Showerthought: I used to think 'The Room' was just bad, but my friend's 2 AM viewing party changed my mind

He said, 'You're watching it wrong, you're supposed to yell at the screen with everyone,' and we spent the whole movie laughing at the plastic spoons and the weird football scenes. What's another movie that's only fun with a crowd?

But what if a movie is actually just bad? I've been to those yelling parties and it feels like trying to make a boring party fun. Some things are better to just skip.

Plastic spoons are the best part of that movie.

Used to agree with parker_sullivan about just skipping bad movies. Then a friend made me watch one with a group that just tore it apart. The yelling and jokes about stuff like plastic spoons made it a blast. It's not about the movie being good, it's about the shared experience of how bad it is. That changed my whole view on it.
