THAT The Room, haha. Absolute classic of American cinema, I would recommend it to anyone.

I'd also recommend

Right afterwards. Gives you a new perspective on the whole, uh... experience.

You mean the movie where the woman and her kid were held captive in a small room? That movie was great, I'd give it a 8/10. One of my favourite movies of that year and the book was even better.

That one's called "Room", silly man.

Not to be confused with "The Lost Room", which is a really cool concept done decently well as a tv series.

I think this is my first 0  The description perfectly describes how awful this movie was.

I get why they chose it for the Oscar’s, they need to stay relevant with the Reddit/younger crowd but man this movie was awful.

It was like watching an episode of Rick and morty, which is also a dumpster fire.

I look forward to all the eye rolls, angry face and disagrees I’ll get for this comment. It will fuel me!

 

I mean, enjoy living in your world I guess? You might have similar taste to my parents, who also hated this movie. (My dad also said Mad Max Fury Road was one of the "worst movies he's ever seen". )

I feel the opposite.

The usual Oscar-fare is fine.  Moonlight and The Artist are fine movies.

Would I watch them over a fun genre flick winner like Everything Everywhere?  Hell no.

Yea I like when the oddball movies like this or Parasite get some Oscar heat. These award shows are usually lame and boring and honor movies that I don't really care about.

This was one of the first movies where I felt personally seen... like whatever brand of mental illness I have... this movie gets it.

Tbh if I hadn't seen Fury Road I'd have assumed the same for myself. It's the blueprint for the type of movie that does absolutely nothing for me - purely driven by effects, visuals, violence and action scenes. John Wick is incredibly boring to me, and I thought 300 was incredibly embarrassing. But Fury Road is a damn masterpiece, entertaining from beginning to end!
