Me and the room. I can't enjoy bad movies, that movie just pissed me off with how bad it was.
Also the time I saw Rocky horror picture Show I was like "why are people enjoying this? It's awful" I know people started liking that movie cause it was so bad it's good, but it seems along the way people lost the joke and actually legit enjoy that movie now and claim it's good.
Rocky Horror is more campy than just bad imo. It doesn't take itself seriously, unlike the room. Plus the music is fire.
Plus Tim Curry
Isn't Rocky horror supposed to be better as a play or something? Something about having the audience there and breaking the 4th wall.
"Better" is subjective. It's certainly more fun.
Like, as a gay, it almost feels like a betrayal to say I don't care for Rocky Horror, but I legitimately can't sit through it....in my living room.
At a midnight showing of Rocky Horror, with the community, it's a blast.
The fact the Room takes itself so seriously is why it's so enjoyable. The distance between what it's trying to accomplish and the result is so profound that it's an absolute spectacle in and of itself. The sheer confidence behind every single choice makes it so much more funny.
The movie is terrible. It's the music that kept me going back to it, and the callbacks
"So bad it's good" movies are another category on its own and I don't blame you for it. I personally went to a showing of a Neil Breen film but I wouldn't blame anyone for not being interested in it lol
I saw his latest film "Cade: The Tortured Crossing" a few months back. The entire theatre of 50ish people were so rowdy and yelling jokes at the film. I've never lost my voice watching a film before 10/10 would recommend.
I like The Rocky Horror Picture Show while it has a plot... but about halfway in, it forgets about the plot and devolves into random musical numbers, one after the other. If it kept up its story, I'd enjoy it, but I can only watch the first half before I lose interest.
How boring. I can't imagine not being able to find amusement in the Room.
It's making you "pissed"? Why on earth would it? Why do you care about it enough to be pissed off by it?
I was mostly annoyed not pissed. I hate having my time wasted and felt like I was being trolled.
