Yeah, I really need to see this. I've read all the articles on it and between that and these clips, the hype for this film has risen to fever pitch in my private mindgarden. My wife has no interest in shit like this, so if anyone's starting up a viewing party in Chicago, holler at your boy.
Your wife will be MESMERIZED. Don't let the "it's so bad it's good" tag mislead her.

And trust me, your mindgarden ain't readee.
I don't know. I'm not like a giant LOLcat fan, but I chuckle at them. I showed her some and she was not getting it. "That's what they're saying? Why is it all misspelled?" Totally overthinking it.
She can be in the room when I watch it, but there's gotta be other people there. If she doesn't appreciate it, she'll have to step to the side and let me drink it in.
The thing is: if you like films and you have even the most basic understanding of storytelling, "The Room" is incredible because it violates the most basic logic of all those rules. It's the cinematic equivalent of walking on water.
For real, the people I know who like the film the best are involved in filmmaking. They treat "The Room" as this holy grail train wreck. ("Trolls 2" is often mentioned in the same breath on the same level).

I went to film school, so that's part of why I'm so excited to see it. "Crossing the 180 degree line" is no doubt the least of dude's infractions.
My wife gets the "so bad it's good" thing in theory, but in practice I don't think she enjoys shit that way. The mysterious appearance of new characters is more likely to confuse rather than amuse. She's not really a big film person in general. She's always bored to tears when I get indie/arthouse films from Netflix. We watched Tropic Thunder on Saturday (a rare movie watching opportunity for me) and those fake trailer things at the beginning had her befuddled for like 5 minutes after the "real movie" began.
However, my hope is that The Room is so transcendent that it will open up this whole new world for her.
Not to overanalyze it, but whats the deal with her pregnancy too? She told him that to make it more "interesting?" So she's just vindictive because....he's so boring??
IT JUST MAKES NO SENSE!
This movie is awesome becuase every character talks in Tommy Wiseau's voice.
"And I think that if you see The Room, it is going to open doors that you don???t want to have open, or it may give you a little red flag, like , that TWO IS BETTER THAN THREE. Right? You know what I???m saying?"
We have people coming up to us and ??? don???t put this in your article, but just off the record, we have people come to me and say ???Oh its a black comedy! How many black people do you have in there???? and I say ???No!???
she sprung some romantic comedy on me after i told her i would change my netflix password if something came in that i didn't like so this is revenge. i'm guessing alcohol would go well with this movie?

Are they running it all day? If I had known this earlier, I would've set the ol' TiVo before I left the house today.

For real.
"I just like to watch."
The dialog in the scene with the tuxedos was incredible...
"You look like a babyface [mumble, mumble]" Shit was hilarious! My 2nd fave scene out of the film.
"Oh, hey Mark."

gigantic
I love when he sneaks out the living room after setting up his phone tap contraption, even though there's nobody home!
I generally hate cult movie nerds though and blame them for ruining big lebowski and monty python for me.
I would probably watch this though.
Oh hey Johnny, I didn't recognize it was you.

Lover. Boy.
I believe Denny mentioned that the wedding photos were going to turn out well, thus explaining the reason for the tuxes.
"Hi doggie!"
That football scene in which the other random dude (chocolate make-out guy with the spiky hair) gets rushed by Mark was laugh out loud funny as well.

No, I don't really know what you are saying.
-Not that kind of black comedy.
No!
-Not literally black people.
lol
You gotta give her some prep - she may not make it past that first lovemaking scene.
can't hurt but it goes amazing well sober.
"Oh mom, you'll be fine!"
