Pure Cheese Presents: The Room - Movie Night and Game Lounge

You haven't seen The Room yet? 

Called "The Citizen Kane of bad movies", this independent production has become the biggest cult movie craze since Rocky Horror. 

Director/Writer/Producer/Leading Man Tommy Wiseau plays Johnny, a rose-sniffing masochist who possesses an alarmingly unnerving giggle, mentors a drug dealing man child, loves doggies, and isn't aware that his best friend is sleeping with his future wife. 

Tommy himself says that you need to see it at least twice to understand it all.
