You know something's big when it ends up on Yahoo's front page. My little malformed retarded baby is all grown up.

''Within two minutes, I'm like, 'Okay, this is my favorite thing I've ever seen.' I've watched it over and over and over. We've had a lot of fun thinking which character we're going to play when we do our shot-for-shot remake.'' Rudd also showed the film to Veronica Marscreator Rob Thomas, who in turn recommended it to the show's star, Kristen Bell. ''I watched it in my trailer with my mouth agape the entire time,'' she recalls. ''I knew I would never be the same. We tried to reference it on Veronica Mars as much as possible.'' In one example, during a May 2007 episode of the show, a character mentions ''the new Rocky Horror,'' where ''people throw plastic spoons at the screen.''
No idea how I missed that reference.

''When we do a take, and it seems bad, a comment about The Room is often made,'' says Joe Lo Truglio, who played the jolly knight in Role Models, and is yet another fan of The Room. '''Dude, your heart was in the right place, but the acting wasn't. You Roomed it!'''

I finally watched this from Netflix today. Hilarious.
Watching the guys play catch with four of them in a 12 foot space was hysterical
Now, I'm off to see if they are still selling autographed copies on his website

Re: The Room (spoilers!)
The paper I work for is looking to set up a midnight screening of this in Tampa.
Any Bay area 'Room' fans interested in throwing spoons?
I'm also getting to interview Tommy personally. Should be interesting to say the least!

Re: The Room (spoilers!)
I watched this two nights ago (and again last night with the RiffTrax audio).
So... really... is the kid's name Denny? Dinny? Danny? WTF?!
"I did not hit her! I didn't do it! I didn't hit her! I didn't! Oh, hi Mark!"
"Oh, hi Johnny!"

Re: The Room (spoilers!)
I had read about this in Entertainment Weekly over a year ago and finally got around to renting it last week. Wow, it as bad of a train wreck as descibed, actually worse.... words just can't do it justice. Amazingly terrible in so many ways (and funny because of it).

Re: The Room (spoilers!)
My interview with The Room's Tommy Wiseau did not disappoint.
Take a drink every time he says "long story short".

The Rifftrax for this one makes owning the DVD worth it. One of their better efforts though honestly it is shooting fish in a barrel with this disaster.

Re: The Room (spoilers!)
I just saw this film and this is the best worst movie ever. There aren't enough words to describe this movie and Tommy Wisseau. Ed Wood is nothing compare to this dude. The fact that he thinks he has a masterpiece in his hands is what makes this more amusing.

You might want to see it on DVD first, because by now the midnight screening people have turned it into a Rocky Horror kind of experience, so you wouldn't be able to watch the movie without a bajillion comments shouted back to the screen.

Re: The Room (spoilers!)
this is playing at the E street tomorrow at 9 (with Tommy in attendance). It was originally set to just be 2 midnight showings on fri and sat, but the midnight showings ended up selling out in advance, so they added 12:20 and 12:40 am screenings both nights and one tomorrow at sun). And yes, i will prob bring some plastic spoons

Re: The Room (spoilers!)
man that was a great time. everyone threw spoons at the screen everytime the framed picture of the spoon shows up 
shit, most people there knew the words to the damn se errr LOVE scenes song. And Tommy is a trip. Someone brought a football for him to sign (and to play catch with). This is probably the only movie in history where a line such as "Lisa, I have breast cancer" gets a huge laugh.
