... because Tommy Wiseau genuinely believed he was making a masterpiece about the human condition. His complete and utter self-delusion deliciously permeates every scene, icing on the cake to what else the movie screwed up - which was everything.
shareI agree. This was really impressively inept, but The Wiseau just offers an experience unlike any other. I've watched "The Room" numerous times but can't imagine wanting to watch "Birdemic" again--it's duly laughable yet a little boring at the same time, and not awe-inspiringly weird.
The dif between them is that "Birdemic" is an attempt at a standard drama-cum-horror film by someone not bright enough to know how unskilled they are. Whereas "The Room" more than just wildly inept, it's an attempt at....what?! inspirational drama? who knows???? by someone so arrestingly odd you can't even begin to fathom their motivations and mindset. It's not just a movie, or even a spectacularly bad movie, but a bizarro personality cult in celluloid form.
I did like, among other things, the obliviousness with which the characters here do outdoorsy things--hey it's time for a picnic! to go fishing!--when they're smack in the middle of a bird attack epidemic. Like, oops, forgot again--birds fly in the open air! And oh yeah, they've killed all our friends! Silly us!
It was a great film. I love the picnic scene when there are birds walking around all over the place. The characters are just thinking "don't have to worry about those real birds just keep an eye out for the fake animated ones that explode"
Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
