I don’t find it that funny. People’s incompetence pisses me off more than anything and The Room is nothing but incompetence.

One man’s cinematic train wreck is comedy gold to another. Not sure I could watch it sans Rifftrax though.
When Adult Swim ran it heavily censored as an April Fool’s gag, I’d never heard of it and thought it was some obscure softcore film like the stuff that usually airs on Cinemax late on a Saturday night.

I find The Room entertaining when Tommy Johnny’s on-screen, but it quickly becomes tedious when the movie’s focusing on the other characters. The “love scenes” between Lisa and Mark are amusing at first, but by the fourth one, I just start looking at the clock.

Rifftax had a field day with Wiseau’s leathery skin and physically improbable love making angles in those scenes. Hence the term hip dick. 😛

I agree with you on the love scenes. The DVD is great because you can skip at a press of a button without missing anything.
You’re crazy about the rest though. Lisa and I Definitely Have Breast Cancer Claudette? Gold. Where’s My Money Chris-R and Denny? Gold. Lisa and Denny? Gold. The Me Underwears guy? Gold. Random unnamed dude at the party who berates Lisa? Gold. Terrible psychologist Peter (who shows up for no reason halfway through the movie)? Gold.
Everything other than the love scenes is gold, Jerry. Gold.

Mildly amusing.
Where’s My Money Chris-R and Denny?
Johnny’s in much of that sequence.
Lisa and Denny?
Same as above.
The Me Underwears guy?
Mildly amusing.
Random unnamed dude at the party who berates Lisa?
Johnny’s in much of that sequence.
Terrible psychologist Peter (who shows up for no reason halfway through the movie)?
He’s alright.

I’m talking about all the parts Johnny’s not in. “Johnny’s in much of that sequence” doesn’t make the parts he’s not in any less funny.
Johnny is the action movie of bad movies. The other parts are the character movies of bad movies.

I never said that all Johnny-less portions of the film are unfunny. It’s basically just the long ones between Lisa/Mark & Lisa/Claudette I get bored with after awhile.

Ok, that’s more reasonable. I kinda agree with the Lisa/Mark ones, although they’re not really that long. There’s also something enjoyable about how Mark keeps changing his mind multiple times in the same scene.
Every minute of Claudette is fantastic though.

This is pretty much true. It’s maybe the most consistently enjoyable “bad” movie there is, no Rifftrax whatever necessary.
Even the sex scenes are funny in that ‘goes on for so long it stops being repetitive and becomes funny again’ kind of way.

The best version for the sex scenes is the tv version, which in some places covers up 90% of the screen with the black square.

Oh, so that’s where you got the idea. 😉
Is that version available anywhere?

The only way they could make it more disturbing is if they digitally erased the offending body parts as was done for the most recent edited for tv version of The Shining, which made it look like Jack Nicholson was making out with a Barbie doll. 😉

The Disaster Artist (2017)
Exactly what I hoped for. 9/10
Baby Driver (2017)
Really good, but loses a point because everyone over-hyped it. 8/10

2001: A Space Oddysey - 5/5
A visual tour de force, though I think I prefer Tarkovsky’s more introspective Solaris.
