On August 20th, Martini Media is having a pre-screening party for Tommy Wiseau's cult-classic "The Room" at the Hunter Gatherer Lodge on Capitol Hill. Afterwards, the movie will have a midnight screening at the Egyptian theatre with the legendary Tommy Wiseau himself in attendance.
What is "The Room" you ask? And why should you care? "The Room" is the modern day equivalent to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Anyone with a finger anywhere near the pulse of pop culture understands this. This is an honor the Gods of Film bestow once a generation. There can be only one. And the Room is the chosen one indeed.
A simple blog post cannot do justice to the film's epic craptasticness. And when we say craptasticness we mean solid gold 24 karat craptastic. And it must be experienced in a communal setting in order to be fully appreciated on all levels of being. But if you want a sample of what's to come, a simple "The Room" search on YouTube will help aquatint you with the film's cinematic brilliance.
Just like the ancients gather together in ritual fashion before the hunt, fans too will gather at the Martini Media "Oh Hai" party as part of a communal ritual to prepare our minds and bodies for the experience to come. Woe to those who are unprepared for a close up of the Wiseau in the flesh without some kind of preparation. Therefore, one can join us on Facebook and Twitter and answer trivia questions for plenty of free drink tickets that will certainly most help, especially if you're cute and Tommy asks you back to his hotel for a private "audition" for a role in one of his next cult-classics.
Don't be a motherfuckare. See you at the Party!
