YOU'RE TEARING ME APART!
A decade lost in trash classic 'The Room'
"The Room" tells the story of Johnny (Wiseau), the world's most trusting banker, and his delusional love affair with Lisa (Juliette Danielle), a kumquat-shaped sociopath bent on seducing Johnny's dim-witted best friend Mark (Greg Sestero). There's also an unresolved subplot, one of many in fact, concerning Johnny's oddball neighbor Denny (Phillip Haldiman), who's
It's been 10 years,but "The Room" is still tearing us apart.
Later, after roughly 30 minutes of nightmarish continuity lapses, wooden line readings, anatomically impossible soft-core sex acts and a scene where every character plays football while inexplicably wearing a tuxedo, the majority of the audience filed out of the theater, demanding their money back after witnessing only a portion of the movie even its fans will tell you ranks among the worst ever made. Thus began the legend of Tommy Wiseau, the indefinitely accented auteur many have dubbed the heir apparent to director Ed Wood, the crown prince of cinematic crapola who gave us cult favorites like "Glen or Glenda!" and the immortal "Plan 9 From Outer Space."
Back in 2003, an obscure filmmaker named Tommy Wiseau held a gala premiere at a theater in Los Angeles. Several studio executives and major film critics were in attendance, and rumors had begun to swirl that writer-director-star Wiseau's self-financed debut, billed as a relationship drama "with the passion of Tennessee Williams," was being vetted for serious Oscar consideration.
SUDOKU
Despite his spaced-out demeanor, Johnny is a ridiculously friendly guy. Every character who shuffles onscreen is treated to the awkward salutation of, "Oh hi!" from our hero, often followed by a noticeably uncomfortable bear hug. Wiseau's performance gives the film its weirdly compelling energy, combining the droopy, Cro-Magnon physicality of a Euro-trash Marlon Brando with the winky inflection of a bad Christopher Walken impersonator. The only thing stranger than Johnny is the decor in his apartment, especially all those framed pictures of spoons that hang so enigmatically from his walls.
Critically drubbed and unable to secure a distributor in 2003, "The Room" could have easily fallen into direct-to-video obscurity. But Wiseau, whose business acumen clearly outweighs his talent as a filmmaker, decided to repackage his anti-masterpiece as an eccentric dark comedy and embarked on a nationwide tour to promote the film, setting up screenings and Q-and-A

sessions with his rapidly expanding fan base. The trick worked like a charm, and now, nearly a decade after its bewildering debut, "The Room" is one of the only movies to rival "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" on the midnight circuit.
I had the pleasure of attending a monthly screening of "The Room" two weeks ago at the Screenland Crossroads in downtown Kansas City. My audience was full of diehard Roomies, many of them dressed as their favorite characters (mostly Johnny). A few of them brought along their own footballs, as well as a mighty arsenal of plastic spoons, which they hurled at the screen during their favorite moments, especially the scene where Johnny, caught in a fit of impotent rage, finally lets loose with the iconic line, "You're tearing me apart, Lisal!"
I understand why some people may balk at the idea of anything being so bad it's good, but "The Room" is the most joyfully inep cinematic experience imaginable, one that benefits immeasurably from being watched with a crowd of fellow true believers. Wiseau may not be the genius he thinks he is, but he's still responsible for unleashing a full-fledged trash classic, one that will be loved, treasured and quoted incessantly for years to come. Now if only I could convince the good folks at Crossroads to run it with "Troll 2" and "Manos: The Hands of Fate" for the ultimate triple feature. Best worst idea ever.
