The Room (2003)

I feel like people have been requesting another trip to the Prince Charles to see this for ages, so here we go. No, it's not one of the screenings with Tommy doing a Q+A, but I've been to one and he's not the most lucid of interviewees (and he now signs merch from the other side of a plastic screen which is weird, albeit kind of on brand).

Anyway, over 20 years on The Room remains probably the most perfect bad movie ever made, filled with simply amazing dialogue and line delivery*. Tommy plays 'Jonny', a kind hearted man who cares for everyone around him, only to be betrayed when his best friend Mark begins an affair with his future wife, Lisa. Then, there's Denny, the local college student Tommy has taken under his wing as well as Lisa's sickly mother Claudette, their amorous friends Mike and Mary, impatient drug dealer Chris R and many more.

And here is (most of) the film on YouTube, if you've never seen it and would like to first watch a version that doesn't have a crowd shouting and hooting over it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqaYIV8Q7c8

Tickets here, I'm in I6. The movie starts at 9pm but we can meet somewhere nearby from 8 for a beer or a scotchka beforehand. If you can still find plastic cutlery anywhere, feel free to bring it along to throw it.
