For me the shape of water was the worst film I’ve ever seen because the whole story was just so weird and ridiculous… An alien and a woman getting together.

The worst part about it is that critics at the time were praising the film…

    The Room (2003)

    Have you ever listened to someone complaining about how their ex mistreated them? The whining, the self-pity, the one-sidedness?

    That’s The Room. Written, directed, produced, and starring the guy that’s complaining.

    There’s another, much better movie called Disaster Artist that explains how The Room ever got made in the first place.

      The Room is one of those movies that goes so far round the bend that it comes back round again. It’s so godawful that it becomes it’s own flavor of tragicomically terrible that is, in a way, kinda great.

      It’s definitely in my “bad movies and booze night” rotation. XD

      That’s what captivated me about The Room, it’s an unfiltered view into the mind of an insecure, narcissistic man-child. It frequently and inadvertently borders on comedy, sure, but I mostly found it pretty uncomfortable.

      The Room is better that The Disaster Artist. The first is made with love and caring, is so bad but is good. The second is just pretentious shit.
