The sex sounds not matching what is onscreen is a nice touch.

They must have been forced to overdub that. Yikes

Fourth sex scene (Lisa/Mark) over.

Same shot as the open with the USPS truck?

Guys hit me up if you ever want to go play football and jog in poorly-suited clothing.

If you're wondering what ever happens with the mom having breast cancer, you'll never know.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 9:39 pm

Mark kinda looks like Dennis.

rass · Post by **rass** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 9:40 pm

Where’s Peter??

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 9:40 pm

This seems risky.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 9:42 pm

Another character who shows up and starts talking with absolutely no explanation who they are.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 9:43 pm

The guy who caught them making out I think is just some crazy guy who wandered on the set and nobody caught on.

I should have reread the book the past couple weeks. Some of this is explained.

Just gotta finish riding the dragon at this point.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 9:45 pm

Her girlfriend did a complete 180.

Plus 180

This house is where 90% of the movie takes place and I can't figure out where the rooms are in relation to each other.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 9:50 pm

He finally has the evidence!

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 9:51 pm

Lisa's hot.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 9:51 pm

Damn, that's a durable cassette player.

Sometimes the front doors leads to an alley. Sometimes, a terrace.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 9:53 pm

The TV is a symbol of their relationship so that's why he destroyed it.

rass · Post by **rass** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 9:53 pm

So the point of the football scenes were to establish the alley so we recognized where the TV landed.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 9:54 pm

Without sarcasm and hyperbole one of the greatest death scenes in cinematic history.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 9:55 pm

I've had worse ends to birthday parties.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 9:57 pm

So yeah, that's The Room.

rass · Post by **rass** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 9:57 pm

One shot of him keeping Chris R’s gun and this whole thing works so much better.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 10:00 pm

I think the metaphors that people try to apply to this movie don't always make sense. If you assume there's a "perfect movie" -- maybe The Godfather Part II or No Country For Old Men or whatever you perceive that to be -- then there has to be an "unperfect movie" and for me that's The Room.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 10:01 pm

It's like one of those puzzles your aunt posts on Facebook with a whole paragraph that's only vowels and you can parse out what it is because your brain is smart enough to figure it out. That's The Room.

rass · Post by **rass** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 10:01 pm

Thanks for finally making that happen Brian.

And i would really recommend the Disaster Artist (book) to anyone who was fascinated by that.

Haven’t seen the movie but promised my wife we would watch if she stayed up for this. First Swamp movie she made it all the way through.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 10:01 pm

Tommy Wiseau might also legitimately be an alien. After the last four years or so I'll believe anything at this point. If an alien made a movie it would be The Room.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 10:03 pm

It's almost so misogynistic you have to laugh at it also. If it were somehow less misogynistic it would be offensive. It's somehow so offensive it's not offensive.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 30, 2020 10:06 pm

Anyway, thanks for giving me an excuse to laugh tonight. You guys and The Room came through for me again. Today is the birthday of my friend who went missing earlier this year and is presumed dead. I needed a distraction from not only a pandemic but that.

She didn't recognize her favourite customer?

Now that you've seen the movie, you should read "The Disaster Artist"

While nothing could be as bizarre as the movie, the behind the scenes stuff comes pretty close.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Fri May 01, 2020 7:48 am

I'm really glad I watched it. Can't wait to check both the book and movie versions of The Disaster Artist.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Fri May 01, 2020 9:37 am

Hey brian, there's a Spinal Tap-style "Where Are They Now?" mockumentary series on YouTube with some of the actors that's actually pretty decent.

Notable takeaway is that most of the actors aren't actually that bad when given good material.

Post by **brian** » Fri May 01, 2020 9:57 am

I'll have to check that out. First time I made my best friend Chad watch it I think I had accidentally led him to believe it was more of a fucked up David Lynch type movie, so you can imagine his confusion, but once he figured out what was going on, we had a riot.

Generally speaking, the less you know going in, the better.
