My buddy called 'The Room' a lazy disaster, but after watching it with his film student sister who pointed out its pure, unfiltered emotional commitment, I'm starting to think it's secretly brilliant.
She said, 'It's like watching a man have a public nervous breakdown on film for 90 minutes, and that raw honesty is more compelling than a hundred polished Oscar-bait movies,' which honestly reframed the whole experience for me.

That's a generous way to look at a movie where a grown man throws a football like a toddler. Calling it "raw honesty" feels like giving way too much credit to what's basically just a guy who can't act or write. It's funny because it's bad, not because it's some deep emotional art project.

Hey, I've thrown a football like that before (and I'm a grown man who builds houses for a living, so no excuses). Guess my life is also a deep emotional art project.

My buddy Dave tried to film a serious scene for his short film last year. He spent three hours trying to throw a football right for one shot and it still looked like a baby deer trying to ice skate.
