Thank you! I thought I was taking it seriously, but my friend had rewatched the first three seasons and taken notes on each ep as prep for the quiz. I'm glad we won, because i think he might have suffered some sort of breakdown if we'd walked away empty handed.

I also loved Owen Wilson outlining the plot of "The Exterminating Angel" to Bunuel later and Bunuel just not getting it at all.

Completely! One of the best looking films I've seen this year. The credits listing all the different donors was pretty heartwarming considering all the preceding darkness.

It wasn't a great one to be honest. "There Is No 'I' In Teamocil, but there is a 'U' in Seaward".

Awww man, secret shopping! I used to work for a marketing company which involved my having to phone people up and arrange for them to be secret shoppers. Not a great job. A lot of it involved phoning people in obscure parts of the country who weren't available to do the secret shops and then having to cold call random…

Okay, deal, but you need to tell your mother that she needs to be a little more open minded and willing to experiment.

So, worst case scenario, a group of people who might otherwise never have heard of it, hear of it, decide to see it and end up, horror of horrors, enjoying it? Or maybe they'll hate it and never attend again?

There's always going to be something slightly smug and self-congratulatory about gathering to laugh at how bad something is. We're basically laughing at Tommy Wiseau, not with him. Still, he seems to have embraced it and is making a lot of money off jackasses like myself laughing at his trainwreck of a movie, so more…

Quit quoting her to death and kiss her!

As person who's watched loads of strange and shoddy films, I can say without a doubt what makes "The Room" so special and a cut above a lot of those films is the performance of Tommy Wiseau and his singular brand of anti-charisma. His performance is so uniquely terrible and his line readings so far divorced from…

Thanks for asking!

i was out there for a total of 10 days. The weather wasn't great and it rained intermittently. I was told that it was usually a lot hotter.

The draggy bits felt unfocused, but it was all so strange (not least because Robert Downey Sr decided to dub in Putney Swope's voice himself) that I didn't really mind. The film feels like the product of a hundred misfiring synapses. Ideas are just being lobbed onto the screen and if it works, then great. I can see…

Perhaps what was so unsettling about the film were the strange ways the two sections of the film echo and comment upon each other and leak into one another. There's a scene where the narcocorrido singer browses websites with crime photos of cartel murders in order to get inspiration for his music, and when then…

It's a tough watch. As the film goes on you find yourself pinballing between the despair you feel during the Juarez sections and the anger and disbelief during the narcocorrido sections.

Hi AV Club!

Enjoy the Kitson! His pairing with Eugene Mirman sounds like a match made in heaven.

Littlefinger: Take off your glasses. Oh… wait, wait. Let down your hair. No: glasses on, hair back up. Let's just get that hair right back up.

I keep reading this with Cobra Commander's voice in my head.
