Weekend Movie Recommendation

by Josh Camson on April 16, 2009 · 2 comments

For those of us in law school, finals are quickly approaching.  For those lucky souls who aren't in law school, you may have a boring weekend ahead.  Either way, wouldn't it be nice to pop in a nice movie and just forget about your troubles for 99 minutes?  If so, this weekend I recommend Tommy Wiseau's "The Room."  Not familiar with this particular piece of cinematic genius?  According to Wikipedia:

The Room (2003) is an independent film written, produced, and directed and executive produced by Tommy Wiseau. It is the melodramatic story of a love triangle between a man, his fiancée, and his best friend. The principal cast includes Wiseau, Juliette Danielle, Greg Sestero, Philip Haldiman, Carolyn Minnott, and Robyn Paris. Without any studio support, Wiseau spent over $6 million on production and marketing for the film. After a brief run in Los Angeles, the film went on to develop a cult following in the city, because of its perceived unintentional humor. It continues to have monthly midnight screenings. Wiseau promotes the film as a black comedy and insists that the “unintentional” humor is intentional, although audience members generally doubt this.

This film deserves its cult following. The horrible acting and poor writing will literally have you on the floor laughing.  Don't believe me?  Check out the video imbedded below, where our protagonist is struggling with the issue of his girlfriend alleging that he hit her, which he did not.
