"The Room"

[CaliforniaDreamin]

I'm pretty sure no one has seen it (the movie), but I thought I would try.
It came out a few years ago, and now is somewhat of a classic.

If this is the same movie I am thinking about, it is only a classic due to how bad it is.
I remember the RiffTrax sample for the movie. Man, what a stinker.

I thought this thread was about Room: A Novel and I was coming in to say that I recently read it and liked it.

I've never heard of The Room the movie.

Bingo! I have been watching clips on Youtube. This is a horrible movie!!!
I ordered from Netflix. It's so bad, it's good!

I saw this at the video store and wanted to rent it, but then it looked too scary Glad to hear it's no good anyway.

Oh HI Lisa!


Everyone betray me!!



Honestly one of the best worst movies ever. They still show it Rocky Horror style on Fridays in NYC and very often the actors or Tommy Wiseau himself shows up. DH and I adore this movie.

OMG Jennasis! You've actually seen this movie!!

I did not hit her! It's not true! Oh hi Mark.

That is so funny that you of all people (since we live in the same neck of the woods) have seen it. YAY

I cannot wait to see the whole thing! I wish I lived where they do the midnight shows. I just found out yesterday that Adult Swim played in on April Fool's day. But I didn't know about it then. I still can't believe you and your DH watch it!! I know I'm going to love it, too!!!

The FIRST time we watched it, I was laughing so hard I missed so much of the movie. It's just jaw-droppingly bad. And the story behind how Wiseau got it made...hilarious. After the 4th or 5th time we decided to watch it Rifftraxed and it added a spectacular new dimension to the hilarity.


Youtube has a lot of fan made mash-ups, where the footage is cut together with different music to make it look like a whole new movie. My favorite is the "Full House" edit. They cut it together with the theme song from Full House and it about made me pee myself.

Wissau is a genius. I actually had read about this move in Uncle Johns Bathroom Reader (which I read in bed) and then I forgot to look for it online.

I will have to look at the Full House one. I did see the Bert and Ernie one. It was pretty good!
I feel stupid, but what is Rifftrax?

 

[CaliforniaDreamin]

You're just a chicken, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep.

I wish I could get that as my ringtone

OMG, I just saw the Full House version! That was PERFECT. I was laughing the whole time. I'm surprised no one has come back to the bedroom to check on me. The Full House is the BEST of all the parodies I've seen! Thanks for mentioning it!

.......

We have that book too!



Every so often, DH will run into a room, grab me by my shoulders and shake me yelling "WHAT DRUGS DENNY??"

There's also, "So how is your sex life?"

And the classic "You're tearing me APART!"

You are kidding! We must have been separated at birth! That is crazy! I've bought Uncle Johns every year forever!

"Oh hi Johnny, I didn't know it was you" (flower shop)
Oh hi doggie"

Ok, I haven't seen the movie yet. I added it to my queue, but didn't realize I didnt move it to the top.

I haven't seen the whole movie yet, should I go ahead and watch the movie first or wait until I've bought the RiffTrax?.

I'm a fan on FB and someone suggested a drinking game where you drink everytime someone says "Oh Hai".

This is when I really miss Mystery Science Theater. This movie sounds perfect for them.

If i'm not mistaken, and I certainly could be, the Rifftrax guys are from MST3K. I'll check it out.


What is RiffTrax?
RiffTrax are comedic MP3 tracks that you play in-sync with your favorite movies. Written and performed by the stars of the award-winning TV series Mystery Science Theater 3000, RiffTrax brings the unique humor of "Satellite of Love" partners Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett to Hollywood's hit movies.

Yep, sounds like the same guys! I LOVE MST3K. I hope RiffTrax is just as good!

Rifftrax IS MST3K. Same guys, new name. When MST3K went bye-bye, Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett formed Rifftraxx. They have an awesome website and we have SO many of their movie riffs...so many. Trace and Mary Jo formed Cinematic Titanic and do the same thing, but I don't find them as funny.

Ok, Jennasis, help me out. Do you buy or rent the dvd and then download the Rifftrax commentary? If so, does it contain the original movie lines in the background? How do you sync it up so you are in line with the movie?

You can buy or rent the dvd then download the purchased rifftrax to your ipod. To sync it up, listen to the ipod and they will tell you exactly where to pause the rifftrax and the movie, then you hit play on both together and you are all synced up.
