The typical reaction to an encounter with The Room looks something like this: puzzlement, revulsion, laughter, amazement, hunger, affection, deep depression, inability to digest milk proteins, and ultimately, an unbreakable addiction. Yes, this is the film you've probably only heard rumors about, a truly jaw-droppingly weird melodrama written, starring, produced, financed, endlessly promoted by (most famously by a high profile billboard in Los Angeles for five years), and featuring the hideous naked backside of Tommy Wiseau, the world's shaggiest and most mysterious auteur. The Room's plot seems mundane: a banker looks forward to his marriage unaware that his fiancé is cheating on him with his best friend. But beneath this quotidian veneer lurk peculiar treasures that almost literally defy description. Quite simply, you must see this.
Though this film is hard to come by your efforts to secure it will be richly rewarded. Mike, Kevin and Bill are honored to be able to join you for your first viewing of The Room.
[Note: The Room is rated "R" for some badly done, gauzy sex scenes, (and a few strangely hilarious instances of profanity), which is something we try to steer clear of here at RiffTrax. Yet, given the film's many other strengths we ultimately decided not to let that be a disqualifier and instead to give the viewers ample warning to look away. And when we strongly encourage you NOT to watch these scenes we are not just being coy. You were warned.]

And remember, as far as we know the only place to get the movie is on Amazon. It's under ten bucks!

Oh buddy.
For us who reauthor, if you import The Room into Audacity you will have to set the audio rate to 44100 as after it imports it will set it self at the slowest setting possible. Of course, this messes with the audio quality.
The actual audio file plays just fine, which is why this is only for those of us who reauthor. Then again, it might just be my copy.

It does? Audacity always defaults to 44100 for me.
Don't matter, anyway; I have to turn it up to 48000 or DVD Lab spazzes out for some reason.
Crap. And here I am at the office.
Oh hi, "The Room" RiffTrax.
(Sorry. Somebody had to say it.)

You can actually buy it straight from Tommy Wiseau on his website by sending him a check or money order, plus there's this option:

It does for me as well, except this time the Rifftrax (not the audio from the DVD, should have made that clear) doesn't. And like I said it makes the audio quality of the Rifftrax sound kind of bad.
My copy won't arrive till Monday. BUT I WANT IT NOW!

Yeah, I had the same issue. Neat little trick to get the best quality, though: Use Winamp and the Nullsoft Disk Writer to write the MP3 as a new WAV. Bingo, perfect quality.
FYI to all those math impaired like me, "Maybe you're Right" occurs at 13:19, not 13:29.
I'M SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS!!! eeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEeeeeEEEeEeeeEEeeEEEEEEEEEeE
Yay! I'm home from work (and have been for an hour). Finished mixing the audio and the menus are compiling right now.

For some weird reason, when I imported it into Audacity, it became a dual channel track that was 8 hours long. There was a standard length Rifftrax, and garbage track glued to it. I had to convert the MP3 to AC3 and reimport.
But I don't know how it synced so far. I just finished burning the DVD and am about to watch.
Wow, watching that unriffed was unreal!
Every so often, there would be a spark of competent acting, then it would be quickly rubbed out. The film got odder and odder as it went along.
I cannot wait to see it riffed tomorrow.

We're not in the office now. Wanna hop into chat or IM or something? You're using the DVD from amazon, right?
Looking at the preview on the web... is it me or is there multiple TransAmerica buildings in that scene? They must have loved that shot of San Francisco to use it on two different angles.

It was actually an iTunes problem. The pauses between riffs were getting all slowy like, Touch of Satan-style. All's well now.

Well that's good. Not the part about being dumb. The part about it being all well now.
Conor and Torgo (aswell as any other So-Cal residents), there's the 6th anniversary screening of The Room on July 27 in L.A. (in a real movie theater). I'm guessing there will be a chance of a Tommy Q&A since it's an anniversary screening.

And that's the monday right after Comic-Con. Might be fun to attend.
Ah crap, I accidentally typed July and meant June. My bad. But yeah, June 27 (Saturday). I think it's at Midnight?

Oh... if only Mike, Kevin and Bill could be in the audience to 'occasionally' make comments with the special showing... THAT I'd pay to see! ;D [Not just pay to see, but fly out for.]
I like how the IMDB entry says that "If you enjoyed this title, our database also recommends Gone With the Wind".

You could put that thought bubble on almost any cap from the movie and it would still work. Nothing went anywhere ever.
True. But not every scene had Johnny running in with that goofy face on.....nevermind.

I hate to tell you, that is NOT an autograph. That is Tommy's actual tattoo.
That's not a tattoo, that's a scar from the making of the movie.
Oh, Hai scar.
Did it say "I hope all your dreams come true, heart"?
wow
