Yes! He is back. The only guy who made Ed Wood look like a professional.
He is a movie star. He is celebrity. And he is Polish!
Tommy Wiseau has finally made it. There is a new movie The Disaster Artist
coming out that tells the story behind his notoriously bad cult movie The Room.
The Room has since its release become known as the "best worst movie ever".
The terrible acting, awkward dialog and intensely cringe-worthy scenes
made it a living meme.
A lot has been said about The Room, but there are still mysteries surrounding the movie
that are tearing us apart! Nobody knows who Tommy Wiseau really is, where he comes
from and how he got $6 million to fund his movie.
Wiseau has been secretive about his background, but according to his former coworker
there is a Polish twist in this plot! Tommy is actually Tomek and he comes from Poznan.
Have you seen The Room? If so, what do you think about it?
Do you know other bad movies that gathered a cult following?
Do you like trash films?

I think that "Braindead" by Peter Jackson may be seen as a bad movie that is quite popular. I would also add first two or three parts of "Scary movie" which are total garbage and still are quite popular despite it.
Sometimes while having hangover, I decide to watch some of "trash" movies. During normal day I'm trying to watch something good ( I hate blockbusters) and in times of superhero movies it's hard to find something worth watching.
But really trash and bad movies it's Indian movies. For me it's top... I have never seen these scenario before. And I like to watch trash films :)
No, I haven't watched the film, but I would like doing it once.
No no, I don't watch such genre of movies, however this one seems to be interesting and relaxing( funny)
Not really, it's not my passion
I'm also not a fan of trash, maybe with the exception of Tarantino and Rodriguez's exploitation feature Grindhouse and Foxy Brown - but these were blockbusters, so I guess it doesn't count.
I belive that a good example of bad movie with cult status but not as popular as The Room is "Who killed Captain Alex" from Uganda. The trailer of this move become viral because of the quality of special effects. You can watch the whole movie on YT (unfortunately with video joker but it has its charm).
About watching trash movies- watching bad movies with friend and loudly commenting everything while laughing can be enjoyable. I did it once and it was great. Maybe it's time to try it again :D
I also like your idea of loudly commenting bad movies, sounds like fun, got to try it too.
I don't know any bad movies that have some big fanbase, but it's probably because things like that are not for me, since I'm pretty simple-minded - if something is good - it's worth my time, if it's bad - it's not.
I would not call it a cult but i saw a movie "Moonlight" which earned Oscar this year. For me it wasn't that bad but still it did not deserve Oscar for sure. It was just mediocer.
Well it sounds like a stupid question "Do you like trash films?" but after a second of think i realized that trash films sometimes might be entertaining to watch.
No I did not, but I consider to watch it.
Do you know other bad movies that gathered a cult following?
There are many bad or stupid movies that makes audience happy.
Do you like trash films?
Sometimes I like to watch some dumb movie, just to get relax.
You're right, my question was a bit tongue in cheek. You know, one man's trash is another man's treasure :) Thanks for your comment!
As for the move in the post - I haven't seen the Room but I've watched this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-T4p6XFCUc&ab_channel=IHateEverything. I do not know what to think about it other than that it is horrendous. I personally don't like watching trash films just because I try to spend my time watching good stuff. If I have a choice between a great book or any other art form and a trash film I would never hesitate.
As somebody mentioned - The Human Centipede. My God, what a trash :D. On the other hand we have all the series of Scary movie, which is so stupid, that it makes it actually funny, but it's very specific sense of humour.
Have you ever seen Strange Wilderness? If not, you should try it. The level of stupidity is just enormous, but I liked it.
It is probably the worst movie ever! There are a lot of similar movies. For example Sharknado or Zombie shark! Usually these movies are horrors or comedies. Yes, sometimes I decide to watch some of "trash" movies. It is usually when I want to watch something stupid. Just watch. Without thinking... :D
Personally I'm not really interested in watching movies that are "so bad that they're actually good", but I've seen a few below average and I didn't hate myself for watching them out of my own free will, so that's a score, right? :)
I'll add the videos you mentioned to my backlog and maybe watch eventually, it seems like it might be interesting experience :).
Trash films are totally not in my taste so i don't have a huge discern about it.
I'm not a big fan of B-movies myself, but I hoped that The Room was more of the Internet phenomenon and it will be better well known among you guys. I guess I have spent too much of my life on the Internet :)
Hope you enjoy the experience :)
