Thread Name: BS: the new Worst movie of ALL time
Subject: BS: the new Worst movie of ALL time
...is: "The Room"

Yes, it has dethroned ancient turkeys like "Plan Nine from Outer Space" and "The Beast of Yucca Flats" and "The Giant Claw". Why? Well, because the room is in a whole different class of film, that's why. It's an art film...or at least it was meant to be.

Written, acted, directed, produced by, and STARRING Tommy Wiseau...a very weird European man with a Howard Stern-like hairdo and an unidentifiable accent, The Room attempts to say something really deep and serious about the human heart. Oh, yeah! You have to see it. There's nothing else like it. It's extraordinary in its awfullness and its unintentional funniness. It's one of a kind. Nothing else can ever match it.

And reading the reviews on IMDB.com is a riot. Here's one of them:

"This is easily the worst movie i have ever seen. Having said that, this is the best movie i have seen in quite some time. i nearly defecated just struggling to concentrate on the story???? as i cried with laughter. Before i go any further i feel that i must mention that this movie cost the director SIX MILLION DOLLARS.......

To begin, the sexual intercourse scenes are so perfectly timed with the awful r&b music that her climax and repetition of the fine director's buttocks only increase with the crescendo of the music itself. The camera angle through the waterfall is particularly excellent. I also feel that the amount of lines about how beautiful Lisa is has most to do with the fact that she is not in fact beautiful.

One of the better traits this movie has to offer is the uncanny ability for every character to immediately explode in anger and then forgive everyone around them. Apparently every character has taken a bit too many steroids and do not know how to control there hormone levels at all. When we do find any conflict the subject is completely swept under the rug and then they have sex. Its like a mixture between a frat party and the real world and confused Asian tourists all combined to create the personality of this cast, then it was filmed. Also i feel that i have to mention that the old lady had breast cancer. This too was immediately forgotten along with the fact that Denny had some sever drug issues. Which in the words of our dear friend Johnny "hey, that's life".

The intense camera angles and beautiful transition scenes were particularly clever because they only added to the confusion of what this movie was about. To add more confusion, they reused cut scenes and added characters without even telling us who they were, this too was very clever and cost efficient.

Toward the end of the movie it really got good. Finally the two men fought over the cheating woman. They made up immediately. Then they fought again, Johnny walked away, and with a brilliant cinematic performance by the director/actor/cheap leather coat from Korea salesman, he trashed the set, touched himself violently but sexually with Lisa's dress and shot himself in the mouth.

words will never explain this movie, YOU MUST WATCH THIS
