The Room

Every once in a while, a movie comes out that defines an era... and then there are movies so bad that they are known for how terrible they are. This movie is hands down the funniest thing I've ever heard of. A friend of mine told me about it, and I instantly became obsessed. The Room is a movie that speaks for itself.

You MUST watch these clips before going on:

These three clips engulf most of the "problems" in the movie. For starters, the writing is just terrible. Not only is the story poorly put together, but the dialogue is so bad that you end up with such memorable quotes as, "Leave your stupid comments in your pocket!" Also, due to the fact that the story tries to cover so many problems, many issues that are brought up are never solved. In one scene, the female lead's mother states that she has breast cancer; however, it is never referenced again throughout the entire movie. Another problem is that characters just pop out of no where without any entrance. It is quite humorous, but quite unusual.

This movie is terrible, but it is so bad that there is a cult gathering around the film. Believe it or not, the movie survives due to how terrible it is. People go to see this movie in huge numbers just to make fun of it. Check these clips out:

This phenomenon goes too far, such as people showing up with plastic spoons, due to the fact that there are pictures of utensils all over the movie, and throwing plastic spoons at the screen during certain scenes.

No one is too sure why he wrote, produced, and acted in such a movie.

By the way, this is how I got into the movie:

The guy on the right is one of my friends who is in LA. He attended one of the largest showings in the world. Here he is pictured with the director/lead actor/producer.
