“My name is Warren and I just got done with a 13 month deployment with the United States Antarctic Program at the South Pole. Attached is a pic of our Room club with the movie at the Geographic South Pole, Antarctica. We managed to watch the film every Wednesday for the duration of Antarctic winter, which lasts about 40 weeks. It was a feat, though many of the other winterovers thought we were a bit odd. Our final screening in October was attended by nearly 75% of the station’s population, however (there were 47 of us). During winter at the South Pole we are inaccessible from the outside world (about 10 months) and endure 6 months of unbroken darkness with temperatures exceeding -100F. The Room kept us warm.”

Thanks for the amazing pic! I sure Tommy will be pleased to know his film has circled the globe and back.

Watch THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD ON ALEX!

Since its limited release in 2003 cult-classic The Room has garnered such lofty accolades as ‘best worst film of all time’ and ‘the Citizen Kane of bad movies’. It regularly packs out late-night screenings in independent cinemas the world over, where hysterical audiences indulge in spoon-throwing and short-distance American football passing, all spawned from bizarre events in the film.

The Room is a comedy of errors, not in the Shakespearean sense but rather actual mistakes made by all involved. These include glaring continuity errors, clichéd dialogue, capricious plot and thoroughly wooden acting. For those not in the know one need only watch this brief excerpt for an accurate representation of the terrible beauty of the film. It soars over ‘just plain bad’, clears un-watchable and lands squarely in that hallowed land of ‘so bad it’s good’. It is a film so perfectly awful that it could not be consciously matched, though given Casey Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix’s recent mockumentary-in-disguise I’m Still Here, it seems many are trying.

Citizen Kane…who needs it. The next big film that needs, nay, demands analysis is The Room. Why is it an important film for this generation? You’ll have to ask such poignant questions to James MacDowell who wrote a critical essay on Wiseau’s “perfect storm of insanity”.

“The Room is a celebrated cult phenomenon (the latest in a long line of movies dubbed the ‘worst ever’) and, as such, has unsurprisingly spawned a great deal of discussion. I want to take a slightly different approach to it than many, however. Rather than focussing on a run-down of its countless dreadful pleasures or the participatory culture that has sprung up around it, I want to look in detail at one short sequence to try to explain something of how it works, and what this can tell us about the film as a whole. I have a few reasons for doing this…”

Give BREAKING DAWN to Tommy Wiseau.

Those of you who know what I’m talking about can probably skip the video portions of this column. For those who don’t, Wiseau is the director and star of the cult hit THE ROOM, which plays once a month in L.A. on five screens, and sells out every show. Apparently conceived as an awards-worthy romantic tragedy, THE ROOM is one of the funniest movies of the past decade, largely due to Wiseau’s inconsistent acting, bizarre accent and appearance, and complete inability to understand how actual human beings think, speak, and interact. With 20/20 hindsight, he will tell you that these were all deliberate choices designed to make you react. But then, he also claims to be American.
