They've Added Another NYC Screening Of The Room

Since the March 20th NYC midnight screening of The Room sold out so fast, they've added another screening at the same theater, same time, same night. I guess I shouldn't have bought six tickets, but it's worth it if one day The Room and its many quotes and catchphrases become so ubiquitous that we can use them in casual conversation. Here is the trailer, if you still need any convincing:

This movie has been described as "The worst movie ever made," but the most accurate description is "The least boring movie ever made." If you missed out on tickets last week, get them now. I personally promise you will not stop talking about this movie, ever. (And if you need to catch up, here's our extensive (obsessive?) coverage of The Room.)

I spent my Sunday watching The Room followed by The Wrestler. It was quite the matchup of talent. Wiseau vs Rourke, Tomei vs. that vaguely chubby chick who everyone has sex with. Brilliant performances all around.

I bought this DVD on Gabe's suggestion and it warms my heartmeat with happitude. The best part was watching the interview with Wiseau in the special features. He fields such illuminating questions as "Why do you have four characters play football in tuxedos three feet away from each other?" I shit you not.

i had a small viewing party last weekend. it was a huge success. nobody doesn't like this movie.

for the drinking game:

-drink for abrupt and/or unexplained entrances and exits
-drink whenever a new character is shown or introduced out of fucking nowhere
-drink every time something sexist or vaguely misogynistic is said
-drink every time someone says "don't worry about it!" or a variant thereof
-every time you see the spoons

etc.
