The Room


My good mate Macca was playing a practical joke when he recommended this movie.  Macca has a bit of a fetish for terrible movies.  Before this recommendation came Birdemic, which I must say after a few wines was pretty damn hilarious.  Still can't get that intro out of my head, or that board room clapping scene... wont even mention the sprite birds.

But yes Macca, I watched it, mostly in fast forward after the first 10 minutes.  I can't work out what the hell was going on.  Story summary -  There is no story.  The director (Tommy Wiseau) financed this film in order to star in it and have women randomly drop by "his room" to sleep with him.

Amazing voice and sound dubbing though.. which raised the score a little bit.


1/10

    The Room, now thats something else all together. Probably 2nd behind Birdemic in the 'worst movie of all time' list. Theres some fun facts about this movie:

    - The entire film was re-dubbed (ADR) from English to.....English :D simply because the director, producer, writer & main star Tommy Wiseau wanted everything to be perfect. Instead its 10 times worse

    - The entire film was shot with 2 cameras side by side - a high def & an 8mm because he wasnt sure what he wanted. So every scene is off centre and it often cuts between both styles of film.

    - The movie cost over $8 million to make which, when you watch it, is simply fucking ridiculous. A lot of the movie is shot on a rooftop, but instead of using the San Fran skyline for this, they paid huge money for this massive green screen so they could import a better looking San Fran skyline in.

    Im not sure of the plot as there are that many holes and sub plots which contradict other sub plots or just go nowhere. Its meant to be a serious emotional drama about trust, love & relationships but given how shit it is its turned into a black comedy.
