He has acquired the rights to produce and direct the movie version of the book about making The Room. Awesome movie, been a fan of it for years. Own it on Blu Ray. Everyone I show it to thinks it's awful and I try to explain to them but very few people actually get it.

Of course it's awful, man... there's no way around that. That core detail aside, it really is one of my favorite things to do about every 6 months or so: introduce some new folks to it. I've probably seen it 10x now, and each time it's been with somebody who's never seen it. I swear that I notice new little things each time I watch it.

Throw on the subtitles sometime, there is a whole new world of ?!?! in there. Like when Johnny and Mark are playing football in the park, and running up the stairs: some WEIRD dialog in there.

You read the book? Been meaning to pick it up for some time, but am a bit confused by it, as apparently Sestero is buddies with Tommy still: so how true to life can it really be? I mean, if you were gonna blow the lid off the thing, you would think that there would need to be some alienating portions to it.

I'd watch that franco movie.
how much money got spent on drugs to make the room? there's got to be a story there.
Sestero did an AMA a few months ago, some gems in there

"When questioned about plot holes in The Room, Tommy would respond "That's the twist." ???"

a remake of the room should look like this:

I've only ever seen a spoof of The Room... what's the deal with it? Is it actually good, or is one of those things that's so bad it's good?

your world frightens and confuses me

sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my bmw and run off into the hills or whatever.

sometimes when i get a messages on my fax machine, i wonder did little demons get inside and type it? i don't know. my primative mind can't grasp these concepts

Yeah, basically... I'm living in a world of Super Why and Leap Frog videos right now. The newest thing I've watched lately is Doctor Who from 3 years ago. :P

i don't really like matt smith and while amy pond is cute she's kind of BORING

i never thought i'd ever want to see catherine tate more than karen gillan but there you go, great job stephen moffat

JokeyLoki · 02-10-2014, 03:20 PM

I could give less of a crap about Amy, but I love Rory and his badass character developement.

And I like Matt Smith a lot more than I thought I would, after I got attached to Tennant. Smith does "kid in a candy store" very well.

Trotskilicious · 02-10-2014, 04:04 PM

i still think eccleston should have had some of tennant's scripts instead of all the farting aliens

tennant was fun, i was ready to see him go. all the random shouting was starting to wear thin
