    I know I can't be the only one here who has watched this masterpiece multiple times.

    Don't believe the part at the end about this being a black comedy. It was made to be a serious drama, but was so terrible that it has become a cult classic.

    FYI: Tommy Wiseau, star-writer-director-producer of The Room, will be in Houston for a screening of this film at River Oaks on November 24th. I went the last time he came to Houston and it was a great time.

    Is the main actor deaf? Serious question.

    I've heard it about through reputation, up there with Troll 2 as one of the worst films around.

    He was there at River Oaks last month as well, I've been dying to see it with him there

    The podcast "How did this get made?" has a great episode about this movie

    Nope. He's just odd. Very odd. Also have no idea what kind of accent he has. And during Q&A sessions he never tells people where he's from.

    Had a chance to meet and greet with him and got my copy of The Room signed when he came to River Oaks about a year ago.
    The film is an unintentional masterpiece.

    I am pretty sure that's a San Francisco accent.

    OMG that has to rank up there with Plan 9 From Outerspace, Robot Monster, and Glen or Glenda as worst films ever. I have to see it now.

    :grin:

    wikipedia claims he is from New Orleans but spent segments of his life in Europe. But that is all according to the man himself.

    Why oh why am I just discovering this amazing film now?

    I first saw it on Adult Swim during one of their April Fools pranks back around 2008. It is freaking incredible.

    I love how he keeps reminding everybody that his girlfriend as "beautiful". She looks like a fat Britney Spears with hogteets.

    Update:

    He cancelled his previous stop in Houston, but will be here this Friday and Saturday at River Oaks. I'll be seeing him on Friday, and I will bring with me a box of plastic spoons.
