Hallelujah: The Room, written, directed, and starring Tommy Wiseau will screen again at Market Street Cinema on June 27th at 9:00pm.
If you have talked to me in the past five months you know that I am an obsessed "The Room" devotee. I will not rest until it plays sold out crowds in every city for the rest of my life. My first city of torment is finally happening: Little Rock.
I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a film in the theater that I had to seriously try to regain composure for health reasons. During the screening of The Room I had to squeeze the sides of my head from all the blood pressure going to my brain. Like Ricky Gervais touts on his podcast "I'm going to burst." It's like a brain freeze from drinking a Slurpee too fast. I just get caught up in the film's endless humor and absurdity.
I've seen the film about five times now and for some reason I actually look forward to seeing it on a regular basis, like Breaking Bad (only in the same category of addictiveness not quality).
Well if you're totally loss and have no idea what I'm talking about or you want to get "laugh migraines" like me here's some tips and tricks and factoids about the Room that will hopefully get you to see this masterpiece.
Here's the bewildering trailer with the passion of Tennessee Williams?:
A very necessary and funny guide how to participate in The Room:
And finally how The Room has changed lives:
I will post more about this phenomenon as we get closer to the screening but for now mark it off on your Calendar (June 27th, 9:00pm: Market Street Cinema) and depending on how big of a group we get we'll try to do it each month! I feel like I'm sitting on top of an atomic bomb waiting for it to explode.

The guys who wrote Mystery Science Theater published a commentary track (called a Rifftrax: http://www.rifftrax.com) for this last week. It was the first I really heard of the cult following of this movie. It's also a hilarious track, but the movie doesn't need much help.
I wish I could attend the screening, but I had to work! I hope you guys do it again.
