Five years ago Steve Delahoyde introduced me to The Room, making him incredibly hip and way ahead of the curve. When I moved to L.A. I went to see it at Midnight in a packed theatre feeling I was way behind the curve. Now the movie is shown in four theatres and you have to show up an hour and a half early to get into one of those theatres. It’s worth it, but I liked it back when I thought it had gone commercial, before it went commercial. Anywho, for those unfamiliar with The Room, here’s a good taste of everything that’s good about it. And here. If you’re into cult movies, give it a shot, if not, then skip this link to a site that had an awesome idea. The Room trading cards. And for fans and Jessi, isn’t The Room, the greatest most generic title you can give a bad movie? It’s really just a fine fine icing on the ultimate turd cake.

“The greatest most generic title you can give a bad movie?”
Maybe. But see also the most recent stop on Robert de Niro’s road trip to total irrelevance, “Everybody’s Fine.”
So funny you mentioned that as we do a rant to that effect in the December movie preview for The Movie Guys, Steve’s assertion being that somewhere between The Road, The Box, It’s Comlicated, Nine, and Everybodys Fine – Hollywood has clearly fired the guy that comes up with the creative titles.
Cheep cheep cheep!
I’ve never met anyone who has ever seen this movie besides me. Worst acting EVER, yet SO entertaining
