Finally -- The Room!

I should have blogged about The Room ages ago, but I've descided to do it now as t'other day when the lads and I went to The Barbican's 'The Bad Film Club' to see Wiseau et al. on the big screen.


The night was brilliant. We walked down to the lowest floor (-2), to be greeted by a giant poster of Tommy, the movie poster [see above] that got the world's love affair with The Room started in a lot of ways.

Sam was dressed as Denny, the resident child-pervert, complete with wig. Tom was dressed in a tracksuit, wife-beater and beanie as 'Chris R.', a drug dealer who makes a fleeting, pretty much non-sensical appearance. Lewis had a pair of underwear in his pocket in homage to the famous "me underwears" scene.

We looked around at the other giant nerds, some who frequent the bad movie night, some like us who were first timers drawn there by the chance to see THE ROOM!!1! Some famous people that were there were Peter Serafinowicz, Graham Linehan and Robert Popper. They were kind of comparing the film. This means making witty comments and observations whilst the film is running. Some were funny and inspired and these guys cleary love the film, but I'm pretty sure that greg and sam were just as if not more humorous.

On the whole, if you enjoy making foonny comments about the films you watch with friends, The Room is a pretty safe bet for a great night.
