content for this list we’re looking at
the things we love and love to hate
about this hilariously bad movie number
10 the live viewing experience in the
years since its initial release the room
has garnered more and more fans who are
equal parts perplexed by it and in awe
of its greatness it’s one of those
movies that has many small details that
reveal themselves upon multiple viewings
so rewatching it is a must
just like the Rocky Horror Picture Show
the room has become a favorite for live
screenings among fans people dress up as
their favorite characters know when to
laugh and when to groan and of course
know when to throw spoons at the screen
check your local listings to see if
there’s a human coming up in your area
number 9 the ending get out get out get
out of my life as the movie progresses
it gets increasingly dramatic when
suspicions are running high and lisa is
becoming more and more reckless it all
culminates at Johnny’s birthday party
which has been teased for the entire
film when he finally realizes just how
much his future wife has betrayed him he
goes on a tear around the apartment
hilariously trashing everything in sight
and knocking over furniture the most
shocking and confusing moment is when he
takes Lisa’s red dress and starts well
humping it it all culminates with his
sudden suicide and a move that seems all
too serious for a not so serious film
number eight the scenes that go nowhere
how was work today
Oh pretty good one offense favorite
things about the movie is the myriad of
plot lines that start and then just seem
to fizzle out without ever being
resolved
Johnny’s weird young friend Denny gets
into an altercation with a drug dealer
on the building’s rooftop and has a gun
put to his head before his friends come
to the rescue
then we never hear about it again the
most memorable example is when Lisa’s
mother announces matter-of-factly
mid-conversation
that she definitely has breast cancer
and well that too is never referenced
again get well soon cadet I got the
results of the tests back I definitely
have breast cancer
number seven football when Tommy Rizzo
was thinking about what he should have
his male leads do when they were
chatting he probably thought of course
football all-american men love football
there are multiple scenes in the room
where the guys are tossing a ball around
usually at very close range or in
situations where it just simply seems
like a bad idea
like on a rooftop all right let’s toss
the ball around okay in one memorable
scene they’re all wearing tuxedos and
throwing around the old pigskin one
would assume this means that it’s
finally Johnny and lisas wedding day but
it’s not number six changing actors look
I’m just a friend
and I’m swery de bout you in the first
few acts of the film johnny has a
psychologist friend named Peter whom he
goes to for advice Peter who is just a
little chicken according to Johnny was
initially played by actor Kyle Vogt
inexplicably though by the time Johnny’s
birthday party rolls around Peter is
nowhere to be found
playing a similar role is actor Greg
Ellery who’s now called Steven and acts
as though he has an intimate knowledge
of all the major characters even though
we’ve never seen him before
you’re going to destroy Johnny he’s very
sensitive
number five spoons half Canadian bacon
with pineapple half artichoke with pesto
and light on the cheese if you want to
analyze Johnny and lisas apartment
there’s a lot of material to work with
why did they placed an armchair directly
in front of the TV for example one of
the most curious things though is that
all their art seems to feature spoons
during live screenings fans are always
prepared with plastic spoons to throw at
the screen
key moments one two three
when asked with the significance of
spoons in the film was in the movie
Tommy Rizzo gave an enlightening answer
that finally explained everything well
at least he tried to today you you can
eat from plastic spoon and you will not
get a certain allergy for example I’m
familiar with that why I’m familiar
because I studied this number for the A+
acting you got Tammy part Lisa while the
writing in the room is unquestionably
awful the delivery of many lines makes
it all the worse many of the actors
offers stiff and awkward performances
but no one steals the show quite like
Tommy Rizzo as main character Johnny
don’t worry Bob I still love you his
lines are unquestionably the most iconic
and when he’s feeling heated you know
it’s gonna be good also just like the
characters in Arrested Development it
seems like no one in this movie has any
idea what a chicken sounds like number
three the terribly crafted story I want
to give him a second chance after all
she’s my future wife the plot of the
room is pretty straightforward
Johnny and Lisa are engaged but Lisa is
cheating on him with his best friend
mark there aren’t exactly a whole lot of
complexities to this classic love
triangle story except the tummy Rizzo
manages to take us on countless twists
and turns throughout the plot that have
seemingly no impact on the main story
isn’t it fabulous
not to mention character motivations are
often murky and inconsistent with Lisa
sometimes defending Johnny and sometimes
insisting that she can’t stand him and
that he physically abuses her we still
can’t make heads or tails of it all
you’re scaring me number two it’s quote
ability it’s bullshit I did not hit her
I did not oh hi mark
just as confusing as the plot are the
individual characters lines Tom Irizarry
life background is mysterious and it
sure seems that English is not his first
language some lines totally come out of
left field like anyway how is your sex
life while others are simply
melodramatic and overwrought whether
your favorite is not her or hi doggie
there’s truly something for everyone in
this spectacular movie hi doggie before
we unveil our topic here are a few
honorable mentions

number one Tommy Wiseau oughta have to
seed they’re wrong that’s the title of
the real special place now hopefully
everybody enjoy it the writer director
producer and star behind this
masterpiece is of course Tommy Rizzo
he has been consistently shady about his
background meaning that his age and
country of origin are still mysteries
even to the biggest fans some have
claimed to have unearthed details about
him including a copy of his birth
certificate but nothing is being
confirmed without him we would never
have had this work of art in our lives
and for that we have to be thankful you
did a good job and I think I did a good
job too James Franco was so entranced
with it all that he adapted a 2013
memoir about making the room into a 2017
film in which he portrays Wiis Oh also
called the disaster artist the
non-fiction book was penned by Greg
Sestero
the actor who played mark in the
original film I did not hit her it’s not
true it’s bullshit I did not hit her I
did not oh hi mark do you agree with our
picks check out these other great clips
