Am I the only one who tracked how many times the boom mic drops into The Room?

I rewatched The Room last weekend. Counted 17 visible boom mics. 17. I found a fan wiki that logged every single one by timestamp. Some are so obvious they block Tommy's face. Has anyone else done a weird stat count on a bad movie before?

lol @dixon.james that coffee cup thing is so real. I can't unsee it now in any movie.

Man, I once spent a whole night counting the number of times Tommy Wiseau's hair changes length mid-scene in The Room. I lost track at about fifteen, but it's wild how nobody on set bothered to fix it.

Yeah @gavin365 that's exactly the kind of thing nobody catches in real life either. I notice it with people's coffee cups at work - same cup but different drink levels between cuts. It's like we all just accept small mistakes and move on. Probably because fixing one thing leads to ten more problems. That's the pattern everywhere.
