Summary: 5 Stars
I'm usually not on board with the "so bad it's good" school of film viewing, but this movie is the rare exception to the rule. I laughed so hard that I was sore the next day. Anyone who loves comedy needs to see this unintentionally hilarious movie.DVD Review: The Greatest Accomplishment Since the Pyramids of Giza
Summary: 5 Stars
The Room is the greatest film ever produced. Writer/director/producer/actor Tommy Wiseau is a jack of all trades visonary genius who could very well be the offspring of Clint Eastwood and Steven Spielberg. Call him the Hitchcock of black comedy, the Orson Welles of symbolism, and the Martin Scorsese of sex scenes. His foresight knows know limits. He will plunder your heart and soul and leave you on the floor, breathless, panting for more of his vivid and penetrating mis-en-scene and astute aural pleasure enchanted with both harmony and discord.
You will call off work the next day. You will find yourself living a life that cannot possibly be real. You will begin questioning metaphysical reality as you find yourself trapped in a void of hate and condemnation. Hate because you did not think of creating The Room first. Condemnation as you relive your past failures.
But while The Room will have you calling into question the insane lament that you now find yourself dangling by, you will elope with your new lover and find solace in it's affair, it's tortuous ownership of your heart. Such is the masochistic nature by which you must now live. But do not fret! You will worship The Room's takeover as a necessary love-hate balance which, in time, you will discover is truly a microcosm of the universe's chaotic beauty. Embrace it, but never coddle it. It is your new mistress.
DVD Review: Changed My Life
Summary: 5 Stars
For weeks after seeing this movie, everything I saw was in a different light. Every time I saw a newspaper or magazine or person on TV, I questioned what I thought knew about them, wondered how they fit into this new view of life. Questions that had puzzled me for years suddenly began making sense in "the room". I reconsidered everyone I knew, everything I thought I'd learned. And I found I didn't have much company...due to the small size of "the room" I was in.
It's taken me two years to write about this movie, not without reason. One terrifying side effect of learning the world isn't the way you think, is that it leaves you all alone in "the room". And when you try to describe your new worldview to people, it either comes out sounding unsurprising or like pure lunacy and people slowly back away.
Ever since then, I've realized that I need to spend my life working to fix the shocking brokenness I'd discovered. And the best way to do that, I concluded, was to try to share what I'd discovered with others, in "the other room". I couldn't just tell them it straight out, I knew, so I had to provide the hard evidence...in that same room. So I started working on "the other room" to do just that.
It's been two years now and my mind has settled down some. I've learned a bunch more but, despite my best efforts, haven't found any problems with this frightening new world view. After all this time, I'm finally ready to talk about what happened with some distance and I hope I'm now able to begin work on my very own "the other room".
DVD Review: Makes Kubrick and Kurosawa look like losers
Summary: 5 Stars
I first heard about 'the room' from a review describing the film as the 'Citizen Kane' of bad films. After buying it on Amazon it became clear to me why Tommy Wiseau has become an international star and why even if he came to my home country of Australia he would be recognized and revered by a small contingent of die-hard fans. The film is so confusing with such awful dialogue that you feel you have been touched by true genius. Pointless subplots and every basic mistake one can make when composing a film such as two cameras of different formats (35 mm and HD)? Why not? A 50 year old mans bare buttocks in the most erotic-less sex scene known to man? After viewing this masterpiece you intuitively know that in 50 years people will still be obsessively watching this movie much like Plan 9. Buy it today for a surreal comedy for the ages DVD Review: The best comedy ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say? First words that come to mind are HOLY *beep* *beep*! Best comedy EVER! It's even better than Troll 2! It's absolutely hilarious! Absolutely everything in the movie is hilarious! Johnny (of course), his always expressionless face, his always expressionless voice, his accent, his laughs, his personality, the dialogue (absolutely hilarious), the absolutely horrible dubbing, the sex scenes, the music in the sex scenes, the friends who like to come to Johnny's appartment in the middle of the day to have sex, how Lisa's mom always come to the appartment for only 3 minutes, how Denny likes to watch Johnny and Lisa having sex, how everyone calls Lisa beautiful or sexy when she's average looking at best, how some characters appear once and we never see them again, how some scenes are supposed to be dramatic and they end up being hilarious, the "football" scenes, etc... etc... etc... Tommy Wiseau is a genius! The problem is that it happened by mistake.
Best lines (Spoilers, of course, but I'm sure that reading them will make you want to see the movie as soon as possible!):
Johnny: You are lying! I never hit you! YOU ARE TEARING ME APART, Lisa!
Johnny: I did not hit her, it's not true! It's bull*beep*! I did not hit her! I did naaat. Oh hi, Mark.
Johnny: Don't touch me maatherfaackuur.
Johnny: You not good, you just a chicken cheep cheep cheep cheep cheeeeep!
Johnny: Hi, doggy!
Johnny: I'd do anything for my guuurrl!
Johnny: That's the idea (he says it like 10 times).
Mark: How was work today?
Johnny: Oh pretty good. We got a new client... at the bank. We make a lot of money.
Mark: What client?
Johnny: I can not tell you, its confidential.
Mark: Oh come on. Why not?
Johnny: No I can't. Anyway, how is your sex life?
Claudette: Well, the results came back - I definitely have breast cancer.
Lisa: Don't worry about it.
Mark: Leave your stupid comments in your pocket!
Johnny: I'm tired, I'm wasted, I love you darling.
Mark: I used to know a girl, she had a dozen guys. One of them found out about it... beat her up so bad she ended up at a hospital on Guerrero Street.
Johnny: Ha ha ha. What a story, Mark.
Johnny: Hey everybody, I have an announcement to make. We're expecting!
Everybody: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Period.
Johnny: Everybody betrayed me! I fed up with this world!
Mark: As far as I'm concerned, you can drop off the Earth. That's a promise.
Lisa: I just wanted to hear your sexy voice. I keep thinking about your strong hands around my body. It excites me so much.
Mike: Chocolate is a symbol of love.
The entire flower shop scene:
Johnny: Hi!
ffs: Can I help you?
Johnny: Yeah, can I have a dozen red roses, please?
ffs: Oh hi, Johnny, I didn't know it was you.
10 seconds later...
Johnny: That's me!
Johnny: How much is it? (his lips don't move)
ffs: It will be 18 dollars.
Johnny gives the money even before she ends the sentence...
Johnny: Here you go. Keep the change.
Johnny looks at a dog...
Johnny: Hi, doggie.
ffs: You're my favorite customer.
Johnny: Thanks a lot. Bye.
You have to see it to believe it!
