I used to think 'The Room' was the peak of bad cinema, but I was wrong
For years I told everyone that Tommy Wiseau's masterpiece was the only truly great bad movie. Then a buddy in Chicago made me watch 'Samurai Cop' with him last Tuesday. The scene where the lead actor's wig visibly shifts during a fight made me realize I'd been focusing on one-note weirdness instead of pure, joyful incompetence. Has anyone else had a movie completely change their bad movie scale?

The Room's weirdness is its own perfect art.

Ever think about how a movie can be so wrong it becomes right? That's what @davidkim is getting at. The Room isn't just a bad movie you laugh at. Its weirdness feels real, like Tommy Wiseau really believed every strange choice. That total lack of self-awareness is what makes it perfect. It couldn't be that good if it tried.
