I finally watched this and I now think that no words of mine can do it justice and only the words from the film itself can do that. For those who have watched the film it would be a trip down your cherished memory lane and for those who haven't the following would be reasons why it is criminal not to see this at least once in your lifetime. So here it goes.
*************************************
Mark: How was work today?
Johnny: Oh, pretty good. We got a new client and the bank will make a lot of money.
Mark: What client?
Johnny: I cannot tell you; it's confidential.
Mark: Aw, come on. Why not?
Johnny: No, I can't. Anyway, how is…
"The Room" masterfully written, directed, produced, and starring Tommy Wiseau tells the Shakespearean tragedy of Johnny, a banker who is betrayed by the "love of his life", Lisa. Fueled by powerful performances and flawless directing, "The Room" is a masterpiece in filmmaking that will definetely leave it's audience speechless.
webster's dictionary defines motion picture as a series of pictures projected on a screen in rapid succession with objects shown in successive positions slightly changed so as to produce the optical effect of a continuous picture in which the objects move. but what does it truly mean to create art through filmmaking? to show the beating heart of human emotion, and humanity itself?
this may be the closest we as a species will ever get to true artistic brilliance
I only trust people who rate this move with a full 5 stars or 1/2 stars. Anything between that is not acceptable.
Listen man...this thing is so bad from a technical standpoint (and from every other standpoint) but as James Franco has been saying in every interview, there's something really good about it. I'll just leave it at that.
On an eleventh watch, I realize that Lisa and Claudette talking about breast cancer means that this film technically passes the Bechdel test.
Also, masterpiece.
Tonight I discovered the best way to watch THE ROOM: With someone who has not only never seen it before, but has no idea what it is. Their reactions to the madness, particularly in the early scenes, were absolutely priceless.
Oh hai Letterboxd.
TOP 10 UNDERRATED LINES FROM THE ROOM

when will you fools wake up and realize that the TRUE definitions of cinematography and directing is the fact tommy wiseau wanted this movie shot simultaneously on 35mm and HD film? y'all out here praising kubrick and spielberg and fincher yet those flops wish they could have made this!!!
listen i dont think there is a funnier, more satisfying sentence than a friend saying "ive never seen the room, what is it?" and then hitting that play button with them
