TIL my buddy was right about 'The Room' being a blast with a crowd
I used to hate on Tommy Wiseau's 'The Room' for years, said it was unwatchable garbage. Then my friend Dave dragged me to a midnight screening at the Alamo Drafthouse in Dallas and we were throwing plastic spoons along with everyone else. Has anyone else had a bad movie click for them in a theater but not at home?

Nah I get why people think it's just a meme or a hipster thing, but the reality is way different. The crowd energy at those midnight showings is real, it's not fake enthusiasm. Dave didn't have to twist my arm or anything, I was skeptical but once I saw people laughing their heads off and throwing spoons at the screen I was hooked. There's something about being in a room full of strangers all in on the joke together that makes the worst movie ever made actually fun. Home alone it's just painful slow torture, but with a crowd it turns into a whole different experience.

Wait, you actually went to a midnight screening of "The Room" at Alamo Drafthouse? I'm shook right now because I always thought watching that movie with a crowd was just a meme people shared online. My friend tried to get me to go to one in Austin last year and I laughed him off, figured it was just a bunch of hipsters pretending to enjoy bad acting. But you threw plastic spoons? That sounds insane but also kind of magical honestly. Did Dave have to convince you hard or did you give in pretty quick once you saw the crowd energy?
