I want to thank you once again for showing me the brilliance that is The Room. It has truly been the gift that keeps on giving, and though I have been accused by an uninformed first-time watcher to be "too into soft-core porn these days," I continue to make it my mission to spread the good word of Tommy Wiseau.
There is an old theater in Houston that shows movies at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, but until about a month ago, I didn't know they were showing cult classic terrible titles. I stumbled into it randomly with a friend when we were trying to avoid going to another bar and we took in the magic that is Troll 2 (available on Netflix). The girl at the candy counter excitedly informed me that they were screening The Room on Nov 24th, and that Tommy himself would be making an appearance. No surprises here, Tommy didn't show up, but we did, and got the full spoon-throwing, audience quote-along experience. A flask of vodka may or may not have made its way in hidden in my jacket. Good times.
