To See Or Not To See Film Club. Week #13: The Room

[MoeFOH]

Probably one of the best known craptastic pieces ever, 2003's The Room. So badly popular that it spawned the Hollywood film The Disaster Artist. 

The various spin-offs, etc., and intrigue around this piece and its creator Tommy Wiseau are probably second to none. Both films are worth experiencing... in the craptastic sense of the word . (If you've not seen it, The Disaster Artist is actually a good movie, but you need to watch The Room first, of course). 

Anyhow, if you've seen The Room jump in and comment/quote below. If not, your challenge is to put yourself through it this week and join in the conversation... 

Feel free to PM me suggestions to feature each week

An extraordinary tale about a successful banker who is suddenly thrown into a world of love, betrayal, guardianship, and having to ask the most important question: Can you really trust anyone? 10/10 recommend! 

I've also met Greg Sestero a couple of times, and during a showing of The Room he made two people rage quit in Madden. Cool guy!

Even better than the actual film is the A24/James Franco "The Disaster Artist".

"Oh hey Mark!" 

Worst best or best worst? You be the judge.

I do not regret watching both of these films. If you like bizarre cinema these are a must watch.

There's so many classic lines from this film, it's an easy "must-see", just to enjoy it for how bad it is. And the Disaster Artist is a great watch, detailing what happened behind the scenes.

I mean, to this day no one is sure where Tommy Wiseau comes from or where he got the money to make this movie. A once-in-a-lifetime guy, that's for sure!
