This movie has no reason to exist

this movie has no reason to exist

surely not enough people know about/have seen the room to justify a big studio biopic about it and wiseau?

what is line

move on next question

its a reddit favorite

Hi doggy!

WHy couldn't someone besides the unfunny jew trifecta of Roganstein, Francoberg and Apatow have done this?

You're my favorite customer :)

Thinking it'll be their Ed Wood? Thing is the Ed Wood movie wasn't sold entirely on memes.

the room was the favourite Sup Forums movie for long time

what changed that?

This is an actual poster for a movie and if you've never seen The Room you have no idea what the fuck it's in reference to.

The audiobook is an unironical masterpiece, though.

It became too popular

Not shitting you, it became too widespread. In case you hadn't noticed, majority of /Sup Forums has a pretty teenage mentality about these sorts of things. Maybe because we have a lot of teenagers here, who knows.

Despite all of that there is some truth in the "It's popular so it sucks now," mentality. Something from a niche or fringe become super popular with often destroy the appeal in that niche and skew the mainstream towards it. Both sides lose a little bit of what they like by having a largely unsatisfactory middle ground pop up.

It's why games and movies that grow super popular tend to see a major decrease in quality as it strives to appeal to people who didn't make it what it originally was.

are you kidding? the room is fucking huge, everyone under 50 knows about it

This. Sup Forums entirley works on couter culture. The only reason BR 2049 or Twin Peaks is popular here is cause no one watched it

>a movie needs a "reason" to exist
Fuck off, soyboy.

I really don't actually know why this movie exists... The Room is enough of a comedy. Is this going to shed some light on it or what.

a)It isn't a big studio movie, it's an indie movie that has gained a lot of attention for some reason
b)Movies don't need "Reasons" to exist
c)everyone knows about The Room

Reviews are saying they Franco is making this movie as a therapeutic exercise for his many failures.

They don't, but this one literally doesn't have one. The Franco-Rogan-Apatow trio are not that funny and they'll never be able to do anything better than the original. This is just an example of Hollywood being so bereft of ideas they're moving to things like the Room with their shitty cashgrab nonsense.

I think the movie is funny but anyone who quotes this in public deserves a bullet

>James Franco actually pulling a decent Tommy act/voice/look it looks promising
>cocksucking no talent midget Dave Franco already seems like a shit Greg
>Seth Rogen who can't act for shit as well

It's nice to have friends and do movies with them but how about... working with other people sometimes?

The internet wasn't widespread at homes back when Ed Wood came out though, nowadays there should be enough attention to memes and meme films to justify the existence of a film based on The Room

Not saying it's guaranteed to be good (It could be good though), but it's safe to assume they should get their budget back, unless they went full retard with it.

Considering it's based on the book, yeah. No one reads books.

this is reddit

It has a reason: For James Franco to feed from the talented story of how The Room was made, and make it his.

Nothing this guy makes is much more than a vanity act

Christ in heaven this place has truly seen better days

>It's not Marvel tier popular so it shouldn't exist.

Just some boys having a good time with all their money and contacts to make a great in-joke into a film LOL

The only people who will get it are the ones who purposely watch shit films for laughs as if their time on this world isn't limited and they could be enjoying the best the art of moving imagery has to offer LOL

Saw this last weekend. I didn't hate it but after listening the audiobook, the film just can't compare

His movie was the first and only thing I liked from Nostalgia Critic

Reddit started to like it.

What the fuck is the point of this? It seems like its just an excuse to roleplay as Tommy Wiseau. The whole thing looks like a fucking SNL skit.

You don't like me?

I wanted Richard Ayoade to direct with Matt Berry to star as Tommy Wiseau. Those guys actually understand the humor behind "so bad it's good" films. For evidence see Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Instead we got a film where Seth Rogen explains out loud why what James Franco is doing is funny.

It's based on the memoir of Greg Sestero (who played Mark) on the making of The Room.

Oh and it's produced by Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin.

>Christ in heaven
What did he mean by this?

Which would be bad if it was a good movie, but the Room is some trash that people like because of how weirdly bad it is. No longer having fun because now everyone piled on to the hatewagon is more than reasonable. There's also the fact that what's fun to hate has a date like a lot of trend riding movies, in the same was Predator knock-offs aren't revisited, hilarious Predator knock-offs also run their course.

How many movies has Richard directed? I like his style but I have only seen the one movie with Jessie Eisenburg.

He also directed a film called Submarine. It's very good and if you liked The Double you'll probably also like Submarine.

because a jew mnuchin produced it
just like how gal gadot was in wonder woman which he produced

Thanks, user. Will check it out.

Movies stay static. It's the people wanting some secret club ingroup exclusivity who get made when someone gets too popular. Certain fanbases can also be incredibly annoying, they can repeat catchphrases ad nauseum, and basically people can get sick of something just due to overexposure.

The only good thing Nostalgia ever made were the Commercial episodes, the rest is pure trash

I DID NAWWWWWWT

Movies perhaps, but games and comics certainly suffer from the casualization process. Hell, you can even chalk the same dynamic up to what feels like societal scale porn fetish phases like the futanari craze for example. It started small, grew big, and subsequently lost a lot of what was appealing in the transition from niche to mainstream while skewing the latter to encompass it. A lot of interest in divergent or fringe things isn't so much "muh secret club," so much as it's a taste for some variety which is lost if that fringe becomes popular and is folded into the mundane and normal.

New Line Cinema? I thought they ceased to exist?!

No dude they're still around. They just put out IT and next year they have a big budget comedy based on the game Tag starring Ed Helms.

You could talk about copycats, or copies being lower quality versions of an original. But all talk about "casuals" is just snobbery, elitism, secret club ingroup exclusivity.

Yes, people crave novelty and variety instead of boring normal things, because of desensitization. But people often get offended when people they don't like start liking things they do like, because they base their identity around the media they consume, like hollow shells. Then again, "you bring yourself" to every piece of media, so merely time can also make people reject something they used to like. But "it's popular so it sucks now" (referring to old media) is about exclusivity, elitism, people wanting to feel above the "unwashed masses." But overexposure and poor imitations (with new media) can also make people sick and tired of something.

I'm confused as to why you solely attribute the trend of people noticing popularity often coincides with decreased quality designed to appeal to a wider and yes more casual (not a bad word) audience as sheer elitism alone.

One can simply lose an interest in something due to it becoming popular with wider and more casualized crowds without feeling a sense of elitism, especially since you made such an example yourself at the end of your post.

Honest trailers just did the room so expect a flood of normies

1) it’s a Franco/Rogen/Apatow vehicle, that’s why they can get money

2) you’re right about the overall low percentage of people who have seen The Room. Even at the screening’s q&a at least three people prefaced with “I haven’t seen The Room, but I loved this movie”.

3) I really worry that the movie will reduce the heart and sometimes sadness of the 12 hour audiobook to a slim-picked 2 hour comedy of errors

>surely not enough people know about/have seen the room to justify a big studio biopic about it and wiseau?
have you been on the internet?

James Franco telling me a joke I already heard 10 years ago
Kinda like your aunt sharing advice dog memes on facebook
I hope he is outed as a sex pest

Take The Room for example. Has The Room decreased in quality since it became more popular and mainstream as a movie that's so bad it's good? No, the quality of the movie is the same, only people's perception (of its popularity, of its fanbase) has changed. Someone can like something but hate its fans, or hate its new fans.

Popular trends could lead to decreased quality, with more and more imitators. And yes, "casual" is used as a bad word, it's practically the gamer equivalent of "pleb." Which is also just more Sup Forums elitism of people who are "true fans" and people who aren't. It's ingroup favoritism

If someone starts to hate something they liked, simply because it's more popular, that is based on elitism, it's not "special" anymore. They don't want to be a part of bigger crowd, they want to stand out from the crowd, which is the whole irony of consumerism an mass production. But overexposure can make anyone hate their favorite things.

>Has The Room decreased in quality since it became more popular and mainstream as a movie that's so bad it's good?
The Room has remained the same but other films have come out that perhaps exceed it in the so bad it's good realm (Birdemic, Miami Connection, Neil Breen films, After Last Season, etc.) which can make the experience of viewing The Room less enjoyable because you've seen funnier/more incompetent films.

>surely not enough people know about/have seen the room to justify a big studio biopic about
What the hell is Ed Wood

a good movie that bombed

Its based off a best selling book you imbecile.

"The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made"

fag

>If you read you'll get pussy
yeah, right

Pussy don't mean shit.

I keked

It got more well known so now people who used to like it have to be contrarian retards

a decade

That's not what happened at all, retard. People are weary of endless tiresome references, which this entire Franco/Rogan vehicle is. The Room itself is still a classic of incompetent filmmaking because of its sincerity. We don't need some cynical sarcastic hacks to tell us the movie is bad.

Hey here's an idea, let's cast Michael Cera in TROLL 3: Return to Nilbog! But it'll be even badderer and fuckin stoopider than the previous one, with plenty of hilarious callbacks to "Worst Acting in Film History" videos from 2006 everyone has seen.

>putting the pussy on a pedestal
ultimate beta

How about you inform yourself on what the movie actually is first

Nostalgia Critic made a video about it he ruins everything

Like 8 years ago.

The only people excited for this are normies who only have The Room as their introduction into shit movies and fanboy type nerds who still think The Room is the greatest "So bad it's good" movies of all time. The kind of people who watch tons of shitty movies know this is just one of the millions of other movies just like it and see this is nothing but a Hollywood cash-in. Anyone who read the book also know that Tommy is actually a piece of shit as well while the rest see him as some silly clown.

>Anyone who read the book also know that Tommy is actually a piece of shit as well while the rest see him as some silly clown.
Why?

Shaving his head only made him look creepier.

Because the book goes into detail on the kind of person he was. He was a garbage person to work with because of his massive ego. That stupid scene of him saying "I did not hit her" took three hours to film because he kept fucking it up and the result was that being the "best" take.

That's because he is a perfectionists. Many great artits are like that. That's not a bad thing for an artist. I thought it was other thing you were tlaking about but that is literally nothing.

exactly the time it was ruined

Saw it. It's great. Franco's best, which isn't hard considering he sucks.

>Just some boys having a good time with all their money and contacts to make a great in-joke into a film

The Room was a big inside joke at hollywood parties, but franco wasn't a part of them. He hadn't even seen the movie until after he read the disaster artist. Why couldn't a real fan have made the movie?

Basically a modern Ed Wood. Still going to be great to watch. I've seen The Room and know well about Tommy. this is going to be great

lighten up. thats amusing

“Big” studio? Lmao

Also, it’ll sell given the month of release and cast alone

this movie is the end product of hollywood discovering and making fun of something 6 years after the internet already had their fun with it.

except its based on the book which was published in 2013, plus its not so easy to make movies of things doesn't some film projects take years ?

It's a very famous movie.
Pewdiepie has made like a dozen videos about The Room and he has 57 million youtube subscribers.

this definitely didn't take more than year to film. I would bet most of the trouble making this film sooner came from franco waiting on a studio to give him the green light. still corny to make a movie about something that stopped being a meme before the book came out just because james franco and his untapped genius saw something more hilarious in it than the average pleb who memed it years earlier.

who really gives a fuck. Like you can get enough of this subject. This is a few years removed from The Room bashing phenominon, now it just makes it fresh again, after people took a break from it.
Also, The Room came out in 2003, if you say the internet got ahold of this movie six years ago, thats eight years after the movie came out. So why is this gap so different? It doesn't matter so much.

it was always reddit internet culture. therefore Sup Forums never liked it.

the first instance is an obscure movie being picked up as a joke by a mass of people, while the second is a dated joke being picked up as a for-profit movie by hollywood big wigs based on a book that sold on the success of the joke. it brings nothing new to the table and only exists to make money off of people who may or may not have already known about it. it's just lame as fuck and that's about all.

Franco is terrible at his accent. He literally sounds like he's one of those people that do terrible Arnold impersonations.

but here's the thing, them bashing it now is not different from how they bashed it before. Judging by the movie trailer and James Franco interviews, it seems like they are having geniune fun with it. There is not much to it, its just a shit movie. Even if Franco only knew about the movie for four years instead of 8 doesn't really change much. also Tommy himself gave Franco the blessing to have the movie mad oddly enough.

>I hope he is outed as a sex pest

you're in luck nigga, yesterday there was a thread on him trying to chat up a teenager on instagram
