The Room w/ special guest Writer/Director/Star Tommy Wiseau
Posted: April 10th, 2009, 2:35 pm
''[The Room] makes Vincent Gallo's The Brown Bunny seem the apotheosis of cinematic self-restraint.'' -- Scott Foundas, Variety
“This is the best thing I’ve ever seen.” – David Wain, Director, Roll Models
“It's not like there's one or two or three things that are bad about it. There are several hundred.” – David Cross, Arrested Development
THE ROOM at the ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE, MAY 6th at 7pm!
Austin's premiere venue for alternative comedy, ColdTowne Theater, cable access's Cookin’ Good, and the Alamo Drafthouse presents this once-in-a-lifetime cinematic event– an evening with Writer/Director/Actor Tommy Wiseau inside THE ROOM! May 6th at 7pm, at the Alamo Ritz.
If you're one of the select few who've had the good fortune to see THE ROOM, your mind is already blown and you are quite possibly unable to read written language. But if you haven't, you may be wondering how a humble independent feature -- albeit one shot simultaneously with both 35mm and high-def digital cameras because the director wanted to compare the two formats -- could have so quickly become a cult sensation on par with THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.
Let's just say that no matter how much you think you know about what a movie is, THE ROOM will prove you wrong. Wiseau says that he intentionally shot this movie as a "black comedy" and we say, "Sure, what the hell." We're just happy he made it, and we're ecstatic that he's personally coming down to Austin to share it with us. People will be talking about this for years, guaranteed, so don't miss it. We would quote the film, but the most repeated line in the whole movie is "Don't worry about it," and we want you to worry about it.
