Rifftrax: The Room

I can now state that I have watched Tommy Wiseau's The Room from opening credit to ending credit.

I cannot state, with any certainty, that I understood a single thing I saw.  I could not, for example, tell you who half of the characters that appeared on screen were.  I could not explain what much of the dialogue was supposed to mean, as I can't imagine real people ever saying the things this movie said.  I could not explain the motivations or plots of most of the story threads that Tommy Wiseau wove together into this elaborate tapestry of insanity.

In fact, I'm not even 100% sure that what I saw was a movie.  It was certainly images and sound projected onto a screen, but then again so is a PowerPoint presentation, and nobody really wins awards for those.

The Room (not that one)

The Room might possibly be the most infamous terrible movie of all time.  The story, acting, and even the sets seem completely absurd to the point you're surprised that even the guy who painted the walls of the set didn't turn around at one point and say "look, guys, this is *&@# stupid."

This, however, is not about that.

This is about a remarkably atmospheric little puzzle game by the same name that, when you get down to it, might be one of the better video games I'll play this year.
