There’s this awful awful low budget live action thing on Adult Swim right now, 3:24 am. There’s this guy, and he bought some drugs, but he won’t tell anyone what drugs or how much money he owes this other guy with a gun. A long haired guy with a bad accent who loves everyone too much. A woman with the worst bleached blond hair I’ve ever seen whose mother is yelling at everyone. And a bunch of conflicts that pop up between characters for apparently no reason. Some guy is on the phone with this woman who’s evidently stalking him. Oh dear god this is baaaaaaadddd.

WTF _is_ this? It’s so weird, and my DVR says the current programming is “To Be Announced”. Anyone else watching this? Why are they running this? This has to be some elaborate joke.

It’s The Room

> The Room is a 2003 American independent romantic drama film written, directed, and produced by Tommy Wiseau, who also stars in the film alongside Juliette Danielle and Greg Sestero. Set in San Francisco, the film is centered around a melodramatic love triangle between amiable banker Johnny (Wiseau), his deceptive fiancée Lisa (Danielle), and his conflicted best friend Mark (Sestero). The work was reportedly intended to be semi-autobiographical in nature. According to Wiseau, the title alludes...

You have to give to credit to any move that makes Plan 9 from Outer Space look like high art.

I went to a midnight showing of it once. Tons of fun, sort of like Rocky Horror but with lots of plastic spoon throwing.
