN do I love this movie!!!
I am *SO* glad that somebody *finally* mentioned the line, "We're probably gonna have a baby eventually anyway!" This line has always been one of my favourites in terms of complete inanity, and yet strangely, it's never mentioned in a lot of the Room reviews that I see. People pay so much attention to the "Oh hai Mark", "Hai doggie", and "You're tearing me a-*PART*" classics, that little gems like these end up glossed over. Why? It's so hilariously dumb, and this guy couldn't have said it better. "No, you're *not*, because you *just* said that you're planning to *tell* him that you've been cheating on him." It's made even funnier by Lisa saying it so defensively, as if perhaps it's a logical explanation. At last, it's gotten the slam that it deserves. Good job dude! :)
RedWolf316 He paid theaters to show it out of his own pocket. He needed it to be shown for two weeks, the minimum for consideration for an Oscar. He then submitted this movie to the Academy. No kidding.
RedWolf316 He genuinely believed this was worthy of Best Picture, Best Script, Best Lead Actor, etcetera. Dan Janjigan deserves an Oscar for his role, I will admit.
+RedWolf316 Supposedly the story is Tommy Wiseau was inspired by "The incredibly talented Mr. Ripley" and this was supposed to be his version of that film. He met the actor who plays Mark in the film in acting class and asked him to play that part after already shooting 2/3 of the film and firing the previous actor who had played Mark. This actor who ended up playing Mark actually wrote a book about the experience of working with him on the film called "Disaster Artist". James Franco bought the rights and is adapting a screen version of it in which he himself will produce, direct, and play Tommy...
One would hope that was the case but sadly Wiseau was hella serious about it and thought others would love it and take it just as seriously as he did. It turned out to be the best/worst thing and he became legendary but for all the wrong reasons.
Well, apparently Tommy tried to pass this shlock for a black comedy when everyone laughed at the film, but originally he seemed dead serious about the dramatic aspects of the film.
Entertaining review, but for fans of the film (me included) it's worth mentioning how this is one of those rare films that is SO BAD it's good. Or at least, entertaining. In a good comedy film you don't go more than a few minutes without laughing, and that's what happens with The Room as well, even if the laughs are unintentional. Most bad movies are just forgettable and boring...Two words you just can't use with The Room!
After seeing this review and the footage/clips I honestly can't see the appeal behind the film. It's only famous because of one scene on a rooftop for fuck sake.
I've read that Tommy has never told anyone his age, yet it's quite obvious he's in his 50's. I honestly think he's a bit delusional and thinks he fits in with a bunch of college age kids. It's quite sad really. This brings me to the whole football thing. It would make sense to me that Tommy's idea of young American men was molded when he was young, while watching American television and seeing men play football. He associates this with youth and it plays into his delusions. He has some very troubling issues. I would not want to be inside his mind.
Oops.. I made a really shitty movie and now everyone is making fun of me, what should I do?... I know.. I'll call it a dark comedy and say I made it shitty on purpose... Then hipsters will come along and say they got it and defend my movie for me online…
Amelia Bee Oh come on! Who WOULDN'T bust out laughing when he heard a story about a woman being hospitalized? (Anyone with some goddamn common sense, perhaps.)
You know something I just realized? The story would have been SLIGHTLY more tolerable if either: 1) Lisa was cheating on Johnny if he were abusive....or they were having a huge fight. But as weird as Johnny is, Lisa is only cheating on him because "He's so...boring." It wouldn't excuse the cheating, but there would have been a legit reason for it, and it would make Lisa look like less of a bitch. 2) Mark was the main focus. You could show him actually falling in love with Lisa, but conflicted because she's Johnny's fiance. Maybe he starts to say no to her more and more often until he decides at the party to never speak to Lisa again. That way, Johnny is only a secondary character and never overstays his welcome, and Mark actually goes through some real character development instead of just looking like a twit that can never take a hint. None of it will save the acting or cinematography though.
Here's how it could take up 500 pages: 'WHY LISA? WHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY..................
He didn't buy a camera for the movie. He bought TWO!! One 35mm camera and a HD Digital camera. which he thought would be the way future films would be shot only to end up using absolutely no footage from the HD camera on the movie. Source: The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero.
the best part is at the end when mark sees johnny with a hole in his head and a giant pool of blood and starts shaking him and yelling "wake up!" who the fuck wrote this? oh yeah, tommy wiseau.
Tommy Wiseau has made $5 million :o that's more than most of us have made and enough to let you live the rest of your life comfortably without ever doing anything again. Damn, he is from now on a role model of mine.
He's made more than that! The entire budget of 6 million was completely self-financed from Wiseau himself where he bought two cameras: an HD-cam and a 35mm they filmed with simultaneously.. He became rich through selling branded clothes by himself. Recommend reading the book; it's hilarious
Tornado1994 Nah I think the book said he was born in the old Soviet Union and managed to immigrate to France before getting to the United States. His real name is a mystery. Wiseau is a version of 'Oseau' that I think means bird in french since he made a living in France selling toy birds or something and people called him that. The man is a complete mystery, therefore the book is ingenious.
You totally need to read Greg Sestero's "The Disaster Artist," which goes into detail about the making of the film. For example, Tommy's outfit in the rooftop scene? Turns out, he got impatient waiting for the costume person to help him, so he just took a random blue blazer off the coat rack and acted out the scene in his street clothes. The costume designer was actually quite horrified by this choice when she eventually showed up.
Also the original actress who played Lisa was only about 3 years younger than Tommy. But her Belgian accent was so unintelligible, that Tommy was forced to recast her.
Chapter 1 - Lisa, You So Beautiful Chapter 2 - Oh, Hi Mark! Chapter 3 - That Damn Kid Denny Chapter 4 - Hi Doggie! Chapter 5 - Mom Has Cance- Hey, Look! A Cloud!!
Wow. You finally reviewed "The Room". I can say my life is complete now. This is by far my favorite bad movie. So much that I have a "Oh hai mark" shirt, and put actual energy into meeting Tommy. If you knew me, you'd understand how ambitious that is (I'm lazy as hell). My fiance is one of those folks who don't understand the humor that surrounds shitty movies, but this one is so bad, she actually sat and watched it with me, and laughed at all its horribleness. That's how "good" it is. I love to attach my own illusion of depth to scenes. Like Denny being a con artist who just looks like a kid, and takes advantage of Johnny. It's so bland and ridiculus, it's like a blank sheet of paper that you can write whatever you want onto it. Good review dude.
I could summarize this movie in a few lines... "Oh hi Mark" "Johnnys my best friend" "Anyway, how's your sex life?" "I did nawht hit her" " *ha ha ha* What a story Mark." "I love you" "I don't love Johnny" "Your tearing me apart Lisa!" "I fed uap wit dis wourld!" Oh and random sex scenes... and Football scenes.
I can't get enough of these "Bad Movies!" reviews. Please make LOTS more of them for us. Seriously, I've watched this review of The Room at least 20 times now! And I've seen all your other reviews too, but there's simply not enough of them! Please make some more for us, eh?
I’ve talked to Tommy a lot over the years, when he screens the film in L.A. .the screening are a lot of fun ., like a Rocky Horror Picture Show type thing. People shout out the lines, throw plastic spoons in the air at certain moments. He’s actually a very nice guy, kinda quiet and humble . Weird I know , I like the guy
If I made 6 million dollars importing leather jackets I'd probably ditch the idea of being a filmmaker and just import leather jackets for a living.
he wasn't just selling black leather, no, he must've been selling ivory on the side.

+Stefan Travis maybe the horror scenes were in the 500 page book

well its kind of a horror movie. It shows the murder of the artform of cinema
it's so amazing that it's all genres at once anyway how's your sex life?.
Similar story happened to me with "Escaped from Tomorrow". I thought it would show the evil side of Disney...

it takes a lot of time to somehow emphasize every single syllable the wrong way

WOW, you mean the "I did Knat hit her I did Knat, Oh hi Mark" !!! scene ?
kicksoffs Mhm.
This scene was also meant to have a flying vampire car in it
I'd highly recommend the book written by the actor who played Mark (Greg Sestero), called "The Disaster Artist", not only do you get to see the inner workings of The Room, but it's actually an extremely interesting story on its own.
***** They're doing that. James Franco is directing the film and starring as Tommy Wiseau.
***** Yeah me too, Franco's brother Dave will be playing Mark, he looks nothing like him but at least they are using a good actor for the role.

Because Tommy wants to see someone else play him? I dunno.

@@anikmonette2140 there's nothing funnier than a total lack of self awareness.
Now just imagine Wiseau making the next Star Wars movie....
hahaha what a story mark !
Oh hi Luke.
"The Star War would have been a dream"
Exact words from Tommy's twitter. Exact.
Tommy Wiseau for President !
"It appears you killed her out of your anger". "I did not hit her, it's not true. I did not hit her."
7:44
You are tearing me apart Lisa!
LMFAO This is my new ring tone.
+88Keyz102 I hope there is someone in your life called Lisa. That would make your ringtone even better
Entertaining review, but for fans of the film (me included) it's worth mentioning how this is one of those rare films that is SO BAD it's good. Or at least, entertaining. In a good comedy film you don't go more than a few minutes without laughing, and that's what happens with The Room as well, even if the laughs are unintentional. Most bad movies are just forgettable and boring...Two words you just can't use with The Room!
I had same unintentional laugh while watching Insidious 2, that was some hillariously bad movie. And it was supposed to be horor !!!!
After seeing this review and the footage/clips I honestly can't see the appeal behind the film. It's only famous because of one scene on a rooftop for fuck sake.
***** anyway, how's your sex life?
Brad Hansen it's true it's the ultimate so bad it's good movie
"In a few minutes bitch." 😂😂😂
"Yu ah lying, I neva hit chew!"
You a telinh me apat lisa :)))
When an ad for The Disaster Artist appears before this 😂
I've read that Tommy has never told anyone his age, yet it's quite obvious he's in his 50's. I honestly think he's a bit delusional and thinks he fits in with a bunch of college age kids. It's quite sad really.
This brings me to the whole football thing. It would make sense to me that Tommy's idea of young American men was molded when he was young, while watching American television and seeing men play football. He associates this with youth and it plays into his delusions. He has some very troubling issues. I would not want to be inside his mind.
What a great story Justin!
Elesa ™ Thanks :) I may be wrong, but that's my take. It's so strange to me that he thinks he fits in with 20-30 year olds.
+Justin Hopkins I think its true. He looks delusunal ( Cant spell). The Room looks like a mishmash of fantasies.
Elesa ™ Lol, it does. Or nightmares! Just creepy all around.
+Justin Hopkins Haha, what a story Justin.
Oops.. I made a really shitty movie and now everyone is making fun of me, what should I do?... I know.. I'll call it a dark comedy and say I made it shitty on purpose... Then hipsters will come along and say they got it and defend my movie for me online…
Have you seen his TV show?
What a waste of 6 million dollars.
HOW MUCH? That's not even funny.
A waste??? This film's a cult classic
***** With 6 million dollars? Yeah, I bet he can.
Alex Mikayelyan I don't think I could live in a reality without The Room
***** I dunno man, such compelling lines as "Hi doggy" and "You're tearing me apart Lisa" look really hard to pull off.
I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and guess that Tommy Wiseau has a teeeeensy bit of a problem with women. xD
I do naht! That's not true! I do NAHT!
Keep your stupid comments in your pocket!!
Haha what a great story Kendrick
Tommy Wiseau Oh hi Tommy.
Amelia Bee Oh come on! Who WOULDN'T bust out laughing when he heard a story about a woman being hospitalized?
(Anyone with some goddamn common sense, perhaps.)
You know something I just realized? The story would have been SLIGHTLY more tolerable if either:
1) Lisa was cheating on Johnny if he were abusive....or they were having a huge fight. But as weird as Johnny is, Lisa is only cheating on him because "He's so...boring." It wouldn't excuse the cheating, but there would have been a legit reason for it, and it would make Lisa look like less of a bitch.
2) Mark was the main focus. You could show him actually falling in love with Lisa, but conflicted because she's Johnny's fiance. Maybe he starts to say no to her more and more often until he decides at the party to never speak to Lisa again. That way, Johnny is only a secondary character and never overstays his welcome, and Mark actually goes through some real character development instead of just looking like a twit that can never take a hint.
None of it will save the acting or cinematography though.
***** If it was a better movie, nobody would watch it, because love-triangle melodramas are horrible and boring.
Here's how it could take up 500 pages: 'WHY LISA? WHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY..................
He didn't buy a camera for the movie. He bought TWO!! One 35mm camera and a HD Digital camera. which he thought would be the way future films would be shot only to end up using absolutely no footage from the HD camera on the movie. Source: The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero.
Omg, that is such as waste of production resources man i swear....
the best part is at the end when mark sees johnny with a hole in his head and a giant pool of blood and starts shaking him and yelling "wake up!" who the fuck wrote this? oh yeah, tommy wiseau.
The thing is Lisa yells the same thing.
i laughed when he killed himself. for any other movie that would be sick, but this is the room.
oh hai mark
Then Denny yells "Tommy!" instead of Johnny.
Tommy Wiseau has made $5 million :o that's more than most of us have made and enough to let you live the rest of your life comfortably without ever doing anything again. Damn, he is from now on a role model of mine.
He's made more than that! The entire budget of 6 million was completely self-financed from Wiseau himself where he bought two cameras: an HD-cam and a 35mm they filmed with simultaneously.. He became rich through selling branded clothes by himself. Recommend reading the book; it's hilarious
HrTjernobyl He's Belgian and was born in 1959.
Tornado1994 Nah I think the book said he was born in the old Soviet Union and managed to immigrate to France before getting to the United States. His real name is a mystery. Wiseau is a version of 'Oseau' that I think means bird in french since he made a living in France selling toy birds or something and people called him that. The man is a complete mystery, therefore the book is ingenious.
"Making" $5 million doesn't mean he ever had it all at one time.
9:00 "You look great you luh...Baby face..ughh" simply oscar worthy.
Hahahahaha this comment killed me
Lisa is *not* Johnny's fiancee. She's Johnny's future wife :(
Indi Sugar Taufik That's what a fianceé/fiance is.
Yeah
DO you know what fiencee means????????????????? OMG
Y'all don't understand jokes do ya 😂
Umm watch the movie people then you would understand Indi's comment
Reshooting the Chris-R scene = $80,000 US
The funniest part is that he gives 3 characters variations of the same name. Lisa, Elizabeth, and Betty. Lisa and Betty are nicknames for Elizabeth.
I did not unsubscribe, I did not. Oh, hi Mark.
''oh no not the props those cost 6 million dollars''
I could not stop laughing at that part XD
This movie is in a weird way, one of my favorite movies of all time!
9:32 that multiple choice question was really hard to answer XD
"YOU'RE A LION, I NEVA HIT'CHUUU!"
"WAI WAIII WAAAAIIIIII?!"
"I DID NOT HIT HEUR, I DIDN'T, EETS BULLSHIET!! AY DEED NAAAHT! o'hay murk!"
Mom: I just found out I'm dying from cancer.
Lisa: You think that's bad? I stood on a Lego block a few months ago!
+DonkHorse *Four paramedics burst in to put Lisa on a gurney*
why's it even called "the room"?
Because love is blind.
wut
It's a line Tommy Wiseau says in the film.
what was it
there are rooms in it.
Wow just look at that poster for "The Room." (you see it from the very start)
If that face doesn't scream bad, I don't know what does.
How did they manage to make sex boring??? o_O
i'd hardly describe bellybutton fucking as "boring"
ryan chatterjee i would...
belly button sex is not for everyone.
Duane Locsin right...
i think Tommy Wiseau was an alien and this is how he thought humans reproduced.
Jokes aside, that money deal IS a serious question.
Aww you didn't talk about the flower shop scene. Classic bad.
I have watched several reviews of The Room, but I still cannot stop laughing at the part where Johnny sodomized Lisa's dress.
me too, so odd that is hilarious XD
Cheep cheep cheep cheeeeeeep cheeeeeeeeep!
You just a little chicken
I'd fed up wit this wurld dey betrayed me and I don't care
"What in gods name was that? Because was everything except a chicken"- I hate everything.
Nobody poorly imitates my favorite farm animal
i think the big surprise is that it has a 33% on rotten tomatoes. like, who liked this movie?!
9:11 OMG I was dying at that part 😂
This comment is fucked up 😂
Bailie Boo Check the timestamp
Despite all flaws that this film has, I really like its atmosphere
That is true.
+Bakdaulet Baitan oh, that 'party of five' vibe.. Lol
Well, I would suggest filling your home with pictures of spoons, and it's pretty much the same atmosphere.
I agree it’s like a demented dream. The lines are fragmented and make zero sense.
You totally need to read Greg Sestero's "The Disaster Artist," which goes into detail about the making of the film. For example, Tommy's outfit in the rooftop scene? Turns out, he got impatient waiting for the costume person to help him, so he just took a random blue blazer off the coat rack and acted out the scene in his street clothes. The costume designer was actually quite horrified by this choice when she eventually showed up.
Also the original actress who played Lisa was only about 3 years younger than Tommy. But her Belgian accent was so unintelligible, that Tommy was forced to recast her.
you can come out now Johnny, she's gone...."in a few minutes, Bitch." lol
Actually, the camera crew had to stop filming that scene so they could laugh. Lol
YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LISA!!!!
Chapter 1 - Lisa, You So Beautiful
Chapter 2 - Oh, Hi Mark!
Chapter 3 - That Damn Kid Denny
Chapter 4 - Hi Doggie!
Chapter 5 - Mom Has Cance- Hey, Look! A Cloud!!
I'm guessing this made sense to me a year ago because... I don't get my own references.
Wow. You finally reviewed "The Room". I can say my life is complete now.
This is by far my favorite bad movie. So much that I have a "Oh hai mark" shirt, and put actual energy into meeting Tommy. If you knew me, you'd understand how ambitious that is (I'm lazy as hell).
My fiance is one of those folks who don't understand the humor that surrounds shitty movies, but this one is so bad, she actually sat and watched it with me, and laughed at all its horribleness. That's how "good" it is. I love to attach my own illusion of depth to scenes. Like Denny being a con artist who just looks like a kid, and takes advantage of Johnny. It's so bland and ridiculus, it's like a blank sheet of paper that you can write whatever you want onto it.
Good review dude.
Of course denny loses his mind. I payed his tuition.
Great Arrested Development reference 5/5 for that lol
The real question is, how many downers did Wiseau pop before each take?
Mumble mumble " yoo look grate " mumble mumble " baby face..."
You'd atleast think Wiseau would promote this thing properly. But no, the poster makes it seem like a shitty horror movie
this movie is very horrific.
I love your profile picture man!!!
+Samuli Hynninen That's pretty much what The Room has ended up being!
The line "what kind of drugs do you take" would be great if finished off with "I want some" or "where you get them"
Main character's face looks like a crumpled up paper bag
Mark is the best youtuber that has ever youtubed
Love the Arrested Development reference!
I could summarize this movie in a few lines...
"Oh hi Mark"
"Johnnys my best friend"
"Anyway, how's your sex life?"
"I did nawht hit her"
" *ha ha ha* What a story Mark."
"I love you"
"I don't love Johnny"
"Your tearing me apart Lisa!"
"I fed uap wit dis wourld!"
Oh and random sex scenes...
and Football scenes.
still a better love story then Twilight
I actually made it a game to count how many times each character sits then stands then sits again in a scene.
6:14 This line made me want to see the movie. It's just so terrible. xD
Mine was "YOU ARE TEARING ME APART, LISA!"
I can't get enough of these "Bad Movies!" reviews.
Please make LOTS more of them for us.
Seriously, I've watched this review of The Room at least 20 times now!
And I've seen all your other reviews too,
but there's simply not enough of them!
Please make some more for us, eh?
I've heard that they still play this at theaters at midnight just like they do with Rocky Horror.
I instantly thought of the arrested development chicken impersonations. I love that you clipped them in this video! Haha
*The big question is...where did a beet-farmer from Poland acquire the 6million dollars to make this schlock....leather jackets I don't buy it???*
I was waiting for that AD reference. 😂
I’ve talked to Tommy a lot over the years, when he screens the film in L.A. .the screening are a lot of fun ., like a Rocky Horror Picture Show type thing. People shout out the lines, throw plastic spoons in the air at certain moments. He’s actually a very nice guy, kinda quiet and humble . Weird I know , I like the guy
I'm so glad you made the arrested development comparison. That's exactly what I was thinking.
