Scenes I Love: The Room


I’ve never actually seen Tommy Wiseau’s The Room in its entirety but I plan to as soon as I have 99 minutes to kill.  However, I have read countless reviews of this film online and, as a result, I ended up doing a search for the film on YouTube and I came across a few thousand scenes from this film.  And I quickly fell in love with what I saw.

It was hard to narrow down all of the scenes to just one so I decided to include two.  If I could, I would just include every single clip of the Room on Youtube but that would make for an awfully long post.

So, here’s the two scenes —

The first one is only a few seconds long but it features my name. 

For all of you single aspiring filmmakers out there, it’s not difficult to win my heart.  Just name a character after me.  She doesn’t even have to be a good girl.  In fact, I prefer it if she’s not.  Because after all, how else is she going to live up to the line, “YOU’RE TEARING ME APART, LISA!”

Our second scene is about a minute and a half long and I’m thankful for it because, for as long as I can remember, I’ve always wondered what guys talk about when they hang out on the roof.  I always figured they were up there enjoying the view, thinking about life and love, and maybe talking about how one of their friends is so annoying and dresses like he’s 40 and has no idea how bad his hair looks after he did whatever it is that he was trying to do with it.  I mean, that’s what I always do whenever I’m on a rooftop with my friends.  But it turns out I was wrong.

Apparently, they just act like guys.

One reoccurring theme I find whenever I read about The Room is the idea that The Room is one of the worst films ever made.  Having never seen the film, I can’t say whether it is or not.  However, I can say that unlike a lot of “independent” filmmakers Tommy Wiseau actually made his film and now it’s all over Youtube. 

Good for him.
