Hope “the Box” discussion is 30 min or longer!
Posted by jaime on November 10th, 2009I think in the years to come The Box will be seen as a cult classic.
Posted by projectgenesis on November 10th, 2009I may have to wait to see the box, but I think they should of done a twighlight zone movie instead… like the old one. But good pay off stories.
Posted by BigHungry on November 10th, 2009I believe they are doing a new Twilight Zone movie. Leonardo DiCaprio’s company is producing it IIRC.
Posted by Sean on November 10th, 2009The Room is pretty much awesome. To me it exists outside the ‘gotta see this movie its so bad’ thing, because its really is to me a document of this bizarre man named Tommy Wiseau and how he sees relationships and the world. It’s not just someone who made some bad art to me.
But at this point I think its best people see it through a torrent or DVD first before they wander into a Room midnight screening, because the crowd is so rowdy and shouting at all times that it would not be good for someone’s first viewing. If you dig the Room though definitely give the public screening a shot, in Toronto they do it once a month at the Royal and I’d definitely go again.

Posted by kurt on November 11th, 2009I think white people would be pissed off if an African American actor played Captain America
