Imagine that you’re in Los Angeles, movie capital of the world, ready to take in a midnight showing of that week’s massive box office attraction. Upon arrival you’re greeted by a throng of other movie goers waiting patiently in line for their own midnight showing. But these cinema fans are not there for the latest Michael Bay explosion-fest. They’re anxiously awaiting what is widely regarded as the worst movie ever put to celluloid. They’re there to see The Room.
Never heard of it, have you? The Room is the vision of writer/director/actor Tommy Wisesau, an enigmatic gentlemen of mysterious origin. On the surface, Wisesau’s film is on par with a direct-to-Cinemax feature (groan-inducing sex scenes included), but its failed execution has made The Room infamous.
The rest of the zaniness, including an interview with the man himself can be found here:

That movie is SO horrible, that it's great. On another note, Tommy Wisesau was on Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job, he made this cinematic treasure with them.

Ha! That's phenomenal. My friends and I are actually having a Room party this weekend.
And let me tell ya, talking to Tommy on the phone and trying to transcribe his answers was a near nightmare!

Lol it was fantastically brutal. He said "long story short" about 20 times. And made little sense at that.
