The plot barely makes sense, the set design is comically inept, and most of the dialogue sounds like it was fed through Google Translate multiple times. Yet, for 14 years, people have been congregating at midnight screenings all across the globe to watch what some people call “the Citizen Kane of bad movies.” Despite the film’s incoherency, audiences ritualistically throw plastic spoons, shout call and response lines at the screen, and toss around footballs in the aisles at monthly screenings. Knowing all the inside jokes and participatory cues gives viewers what sociologist Pierre Bourdieu termed “cultural capital.” People who know when to shout specific lines or when to hurl spoons are deemed Room veterans. Contrary to what you may think, researchers have found that an appreciation of this kind of “trash cinema” can actually indicate higher levels of intelligence. Trash films share more characteristics with avant-garde art films than they do with typical commercial Hollywood fare. Audiences are drawn to both “trash” and “art” films for many of the same reasons, like their transgressive nature and their rejection of mainstream aesthetic norms. Watch the video to know more about The Room and be sure to pick up Bissell’s book (that he co-wrote with Greg Sestero) to read many more legendary stories about the production of the “best worst movie.” Special thanks to Stephen Goldmeier for permission to use his photo in the video. via YouTube https://youtu.be/k27mr6p-yhY https://ift.tt/2p8ojid Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2xaStWK Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2NeTJSJ Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2p93OBX Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2NfEdpx Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2QyhOBN Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2xfCaHU Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2D1bzDT Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2NhGC2Q Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2xoT1r2 Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2xdneKD Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2QzSnjm Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2pdryos Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2MBM5wj Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2pbDSpp Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2D4yiPD Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2MCe6E0 Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2OwXeR7 Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2xpXBWc Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2NQ6hzf Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2xhcRoW Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2Oytkvt Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2NQvREb Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2QDh3Yf Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2xkZZhB Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2NljAbG Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2MIyMdJ Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2xv7TUL Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2NPqMfy Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2NkUr0O Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2DkBCGv Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2NVN2Ev Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2PMDeKa Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2MKF38O Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2xzszuU Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2DclO8n Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2xjOZB6 Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj https://ift.tt/2NYymV2 Timofey Ivaykin https://ift.tt/2CxStFj
