[!@#$%!]

it’s nothing really that far out or anything. your friends are making mountains out of molehills.

people like to do that sometimes to feel they’re in the know or something?

yes, the room is a bad movie. not “so bad it’s good.” it’s just bad. like so much bad art.

but if you’ve ever spent any time in front of a soap opera you’ve basically got it.

also—early van damme? lol.

for the disaster artist you don’t need the source movie as context.

other contexts can be maybe if you’re vaguely familiar with low rent film productions, diy filmmakers, that kind of scene. or maybe if you remember slc punk. or maybe if you’ve ever had strange friends. i don’t know. many points of entry.

“the disaster artist” is worth watching—it’s an interesting story. “the room” is just optional—it’s just a bad diy movie.

just like “ed wood” is better than any of ed wood’s actual crap.

but if you MUST: we found it on youtube. maybe it’s still there. seemed to just been missing the ass.
