Reminds me of an interview I saw with one of the co-authors of "The Disaster Artist," the book about the making of "The Room," a famously terrible movie. He said that was what made "The Room" so fascinating - it's rare to find a creative work where every single decision was wrong.
- Joeboy 9y agoThat's overstating it IMO - The Room's production values are pretty adequate. The sets are OK, the sound's decently recorded, it has a proper soundtrack by a real composer, the camera's mostly in focus and properly exposed etc. There are plenty of shitty DSLR films with equally bizarre dialogue, terrible acting, flawed structure etc but the unique joy of The Room is that the decent-ish production values sucker you into thinking you're watching a "real" film.
- tatterdemalion 9y agoSimilarly, this automobile is well built despite having every design decision be wrong. There's some distinction between the architecture and the craftmanship - a poorly crafted and poorly architected anything is just a pile of rubble, but a well crafted thing with poor architecture is fascinatingly bizarre.
- apozem 9y agoGreat point. You don't see issues with basic filmmaking like with "Birdemic" - inconsistent audio levels, etc.
