Film: "The Room: Live" (Top Pick) Every year, Hollywood produces scores of bad movies that are successful despite their hackneyed plots and poor acting. Very few of these movies are successful because they're bad. "The Room" is an exception. The camera work is shaky. The dialogue is atrocious. The love-triangle plot is trite. And the lead is none other than Tommy Wiseau, a strangely accented hair metal look-alike who's also the film's director, producer, and executive producer. Entertainment Weekly estimated that the film, which was heavily promoted with TV and billboard ads that compared it to the work of playwright Tennessee Williams, grossed a grand total of $1,900 during opening weekend in 2003. Nine years later, "The Room" screens to theaters packed with rambunctious fans who love how bad it is. This weekend, Wiseau himself will make an appearance. Sept. 16-17 at AFI Silver, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring, MD. Phone: 301.495.6720. Web: http://www.afi.com/silver
