Film This Weekend: The Room with Tommy Wiseau Live in Person!
Posted by David Schmader on Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 2:03 PM
Screenings of the legendarily awful green-screen drama The Room aren't rare—Central Cinema hosts one every month and it's always a howling blowout.
But screenings of the legandarily awful green-screen drama The Room with writer-director-star Tommy Wiseau in attendance are indeed rare, and this weekend brings two of them, both at midnight at the Egyptian.
For tickets, click the Egyptian link above.
For proof of why attending at least three public screenings of The Room over the course of your life is a must, watch the clip below. It's short, but will give you the proper idea.
And for info on the Room-themed party going down tomorrow night at HG Lodge—with actor Greg Sestero in attendance!—watch this Room-flower-shop-scene-parodying video.

Two comments:
First, you neglected to mention that Wiseau also PRODUCED the film, or as the gentlemen from Rifftrax say "The poor schmuck wasn't smart enough to spread the blame..."
Second, that flower shop scene? At a typical The Room screenings they replay the scene at least 3 times, just so you can absorb the awsome(ful)ness.

@2 Honestly, there's just no way someone else could have produced it, because clearly, IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN MADE.
Almost as good as the movie is watching the QA with Wiseau in the DVD extras- The man is clearly crazy; Some tidbit include the fact that he filmed the entire thing in 2 formats because he couldn't figure out which camera to buy in the first place, and he refuses to answer any questions about how exactly he came up with the multi-million dollars for the film... legal or otherwise.

Another great quote from Rifftrax: "What do you think his native language is, Pidgin Esperanto?"...also, since i introduced my friends to it a few years back, everyone says hello like "OH HAIII".
