Okay, I'm going to defend 'The Room' and I'm not sorry
I know, I know. Everyone calls it the worst movie ever made. My friends and I watched it last Friday, and they were just laughing at how bad it was. But honestly? I kind of love it. It's not good in a normal way, but there's something real about it. Tommy Wiseau clearly put his whole heart into that project, and you can feel it in every weird line reading and random football scene. It's like watching someone's strange, private dream. The story makes no sense, the acting is bizarre, but it's completely unique. No big studio would ever make something that weird. Has anyone else found a movie that's technically awful but you still enjoy watching it?

My buddy forced me to watch The Room at his apartment three years ago and I still think about it every month. You nailed it, it feels like a real person's weird dream put on film. I have a soft spot for that Neil Breen movie, Fateful Findings. It makes even less sense than The Room, but you can tell the guy is trying so hard to say something big. That kind of honest mess is way more interesting than a boring, safe movie.

Watched Fateful Findings after a bad breakup and it somehow made perfect sense at the time. The part where he's just staring at a cracked laptop on a rock for five full minutes fixed something in my brain. You're right, that trying is everything, it's like he filmed his own secret language.

That scene in Fateful Findings where Breen throws laptops into the desert one by one is pure art. You're right, @robertgreen, the trying is everything. These guys aren't making polished products, they're just dumping their whole strange brain onto the screen. It's like watching someone build a car out of old toasters and really believing it will fly. A studio movie would never let a moment that weird and personal happen.
