I bought it as I thought it was a horror movie but it was pretty hard work

Set your expectations low

I watched it because one of my favorite little known actresses was in it. Her name's Cynthia Murell, and her part was so small, and she was dressed down so much, I could barely find her. I agree with your assessment. Far from great, less than good.

Continuing with the 60s Bond films, Thunderball. Martin Fry's cover of the theme from about 10 years back was rather good.

The Room





I've reviewed the movie before on this forum, I'm pretty sure I went over the plot...or lack thereof. June 27, 2003 was the release day of this movie, ran for 2 weeks in an LA theater so it would be eligible for submission to the Academy. 15 years later, a yearly tradition for me is to watch the movie on June 27, it's also my first viewing of the film in 2018, and my 10th overall viewing. Keep in mind that I first watched this masterpiece in January 2015. 10 viewings, 3 years, in my consumption of movies that is simply unheard of, though I have watched Die Hard about 10 times in the last 2 years, but it's different. I still like The Room more than Die Hard, but it's a preference thing, by no means I'm saying The Room is a better cinematic piece than Die Hard.


Anyways, I'll talk about my experience watching it for the 10th time. I'm happy to say it was different than previous times. Actually, I feel I have to, the plot. Tommy Wiseau is Johnny, he has a future wife, they never use the term “fiance,” which I theorize is because it has a French connotation and Tommy basically has bad blood with France. Anyways, his future wife is Lisa, played by Juliette Danielle. She cheats on him randomly with Mark, played by Greg Sestero, who has progressively become my new MVP of the movie. I'm quoting more Mark lines now, such as...





There's also things such as breast cancer, drug deal gone bad, chocolate fetish, football tossing, attempted murder, phone tapping, lots of sex, lots of male sex moans, suicide, this movie is just loaded with drama, you wouldn't believe it. All of this contained in 99 minutes, how is this possible?


It isn't, things just get raised and dropped, but in Tommy's mind, it's showing real life, this movie is a mirror. You look into it and you see yourself, yes, it's true, it's real American movie. It has the passion of Tennessee Williams. Tommy Wiseau is real American guy. Intentional grammar issues in that paragraph.


First of all, first viewing, laughed my ass off. The obvious things really, the stuff you see for the first time and are flabbergasted at, and the divide is you either laugh after that shock, or you are annoyed, bored, any negative reaction. I laughed. The beautiful thing about the movie is how it wows me in different ways in multiple views. After reading The Disaster Artist, the book Greg Sestero made that chronicled his friendship with Tommy and production of The Room, I looked into more aspects of The Room, it enhanced my viewing experience, this took over my 2016 year. In 2015, I watched the movie 3 times before reading the book, well, technically listening to the audiobook, but you get the idea. 2016, all this new knowledge, new things to look out for, I loved it, the same foundation of laughing at the bad stuff on the surface. Now, there were more things to laugh at, the book exposed more. 2017, I've listened to the audiobook so much, watched the movie enough to where new things had to be discovered. Surprisingly, new things were discovered, new things to laugh at. A big part of the 2017 experience was laughing at Denny's wardrobe, being painfully obvious of resembling 90s clothing and coming from a thrift store. The whole wardrobe is wrought with thrift store outfits, as mentioned in the book, but Denny's was so obvious and appalling that I laughed. This carried over into Wednesday's viewing, in particular when Denny entered the scene following Mike (Scott Holmes, credited as Mike Holmes because Tommy forgot Scott's real name) and Michelle's (Robyn Paris, a beauty) chocolate sexcapade. He was wearing a shirt with a collared one over it, green, brown slacks, belt, and the shirts were tucked in. I just died! It's so fucking funny, Denny looks like he should've been an intern on Home Improvement, it's so bad.
Back to 2017, as I mentioned before, Mark became the new MVP, I started laughing more at his lines, his facial expressions and overall obliviousness to Lisa cornering him into sex scenes. He was so blissfully unaware and always surprised of Lisa springing love and sex into the mix that you would think the man is really slow in the head. Or, as Tommy would say when describing Denny...retarded. Yes, the star, producer, executive producer, writer, and director of this masterpiece is not into the idea of political correctness. Wednesday's viewing, the Mark love carried over, pretty much everything carried over. I laughed at the end of almost every sentence, something that sprung up in 2016. I laughed harder at certain lines than I did in my first 3 viewings in 2015, the movie just basically gets better each couple viewings.


2018 brought something barely touched on before, but now I am pretty much bound to notice more due to covering a lot of other ground. Facial expressions. I've basically hooked onto lines and certain dramatic actions in the movie that facial expressions, something I've grown to look at a lot, currently doing so on my Power Rangers binge watching, became something insignificant in the movie. This time, they are very significant, I found myself paying more attention to facial expressions after laughing my ass off at lines, and only ending up laughing at these expressions. Some clear ones I've always noticed, like Mark's obliviousness to Lisa's advances, Tommy's interesting open mouth reactions, Lisa's scowls, some Denny ones, specifically when Lisa and Claudette confront him about the Chris-R deal gone bad, and most easy to spot, Mike's facial expressions upon getting a supposed blowjob by Michelle. These not only became funnier, but I just picked up more. Claudette's disappointed looks, Claudette looking tired most of the time too. I then thought back to the book and Greg mentioning how Carolyn Minnot, who played Claudette, was in her early 60s at the time of filming, and drove 2 hours round trip to and from the studio. My grandma is in her 60s, she can't drive that long and she knows this. It's admirable she made the trips, but now I can see that they really took a toll on her. Add on how notoriously hot the studio was, they filmed in the LA summer time, 2002. Lack of air conditioning, and even water, which if you brought up the latter with Tommy, he would get angry, the case of the original Michelle. Also, the book mentions how she passed out from the heat and exhaustion, so, what a trooper. They all were.


Facial expressions man, Michelle, holy fuck. I never got a boner watching this movie, but I admit to kind of warming up seeing Michelle's facial expressions. The smiles, again, easy to catch in early viewings, she has an amazing smile. This viewing, I was so fixated on her face, she is just beautiful, and she still is. On the flipside, I am being a bit mean, I respect Juliette Danielle for playing the worst written female character ever in fiction, Lisa, but man, some facial expressions had her looking like a pig. The wardrobe, her not being Tommy's wildly ideal image of an all-American beauty, so many things working against her, that any instance of her looking ugly, is not really her fault, but it's still a bit painful to point these out. Some facial expressions were funny, and I could tell she had some semblance of fun at times, but damn, she was truly set up to fail. She persevered, arguably the MVP of the movie as a result.


This brings me to a scene that I died at during this viewing. It's a small scene on paper, Lisa and Michelle talking about Johnny, basically reiterating the plot, which is stupid, but that's The Room for you. Not in love with Johnny anymore, he didn't get his promotion at the bank, Johnny supposedly hit her, she's sleeping with Mark. Of course, Juliette's neck was a major visual nightmare in that scene, a bulge coming out of her neck, due to the awkward seating she was in as well as that painfully unflattering and tight shirt she wore in that scene. The book covered that, which I never noticed before. I never noticed the notorious continuity errors, the book revealed that. So, I knew it already. This viewing is special too because I actually went back to certain scenes, to laugh at different parts because sometimes there were so much to laugh at, the focus can be on one thing, I missed something, go back, the focus is on another thing, laugh at that. That's what I did for this scene, first viewing, focused on the neck. Second, the wine glasses, the continuity error being how Lisa's wine glass is on the table, in her hand, then she's taking a sip from it, and it moves in a magical pace. One shot, on the table, next shot, putting the glass down, next shot she's drinking from it. It's so wild, and this time, I died! I couldn't handle how random and inconsistent those shots were, despite the dialogue carrying on. You could tell that scene featured a lot of takes, and neglectful editing didn't help. I say neglectful, with the excuse of Tommy possibly letting it stay in, as he wanted every part of the footage shot in the film, to be included in the final cut, going to battles with the editor, Eric Chase, over this. The only battle Tommy lost in that was cutting down the first sex scene with Lisa (that too having a continuity error where Johnny is not wearing a blazer in the scene before sex time, then having it on as they started stripping), originally it was 6 minutes long, he conceded, and you got a 4 minute abomination instead. Recycled footage and some unused shots made up their second sex scene, classic.


New lines got my laughter going. Part of it being not remembering them. When Mark and Lisa were putting on their shirts after a knock on the door ruins their attempt at a third sex scene, that being thanks to Michelle, that lovely peach asked, after saying XYZ (eXamine Your Zipper), “What can I do to help?” I burst out laughing, the connotation in that line being very sexual, like she wanted to make this into a threesome.


Something new in this viewing as well, I boosted the volume with Media Player Classic. There's a “Normalize” setting which boosted the volume, already at 100%, I guess to 200% or something. Bottom line, it was louder. I enjoyed that, and one thing about it was it made me hear some things better, and one in particular, I don't think a viewer is supposed to hear. When Mike rushes back into the apartment, which is weird, Johnny and Lisa allowing this other couple to fuck in their home, he tries to retrieve his underwear, which Claudette caught and she and Lisa laughed about it. As he bolts out after getting the underwear, there is a certain bit of audio that plays, which I believed to be someone behind the camera yelling something. I couldn't make out what was said, but I truly believed that was basically a botch in the movie. Little things that multiple viewings expose as well, you can see parts where Tommy, and even Greg, break the fourth wall. The former, the most obvious being on the rooftop, before he announces that he and Lisa are expecting a child (turned out to be a lie, because Lisa said it would be interesting, which is weird), Tommy walks into center stage, but before talking, he looks down, right hand corner of the screen, smiles and waves. He's not waving at a midget, that's obviously crew members off camera, and the gesture Tommy made was a signal of him being ready to film. By that point, the crew just wanted to get the film done, and didn't care about maintaining professionalism or continuity, and obviously Tommy didn't pick up on this during the editing process. At closer viewing, Tommy breaks the 4th wall as he slowly walked from staircase to phone, to bug it with a tape recorder after he freaking overhead Lisa telling her mom that she's sleeping with someone else. Why bug the phone? He already knows! Wow. Anyways, a quick moment, Tommy's right eye looks towards the viewer, not at the viewer, but you get the idea, in the general direction. I imagine him looking at someone and they are giving him a hand gesture to keep walking, no cutting to be done here. Also, they showed the whole phone tapping, which featured Tommy randomly busting out a yard sale prehistoric tape recorder and plugging it into a phone, a process that is unnecessary to show, but Tommy was adamant in showing. He was also keen on smiling at his phone tapping as well as making a Blue Steel impression during all this. Are these the faces a man who just found out about his partner's cheating ways, should be making? Nope, but it's The Room bitch!


Greg broke the fourth wall during the birthday singing they do for Tommy. You can see Greg looking off to the right, laughing, I imagine laughing with some crew guys about how stupid this film is. Again, no maintaining professionalism or continuity, just get the shot. Also, when Tommy forced him back during their second pitiful fight scene, Greg legitimately hit his head on the doorknob, he looks up to his right. I consider that a 4th wall break, he's looking at a crew member with some surprise, that wasn't planned. Tommy was fuming that scene, he soon after shoved Greg Ellery as Steven, who replaced Kyle Vogt's Peter, and yelled at him to shut up.


Steven's a hoot. His name is never said in the film, you needed the book or the end credits to tell you what his name was. Kyle Vogt had to leave the film for another project, Tommy assured him that the movie would finish before that other project, but when the film's production slugged on and on, Kyle had no choice, he had to leave. Tommy interpreted that as Kyle blatantly sabotaging his project, so goodbye Vogt, his last scene interestingly being him tripping from trying to catch a football...while in a tuxedo, all the other guys...were in tuxedos...playing football. Steven was given Peter's remaining lines. It all worked out well, Ellery's magnificent delivery of lines were legendary, such as “When is the baby due?”


I ate dinner during this viewing, I was super hungry and just blasted through the meal in 26 minutes. At that time, the third sex scene played. Yeah, 3 sex scenes in the first 30 minutes of the movie, awful. And I'll never lighten up on the 4th full sex scene. Mark and Lisa, it's awful because of the editing. Tommy forced Eric to include that scene, even though he questioned if the scene should even be wedged into an awkward spot in the movie. Awkward spot because it comes during a time where Lisa is supposed to be getting ready for the party, which the movie shows that she's super slow at it. A broom in hand in one scene, then a nighttime transitional bit, meaning a day passed. Next day, she is wearing the same fucking outfit, with the broom in hand. So you learn two things: she is super slow at cleaning, and she wears the same stuff for over a day. Here's what makes this even worse, the wardrobe Mark and Lisa wear during that sex scene is the same one they wear during the party scene which comes 20 minutes later. That scene should've been placed near the end, and it would've fit, replacing their smooching on the couch, to which Steven catches them. It would've been more explosive if that sex scene happened, Steven walks into the living room, sees nobody. This sex scene takes place in the bedroom. He hears the sex noises, and goes upstairs, boom, caught. Or, keep the scenes, have Lisa keep the door closed, “trapping” herself and Mark, cut to the sex scene being setup and then done, cut to them back in the living room, the kissing happens, dub over the lines to make that scene-to-scene transition, maintaining continuity, Steven walks in, done. Dude, I'm not a filmmaker, that I'm making these simple suggestions shows how incompetent the filmmaking in this movie is. The dubbing, come on, most of the movie is dubbed, wouldn't be a problem. I thought about how awkward dubbing the sex scenes must have been for Juliette and especially Greg. Tommy had no problems clearly, and he really pushed the male moans to the foreground, where Lisa's are secondary, in the background. That 4th full sex scene had the most Lisa moans, but it didn't have Tommy, so it's not so surprising. Yeah, I really don't like that sex scene, it simply didn't belong. That's really the only legitimate complaint I have about a movie where complaints can be made up the ass, but I let slide because they're hilarious.


Tommy being notoriously against product placement, it's funny how Disney got a bit of shine, and no lawsuit over it, probably because they didn't watch the film. Why would they? See here.





The laughing I did throughout the movie was very loud. Also, very tiring. I don't live alone, at one point, I put my hands over my mouth after every laugh-out-loud moment, thinking that people heard me. The tiring aspect came very quick, by the end of the movie, I was super drained, and I was already going into the movie a bit foggy, I didn't get enough sleep. This sure woke me up. The laughing was a bit painful, I felt my throat tightening up and air flow was not happening so naturally. I laughed myself out of breath and into some struggling parts. I'm proud to say that, it means the movie made me laugh in ways no other movie has. Saying that though, it makes me want to marathon the other movies in my fave five of shit: Samurai Cop, Raw Force, No Retreat No Surrender and Miami Connection. I want to laugh so hard again and those movies do that, The Room edging them all mind you, but still. I did watch those 4 movies on the same day last year, I think with The Room as well. It was awesome. I did it on July and contemplated making it a yearly thing. July's coming soon, so...yeah.


There was a part of me wondering if I was forcing myself to laugh, but I think everything was genuine. It's just that I laughed in such an exaggerated manner compared to my general laughing that someone would see that and think I'm faking it. Nah, this movie is just so special in getting that reaction out of me. I was in tears too by the way, had to take off my glasses and wipe the tears away.


I think I mentioned this in a previous review of the movie, but something that always got me was during the football throwing in the alley scene, where Johnny and Denny in particular are tossing the ball to each other from a large distance of 3 feet, with Mike who is about 6 feet from Johnny, maybe more from Denny, Mike apologized that “you had to see that.” He meant that Denny had to see that chocolate sexcapade. News flash goober, Denny didn't see it, he walked in after the two left, which came following Lisa and Claudette's intrusion. The latter had the perfect word for them, “characters.” Claudette complained about men...and men...and how Lisa should marry Johnny because of the financial support, love is not important, blah blah blah. This particular complaint though, I'm definitely in agreement over. The point is, Denny basically did not witness the budding sex scene, he didn't barge in with Lisa and Claudette. He also didn't see “me underwears,” as Mike said when he relayed the scene to Tommy...about 15 minutes after the damn scene was shown, come on now, laughing so much doesn't make me forget these things. That apology Mike made to Denny, and Denny responding like he saw that stuff, made no sense. Look at me complaining about the lack of sense in just one scene of The Room, I should be a critic. Denny responded also by saying he doesn't “study” like that. Again, he wasn't in that scene, Mike and Michelle fibbed that they were studying, doing homework, Lisa already knew what was up, Claudette being very skeptical. Denny doesn't study like that, I would hope not, the guy is such a creep. “I just like to watch you guys.” That little gem when he crashed Lisa and Johnny's pillow fight, previously he said if he could join the two upstairs, and then he ate an apple. The apple eating was Tommy's suggestion, saying it was a “sexual symbol.” Yeah, the sexual deviantness of Denny was intentional, at least to an extent.


Note, I've had to edit mentions of Tommy into Johnny, I kept mixing the two up, which is natural considering that the two are the same.


Kind of running out of things to say, I feel like going down the character list, it would illustrate Tommy's brilliant writing, and how his intentions of this being pure character drama are realized.


Johnny – Uhhh, he's a banker. He had a new client, at the bank, make a lot of money. The barbecue chicken was delicious rice (he said that verbatim in a scene with Mark and Peter, fucking hilarious!). His Lisa is great when he can get it, he said that too. That's something I thought about in this viewing, Johnny doesn't seem fussed with sex. During that poor excuse of acting drunk, eating pizza that was plain cheese instead of the complex combination Lisa ordered (half Canadian bacon with pineapple, half artichoke with pesto, light on the cheese), Lisa said for Johnny to make love with her. He groans, and she said that he owes her. It makes me think Johnny only bangs because that's what he's supposed to do to maintain a healthy relationship. Again, this stems from Tommy's own thoughts on human emotions, psychology, life. Did you know he has a degree of psychology from Laney College, a community college in California? Yeah, fucking certified man. In the Peter scene that eventually included Mark, he complained that he and Lisa had not made love in a while. Dude, you were getting it a lot before! My Lisa is great when I can get it. What the hell are you talking about? You got it every time! It's so weird, one can interpret those complaints of Johnny being a bit of a hounddog, but now I think of it as him trying to maintain a facade of a healthy, human relationship. Not getting pussy, not being a human male. So when he groaned during the drunk scene, that's his honesty showing through, drunkenness exposing that. I thought this through. Basically, Johnny is what Tommy envisions himself, not realizing that the end result was a very alien character, not realizing that he is an alien character. I have a feeling he accepts that now, but back then, as he made the movie, he really viewed himself as something of an archetype, when he's just his own being. Or, as he put it, “bean.” That always cracked me up, when he said “human bean” to Denny in the famous rooftop section of the film. The rooftop not being a real rooftop, just a set constructed outside the Birns & Sawyer studio. No Mickey Mouse stuff, this is real Hollywood movie. Rambling on and on, but I hope the point is clear.


Lisa – I said she is the worst written female character in fiction, and that is simply because she is written from a very chauvinistic point of view, as well as someone who simply doesn't understand women. I'll get more on a certain direction that can be taken in soon. All Lisa does is fuck men, complain, drink wine, and talk about being so manipulative in a positive way. These four things she repeats ad nauseam. Four full sex scenes, albeit 2 that are basically the same, kissing-only scenes with Mark that almost led to more sex scenes. Johnny in the end of the movie calls her a tramp, she is written to be that. I get it, a writer creates someone to be a certain person, and when that person is called out for their character, you agree because the writing makes it so. I'm not saying Lisa is a slut based on a pure belief, something I thought of myself, it's because the writing makes her out to be, how can I truly disagree? It's basically fact, you can't deny fact. Maybe be all modern and go into “alternative facts,” but that's just a joke. It's sad that these things are fact, Tommy constructed the movie to be very fact based, what he wrote is law, but he also wanted to make it so people could think about stuff, see reflections of themselves, see life, put into movie form. He didn't do that, he made some very narrow-minded decisions, and constructed a character that is objectively horrible, to the point where subjectivity is a 100% match, or hell, it doesn't exist. You must hate this character, hate this woman, and since this is Tommy's views on humans, Lisa is basically a reflection of his views on women. Knowing the book, yes he had a bad relationship, and the woman in that was basically the framework for Lisa's conception, but it shows that narrow-minded thinking, he makes it like an overwhelming majority, if not all women are like that. Mark's line in the rooftop scene about women being sometimes too smart, flat out stupid, or evil, is basically Tommy's thoughts on women. The “too smart” I equate to being manipulative, cunning, which does bleed into evil. Hell, kind of bleeds into stupid, maybe him saying women can embody those three traits. The stupidity in Lisa's sudden betrayal of Johnny for petty reasons, the smartness in terms of playing Johnny around like a basketball and she's Lebron James, and evil in just being...a very spiteful bitch, she deliberately wants to hurt Johnny. That's not making a convincing villain, that's making a statement on a species, a very bad one.


Mark – I think I'm loving him more and more because he's just so oblivious. I feel like it's Tommy's way of sending up his buddy Greg, it's probably how Tommy views Greg, after all, the role of Mark was written for him. Contrary to The Disaster Artist, the movie version, Sestero didn't want to play Mark, but he was persuaded with cash, simplest explanation for that. Greg's acting, which was barely acting, basically fit into this character, weird as it is to say. Because of that, I'd say Greg was one of the best actors in this film. If someone played Mark with passion, drive, seriousness, it would've died on its ass. Perhaps the original Mark (whose name was Dan, but Tommy kept calling him Don) was going to have those traits, and thus it was a good thing he was booted out, unceremoniously. Mark is a soulless character, Greg acted with no soul for the part, see what I mean? At first, yeah, it is what it is, but on recent viewings, I've grown to love it and find it funny. Certain line deliveries where it sounded like Greg was giving emotion, stand out for different reasons, thus offering laughs on a different level. Greg describes the character well in his book, Mark is just a head, no story to him at all. He did try to add some backstory, that he was an undercover narcotics officer, it would explain his first scene where he is in a car, wearing sunglasses, telling Lisa multiple times that he's very busy. Perhaps he was in the middle of a stakeout. After taking out Chris-R, Mark said “C'mon, it's clear.” Greg said that sounded like cop language, which it does. Clear, the scene is, the bad guy is taken away, lets move out. Tommy didn't accept this, of course, because it wasn't his idea, simple. Funnily enough, the makers of The Room flash game on Newgrounds, added that narcotics officer backstory to the game, before Greg made that story public. Also, a new revelation for me, during that rooftop scene where he said that it's clear, I feel like Greg was deliberately making Clint Eastwood looking facial expressions, namely the squinted eyes, angry eyebrows, nostrils almost flaring. Do you feel lucky? The parts where Mark expresses convincing emotion was based on real life annoyances from Tommy. Him kicking the table and chair in his rooftop scene with Peter, brought on by Tommy complaining about the scene's lack of chemistry and emotion, so Greg delivered just to bring the damn scene to an end. The famous “Leave your stupid comments in your pocket scene,” Greg did not like that line, wanted to say something different. Tommy pushed back, told Greg to show some anger dammit, and he did. In that respect, Tommy's directing was helpful, he also pissed Dan Janjigian off, which improved his already stellar Chris-R. Back to the rooftop scene with Peter, Greg ad-libbed “fuck” in there, again, Tommy pissed him off, magic was made. Take those nuggets aside, Mark is just a fascinatingly hollow character, Tommy's poor understanding of his friend for 4 years at that point, now 20.


Denny – still the creepiest motherfucker in the movie. I gave some examples of that, I also mentioned Tommy's description of Denny being that he's retarded. Denny is basically the product of Tommy's desire to be a hero. The Chris-R scene, he made that deliberately so that he had an action hero moment, save Denny from drugs! That was weird, Denny owed Chris-R money for drugs he bought off him. Chris-R basically treats his business like a loan-based deal. This viewing, I tried piecing together Denny's words to Lisa and Claudette following Chris-R being taken away. My guess is he doesn't actually take drugs, he said “It's nothing like that,” which means he believes they view him as a drug addict. On the contrary, he was selling drugs, basically a middle man. He said that he needed some money to pay off some stuff. Essentially being loaned drugs, he sells them, makes a profit, pay off Chris-R and have some money for himself. The question is where are the drugs? He said he doesn't have them anymore. Did he sell them and got that money, or did he just dispose of them? Or is he really lying, he is a drug addict, and he took it all for himself, he got high off his own supply? The need to pay off Chris-R, the fact that in the scene where he came in with the fucking tucked in shirt, this being after Mike and Michelle left the apartment, he asked for a cup of sugar and a stick of butter. I laughed at that, thinking he was trying to cook up some drugs. Anyways, that implied he's poor, he has to borrow from Johnny and Lisa. It's revealed that Johnny paid for Denny's college tuition. Yeah, Denny plans to go to college, finish it, get a good job, marry Elizabeth (who?) and have kids with her. This, after saying he loves Lisa, and Tommy saying “Don't worry about it, Lisa loves you too, as a person, as a human bean.” A wrench in my conclusion making is Denny also said “things got mixed up.” So, did he lose the drugs? So, that means, no money, hence needing tuition paid, needing to cook up fake drugs (like the fake cocaine in Boogie Nights), it's all making sense. Look at me making sense of all this! Anyways, Denny, yeah, he's such a bizarre character. You can write an essay about him, I basically already did. In one scene, he asked if he could kiss Lisa, but then he said he was kidding. Yeah right. Phillip Haldiman, who played Denny, played his role pretty seriously. I mean really, almost all of them did, to varying degrees of success. However, with Denny, between exaggerated crying and even his enthusiasm in doing the cheep cheep chicken noise (which Johnny did a couple times in the movie past the halfway mark), it's obviously the result of a determined actor. Poor Phillip, I say that also bearing in mind that he's aged the most out of the other cast members, even the oldest of the bunch, Carolyn. He looks 10 years older. He was 26 at the time of filming, older than Greg, Juliette, most of the cast really. It's a mystery what age Denny was supposed to be. Judging by his college talk, I assume he's 16-18, but sure doesn't look like it. Manchild personified.


Earlier I mentioned about what Tommy's views on women and such could imply. Well, being gay. It's a longstanding argument and theory that Tommy Wiseau is gay, and with even Greg mentioning in the book about homoerotic undertones in the movie, it stands to reason Johnny's reliance on one woman, and reliance on multiple male friends, imply a hidden homosexual orientation. Mark and Johnny being best friends, something repeated ad nauseam, the fact Johnny is of a certain age, and his male friends are much younger than him? Tommy gravitates towards younger people, throw in Lisa obviously being younger. Also, younger men in particular. Him and Greg, an unlikely friendship, Tommy being well over a decade older than him. Yeah...I'll add that his current assistant, or rather, righthand man, is a young male named Raul. You can see him in the horrible show Tommy made, The Neighbors, he's like Denny, but with a basketball, not a football. Obnoxious fucker. Look at Tommy's underwear commercial on Youtube, he shows men playing basketball, Raul being one of them, both guys are topless. Yeah...


Claudette – pretty much an older version of Lisa, with a “been there done that” mentality. Tommy's viewpoint of women's viewpoint on men. Basically, he thinks women secretly hate men, use men, abuse men, and Claudette pretty much is open about manipulating men, at the same time, using them as toys, so when she says for Lisa not to dump Johnny, she's saying not to give up the toy, the meal ticket. Given the repeating narrative from her, if she was in more scenes, her already being in a lot, she'd easily be the worst female character in fiction, beating out Lisa. She's so unlikable, but it's to a funny side of the spectrum. Lisa is a different story. Don't get me wrong, everyone in this movie makes m laugh, but Lisa's stuff made me laugh the least, you get the idea. Claudette's saving grace, funnily enough, was revealing she had breast cancer, then moving on like it's no big deal, along with Lisa. She's an unlikable character, but Tommy unintentionally made scenes like that, openings to laugh in spite of her. Interestingly enough, noticing now how tired Minnot was, it does fit into her character, a woman weathered by years of relationships with men, including Lisa's dad, which she even said she did not love. Way to crush your daughter's spirit.


Chris-R – I'm just repeating myself from previous reviews, easily the best performance in the movie, taking away Greg's perfect shoe fit into Mark. While that's a perfect fit, this one is as well, but with a burst of energy. Greg worked as Mark because of mostly not acting. Dan Janjigian worked as Chris-R because of acting, doing his damnedest. Consider that he wasn't an actor before, he had gotten off the 2002 Winter Olympics as a member of the Armenian Bobsledding team. He prepared by reading acting books and went method, swearing and being very intimidating off set. He took the role seriously and didn't falter. This is screen time that lasts all of 3 minutes, and he killed it. That is talent. I'm serious, no joking, he killed it. “I HAVEN'T GOT 5 FUCKING MINUTES!” and he whipped out the gun and forced Denny to look into the ground, scared for his life. No bullshit, this man could've made a living as a heavy, a henchman in various movies. He was tall, very fit, intimidating look. He's a beast. All the respect to Janjigian.


Mike – I pretty much said all about this goober already. It's obvious he hammed it up deliberately, he knew what he was in for and had fun with it. That took me a couple viewings to realize that, because originally I didn't find him funny. Now I do. The character is just a very goofy one, very weak too, Mark hands him the football in that alley scene, and he reacts by pushing himself back and collapsing against trash cans. Despite being a pretty buff guy, with a hairy chest that I just called a woman's fuzzy pubic area, he was as intimidating as an Ewok, as Greg said in his book. Going from not liking him to now actively laughing at him, he is the most improved character in The Room...that itself is a joke, but what can you do?


Michelle – Sexy! Beautiful! Lovely! Ah! I have a feeling this was Tommy focusing more on the women being stupid angle. She's kind of goofy, getting into a sex scene with Mike that involves feeding and eating chocolate off each others bodies. There's a scene in the party section where she and Mike have some cake, note this is Johnny's birthday party. Michelle feeds him cake, Mike is about to feed her some, but eats it for himself, the idiot. Their relationship is built on a food fetish basically. That silly “XYZ” line to Mark. She kind of had an airy quality to her, like she floats into space sometimes, unable to grasp Lisa's point of view. In hindsight, being a dedicated friend to an awful woman like Lisa, there is something respectable about that. I'm kind of exaggerating praise on her, I just find her so lovely. The actress I mean, her personality and happy energy just shines through the otherwise minor character. I wish she showed her boobs. Perv me talking, the only nudity you get is some Lisa boobs, which are decent, and lots of man ass, courtesy of Tommy Wiseau. Michelle boobs with her smiling, fuck, boner maker. A missed opportunity.


Johnny Part 2 – I needed to go back because I did miss something about the character. More or less elaborating, he was made to be perfect. A pure victim. I think I mentioned this in previous reviews, Tommy wrote his own character to be constantly praised. He sated his own ego, Claudette's only male compliments were towards Johnny, even though she also endorsed riding his financial coattails. Perhaps this ego trip is not foreign to auteurs who also act in their pieces. Regardless, it absolutely hurts Tommy's intended messages and conveying of themes because he made himself this spotless character. How can I feel bad about Johnny? Tommy's conception of The Room came after he and Greg watched The Talented Mr. Ripley, and he mixed and matched the main characters from that movie to form his 3 main characters (Johnny, Mark, Lisa). The problem though is his perception of the movie was a bit warped. In the end, Johnny was basically a combination of the charismatic Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law) and the victim aspect of Tom Ripley (Mark Damon...I mean, Matt Damon). I thank Greg for making those descriptions, though I think I would've made something close to that since I know the movie, and I enjoy it too. He said Lisa was the manipulative, dark side of Tom Ripley, which I definitely see. For Mark, which he didn't mention, I'd say it's, I guess, Gwynneth Paltrow's character. She's just in the middle of it, and is led on by Ripley, Mark being led on by Lisa. There's that, but mostly, Mark's just his own hollow character, oddly enough how Tommy views his buddy Greg. Some of Mark's lines were actually Tommy-edited versions of things Greg actually said to him in the past. Just some proof of Tommy pulling from real life, but as Greg mentioned, he realized that his friendship with Tommy was the most human relationship Tommy had in a long time, probably ever. In that respect, without Greg, perhaps this movie, if it was made, would've been more soulless? Just a thought. On the other hand, without Greg, the movie would not have been made. Tommy credits Greg as much basically, that he never could've done the project without Greg. Oh, and an easy note about Tommy's ego trip as Johnny, his man ass. Need I say more? He even said, and it's in The Disaster Artist, that he needs to show his ass to sell the movie. He really said that. So I guess his ass is the reason the movie during its initial 2 week theater run, grossed all of $1800. That makes sense.


Peter – I mean, he's the psychologist, always playing psychologist. Tommy's attempt at showing off his degree in psychology, how deep. Peter's words are not profound at all, and it's basically words of advice from someone who has never given advice before. “People are people,” come on! In one scene, he's surprised that Lisa would cheat on Johnny. The next scene, the rooftop one with Mark, he calls Lisa a sociopath, incapable of loving anyone. Meanwhile he's criticizing Mark for smoking pot. Yeah, Mark smokes pot, which he has stashed in an animal cracker box hidden in the roof. That was an aspect Greg wanted explained as part of his narcotics officer backstory. That didn't happen, so you get this aspect as completely random. Peter disappears, as I explained already, so his character could've made a more lasting impact, and a more sensible one actually. Steven was so random and his acting was worse than Peter. The scene where Steven caught Mark and Lisa kissing was added in, if Peter stayed, that scene would not have happened, as its purpose was to establish Steven as being aware of this tryst. Still, Peter's lines in the rest of the movie went to this man. So let's close the book on Peter for now...


Steven – these two are just tied together, so naturally I went into Steven talk before this section. Enough to where there isn't much to say further. Greg Sestero's the one to thank for Greg Ellery being cast, as he liked his oddball personality. Ellery shared a story where he had a boil on his leg, popped it, and tiny spiders came out of it. He rode onto set in a loud Harley. It's funny these strange features about him didn't really bleed into this bland character. Line delivery is a different story, some comically bad stuff. A crew member who took over as the pseudo-script supervisor, Byron, responded to “When is the baby due” with a comment that it was the worst acting he ever saw. Hehehe! Sestero made a great point about Steven, that he was The Room personified. A random character, appearing randomly, contributing to the odd nature of the movie. He went as far as to say Steven saved the ending of The Room. It's hard to disagree. The movie had thrown so much at the viewer, including the kitchen sink, it was coming down after the 71 minute mark. At the final act, they basically had another sink to throw, following that, even more stuff to throw, but those in particular were worked out ahead of time. Steven was the monkey in the wrench essentially. An aside, I just learned “monkey in the wrench” was apparently first used in Die Hard. I can't seem to escape mentioning that movie, much like I can't escape mentioning this film. All this stuff said on Steven, it would've been funny if he was in the final scene with Mark, Lisa, and Denny. He probably would've said “The atomic bomb went off.” His famous line was “I feel like I'm sitting on an atomic bomb waiting for it to go off.” Classic.


The ginger looking guy – Yeah, don't you know? There was an extra in the party section that has a classic line.





Welp, in trying not to talk about the plot, I basically gave the plot by going all over the place with scenes and focusing on character discussions. Thus it becomes hard what else to talk about. Also, something I could've fitted into an earlier discussion, now is put here randomly. Mark and Lisa's first sex scene on the staircase, which was weird because it's just kissing, not even the pansy thrusting that Mark would do in their second sex scene (he moved so awkwardly and Greg did not want to remove his jeans during these scenes, plus Tommy added that second sex scene when originally Greg was slated for one). There is a moment that has made me laugh in the last couple viewings, including this one. Pay attention to Lisa's face, it looks like she's getting pleasured down south, but where does Mark come from?





I can't help but just cover this movie again and again, surely that says something about how I feel about it. Even though I had some new experiences, noticed facial expressions and such, the general reaction is the same, pure joy and laughter. I didn't really cover Johnny's meltdown though. Well, after 2 identical fights with Mark, he's fed up wit dis whirl, and he overhears Lisa having a phone chat with Mark. Interesting nuggets in that conversation such as “You're the sparkle of my life” by Lisa and “Why don't you ditch this creep, I don't like him anymore” and “I want your body” by Mark. By the way, Mark sounds like a whiny California boy at times. The “I don't like him anymore,” the “I just saw you, what are you talking about?” line. Also, at the very end, he just said “I don't love you anymore,” closer to just a whiny emo teen. It's very funny, and it's a new dimension in my quoting of The Room. I love doing those inflections and exaggerating them. Despite the audience being able to hear a good chunk of this phone conversation, and thus Johnny being able to listen to it, from him locked in the bathroom, ear to the door, Johnny felt the need to bust out a tape. Remember the tape recorder? Tommy does not want you to forget that, it's his technical wizardry on display. He plays back the phone conversation, which was unnecessary, same nuggets said and all that. It always confused me because people kept saying the tape playback was of a different conversation Lisa and Mark had. Perhaps it was like that in the theatrical cut? My version is the blu-ray one, and I checked the DVD version and it's the same, nothing's different. I've tried listening to it closely, but no difference. I think because people misheard the conversation the first time, and thus assume the tape playback is of a different chat, when it's really the same one. Then again, Greg mentioned in the book that there were differences in these two versions of the conversation in the script and nobody bothered correcting the discrepancies. So, I don't know, in my opinion, they're the same.


Lisa called Johnny a little prick, which struck a harder nerve in my opinion than previous times I've heard it. I feel like Lisa also called out Johnny's manhood...as in he has a small dick. Lisa leaves Johnny to have the most nonchalant meltdown ever. Tommy showed little emotion and basically trashed through the set like a sleepwalking Lurch. Some nuggets of energy like how he threw the TV out the window, and a rock or whatever at a mirror. Other than that, a lumbering monster. It climaxes...





Yeah, that happened. Passion just swelling. Then he goes for a small chest already open, with a gun inside, then he closed it over his fingers, to open it again, the pageantry of opening this chest was important because in it was a gun. Fan theory is that the gun belongs to Chris-R. It sure looks like the one Chris-R had when he almost killed Denny. It might have been a different prop gun, I'm not sure. Whatever the case, he just has a gun. Here comes an epic, tragic finale.





Lisa and Mark weep over the dead body, Mark takes the extra step...





Greg was so done by the movie that he really wasn't pleased with this scene. This was one of the final scenes shot in Birns & Sawyer, note that the San Francisco footage that was used as composite stuff for the green screen roof, as well as the famous flower shop scene and footage of Mark and Johnny playing football, running, and ordering coffee (where the audio of a girl's order plays twice, and they show two couples ordering stuff in full before Mark and Johnny make their order...in full, also famous for Johnny being curious about Mark's sex life). That San Francisco footage was shot after all this. Hai dogeee, that's the flower shop scene by the way. The spelling of dogeee is Tommy's way of spelling it, his language just rubs off on me. That scene is a wonder in how fast the exchange is, like both Johnny and the flower shop owner were rushing lines. Also, who can forget “Oh hey Johnny, I didn't know it was you.” Because Johnny is indistinguishable. Hey, Johnny is her favorite customer. Jesus. Sorry, had to mention those scenes. Anyways, Greg was so done by the end of the movie. It's funny when Lisa, despite crying, said that she still has Mark, and that they're free to be together. Mark didn't like this, shut Lisa down. In the original script, it was much worse, Lisa randomly mentioned that with Johnny's death, the insurance will pay off! That's right, she was excited about getting Johnny's life insurance money. That's Tommy Wiseau everybody, a man who truly respects women. I swear, if the movie released brand new today, feminists would be having a riot over this. It's interesting that Tommy has not been called out over his treatment of women. In the writing of this movie, the fact that he shoves Lisa in the amazing “You're tearing me apart Lisa” scene despite him saying that he never hit Lisa. Also, real-life stuff, how he threw a bottle at the original Michelle's head after she sensibly complained about the lack of water on set, verbal abuse of Juliette (telling the makeup artist to cover up Juliette's back acne, and labeling it as “shit”), and I would imagine emotional abuse with the sex scene. Traumatizing, naked Tommy over her naked body, and the kissing they did, where he's sucking her face.


I rambled. Denny enters the scene, crying over the death of his beloved Johnny. Sirens and random people chatter go off, fire truck noises too. The End.


Random note: Mark apparently had an ex-girlfriend, Betty. I laughed at that now because “Betty” sounds like an old name. As old as the name “Claudette.” Betty is mentioned in the famous rooftop scene, you know...the one that has...





And...





Because a story about a girl who had a dozen guys and one of them finding out about it and beating her up so bad that she ended up in a hospital on Guerrero Street was funny. The Guerrero Street line was ad-libbed by Greg, which Tommy didn't like. The street was where Tommy's San Francisco condo was, and there's no hospital on that street. The only reason it stayed in the final film was because it was the only usable take, haha!


If I could sum up my feelings from this 10th viewing of The Room in one word, it would be this: overstimulated. All the laughing, focus, smiling, coughing, crying, these reactions and feelings while watching this 99 minute movie. It's such an event, no mater how I enter it, I come out being exhausted and with the realization that my day peaked. Everything else just goes downhill afterwards. There is a sense of spacing out my viewings of the film, as I had last seen it in October 2017. The spacing out was a safety reason, in every movie, I think of the possibility of liking it less as I watch it more. Giving multiple viewings in short span, I fear of a movie I love, losing its luster. In hindsight, it's not really a justified fear. Between this and Die Hard, I know there are movies I can watch multiple times in short spans and be totally fine. With the former, during the Summer of 2017, I watched the movie 3 times. Die Hard, 3 times in a month, I recall. Perhaps there were openings to watch The Room a couple times before Wednesday, definitely in a double feature with The Disaster Artist. Power Rangers has taken over, I haven't watched many movies during this excursion that's lasted almost 5 months. In fact, I watched this mediocre werewolf movie, DarkWolf, just so I can see the nude body of a former Power Ranger actress. I always fall into situations that prevent me from just going mad on movies like I did in 2015. Whatever the case, The Room is always a safe viewing, but I would like to make subsequent viewings different. I still haven't seen the movie in a group or theater setting, which would be a dream come true. I thought about watching it with a commentary track from Red Letter Media, since the track is free off their Bandcamp. There is hesitation, as I'm counting the times I watched the film, I am too conscious of the conditions I had put myself in when watching the movies. All of which involved watching the movie pure, a commentary track means just going over this already amazing cake with a foreign frosting. Samurai Cop, I watched 6 times, a majority being in commentary track form, and this was as early as the second viewing. Hell, I listened to a certain commentary track before I even watched the movie, so these are just tied. With The Room, it's just me and the film. Saying that though, I don't feel hesitation over watching the movie with people, I think the laughs from them will rub off on me and perhaps vice versa. That's basically a commentary track, and I'm very fascinated by it.


Since my review of The Disaster Artist, there's been the two Best F(r)iends movies, hitting theaters nationwide for a few days. I missed those, and there hasn't been a home media release. Since the movies are essentially Greg's, I hope he gives them not only the physical media treatment, but digital downloads and streaming treatment. Unfortunately, no word on Room Full of Spoons, the documentary about The Room that digs into Tommy's life, seemingly deeper than Greg's book. What the future lies for Tommy and Greg beyond Best F(r)iends and The Room screenings, I don't know. For the other actors, they are trying to raise funds to continue the mockumentary series “The Room Actors: Where Are They Now?” I hope that is a success, not sure if I talked about the series before. It's super funny and worth watching, they're on Youtube and FunnyOrDie. It's Robyn Paris' baby, and I love her, so I want her to succeed with this. I'd love to see Greg and Tommy appear in it, but it's unlikely. For Greg, I'm not sure exactly, timing, contract. Tommy, that's easy, he doesn't want to, more and more he kind of shits on the actors apart from himself and Greg. He's highly critical of projects that “steal” from his movie, including parodies in that, and since the mockumentary makes light of The Room and uses its lines and moments to fuel the stories, it's definitely not on Tommy's radar. They were aware of this pretty early on, as in the trailer for the series that came out years ago, the poster of The Room, containing Tommy's face, was blurred. Not blurring it would've incurred Tommy's wrath, seriously. Just ask the Room Full of Spoons team how even having a small bit of The Room footage and imagery on it can raise Tommy's ire, among other things, his fear of it being a total expose and whatnot.


Given the tendency to joke and be sarcastic in regards to this movie, I am being serious in saying it's my favorite movie. I'm all about entertainment, and no other film entertains me as much and as uniquely as this. Even though it's thrown together in the so bad it's good category, I gradually realize that it's beyond that. Yeah, it's shit, but it's very special. Most of the movies in the trash cinema world are action and horror movies, there are so few drama movies, and those I imagine to be the biggest gambles, where they could just end up being bad. I hear some, but this movie is just so loud in that particular field, that it really is peerless. Against the action and horror movies that are revered and adored for being bad, obviously peerless. I gave my fave 5 of bad movies, notice how the other 4 are action ones, Raw Force having horror elements. What other hilariously bad movies are there? Troll 2, Manos: The Hands of Fate, Street Fighter (my opinion at least), horror and action films. The Room is just a drama. Those kinds of movies don't get a lot of play for me, it's a risk, they can be boring, Oscar baiting trite, and I'm not often in the mood for something really serious and gripping. Before 2015, sure, but B-movies ruined that for me, wanting the fast and crazy entertainment those films provide me. Learning about the story behind The Room also shaped my opinion of the film being more than just a bad movie, it was something made with passion, but at the expense of cast and crew members. It was made to be an Oscar winner, but turned out to be magically entertaining for unintended reasons. Knowing the story behind say Troll 2, Samurai Cop, Miami Connection, none of them hit the chord that The Room does.


In Power Rangers terms, since that's been my main jam the last couple months, The Room is the equivalent of the 6th Ranger. The 6th Ranger comes in the middle of the season typically, and elevates the team into a higher level of dominance. Notice how a lot of these bad movies are old, a lot of the ones I love are from the 80s, some 70s, 90s, Manos was from the 60s. The Room is from the early 2000s, and I think it kicked the culture of bad cinema back into gear, and touching the mainstream a few times, and for its longest and most sustained time thanks to The Disaster Artist. This movie swooped it and elevated this particular art form to a higher plain. Hell, without this movie, I would not have watched B-movies and so bad it's good stuff. There is appreciation just for that, an eternal kind.


I'm kind of dragging this review because I don't know of good final words. I've talked about this film so many times, I'll continue to talk about it. The fact I'm reviewing it when I could've done other things. I definitely could've typed more, I limited the backstage talk a lot, but I already covered it in my review of The Disaster Artist. As usual, this review is longer than I expected, just focusing on my experience, but I went overboard again. Ah well.


I recommend the movie, but not as a guarantee that you'll like it. More or less because it's something that has to be seen at least once, getting a sense of what kind of beast it is. Tommy would say you don't have to love or hate the movie, but he guarantees you'll like a percentage of it. He says that in a clunky manner, but basically, he has a point. I think to shape up that statement, you will like or dislike the movie, love or hate, but I'm very sure you'll take away something from it. A major memory, it leaves a long-lasting impression on someone. I'm proof of that. Happy 15th Anniversary to The Room, may it live on forever.


11/10 – That's the rating I give my fave five of bad movies, just to make a clear distinction of them compared to all other movies.


PS: I had a 53 page review of Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, the second of the 3 films. I reviewed the first and the 2017 film, so I figured I should review that one, especially since at the time, it was up on the Power Rangers queue, as it was canon, it was the gap between the 1996 Zeo season and the 1997 Turbo season, so, yeah. It turned out that episode 1 of the Turbo show had clips from the movie and did some recapping. Whatever the case, I watched...on March 31st. There's no point in sharing the review, since it's really outdated now (too lazy to proofread and fill in some blanks), as I've watched the Turbo series, and filled in holes I had coming out of that movie. Regarding this film review as a promise to myself, I'll just run through it as quick as possible.


Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie





It's in major contrast from the first movie because 20th Century Fox were very hands-off on it, whereas in the first movie, they ran the show. As a result, this has a stronger feel of the TV series, of course, since Saban produced the movie, I guess Fox financed it. They also put a guy on board as director, David Winning. It's a bit of a mystery who directed what, because in the end credits, he has a co-directing credit with Shuki Levy, executive producer of Power Rangers at the time. Remembering the credits, it looks like it was a movie filled with directors, different units. The “Hawaii unit,” which had to be the one where they were in, I guess Hawaii, shooting the third act of the film. Judd “Chip” Lynn was the 2nd unit director for that, he's been with the series at the beginning pretty much and is currently the executive producer for the show, specifically since returning after a couple years on Dino Charge, the 2015-2016 season. He's confirmed to be the showrunner, executive producer for the 2019 season, Beast Morphers. There was an Underwater Unit, which those scenes were pretty brief, so move on from that. Los Angeles, a couple 2nd unit directors including head producer Jonathan Tzachor, head of Alpha Stunts and stunt coordinator Koichi Sakamoto, and Makoto Yokoyama, a fresh stunt coordinator for the show at the time. There was also a “Rogue Unit,” Chip Lynn being the 2nd unit director on that, so it makes me wonder how active David Winning was. He was brought in because of his prolific sci-fi movie career. Honestly, I don't notice a different touch to the movie, it came off as an extended TV episode, or a multi-parter packaged into one. That was good and bad. Good in that it rectified some key mistakes in the first movie, most notably the CG. I've learned recently that the CG on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie was because of Bryan Spicer, the director of that film. Fucking dumbass. I get why, but damn, if only he knew what it would turn out to be. The bad: it plods on way too long and does not go for a fast paced movie style, not even a fast paced TV style as the show always was. With extra time, Saban showed that they take that time to meander and delay, rather than expand. The major sins committed in the movie is that they don't properly suit up until the 71 minute mark. There are brief glimpses before, but they need to be specified.


The first glimpse was Kat (Catherine Sutherland) briefly morphing into her Zeo Ranger 1 Pink suit (technically it's a digital effect, and you only see the helmet superimposed over her head), before crashing into a river. After that, no more Zeo Rangers, there's a long story about that, note that they start the movie as Zeo Rangers but through bullcrap logic, they become Turbo Rangers. There was stuff shot and even more in the original script that was cut out from the movie, which gave a somewhat stronger explanation for why the Zeo powers were gone. The basic theory, it's never been 100% confirmed, water. That explains Kat demorphing after hitting the river, the Zeo powers are weak to water. It's a bit lame, but it's an actual explanation. Moving on, the next Ranger suit-up tease was at the 39 minute mark when they morph into Turbo Rangers for the first time and ride out in their cars, with the Turbo theme hitting the ears and being awesome. Then they go to a very slow moving pirate ship, unmorphed. They do get into a decent unmorphed fight scene, which was a breath of fresh air as the previous season, Zeo, had little to no unmorphed fight scenes, as they were deemed too violent at the time. When I say “unmorphed,” I meant them not in costume, in their civilian clothes. After the 71 mark, the movie shifts into Turbo, finally, after being anti-Turbo a majority of the time. Thus, the rest of movie is pretty awesome.


Austin St. John and Amy Jo Johnson, Jason and Kimberly, original Red and Pink, appear in the movie, they get captured, turned evil, kick ass in the third act, and are then turned back good. Small role compared to the others, but still very important. They are captured by the main villain, Divatox, played by Hilary Shepard, who was pregnant at the time of filming, explaining her voluptuous breasts. After the movie wrapped, she was on maternity leave, and Carol Hoyt took over as Divatox for the first 25 episodes of Turbo, Shepard returned to finish the series. Divatox gets flak for being too silly and incompetent, and recycling a detonator plot for almost half the Turbo season, but I have counterpoints to that. Silly and incompetent, yes, and I love her for that. The detonator plot, very true, that was the worst part of Turbo, the season is universally thought of as the worst Power Rangers season in the Zordon Era (1993-1998), hell, even the Saban Era (1993-2002). I do actually like Turbo, and Divatox is a big reason, preferring Shepard's portrayal, as she definitely swung for the comedic fences, and Hoyt didn't branch out. I just love how Shepard's Divatox was so over the top, vain, goofy, funny, and most of that was the actress ad-libbing, so credit to her for making that character her own. A big part of the flak is that she ends up destroying the iconic Command Center, which had been a Power Rangers staple since the show's debut in 1993. I can see the hate for that as before, Divatox was just silly, not to take seriously, failing at beating the Rangers. Suddenly episode 44 and 45 come on and she's totally wrecking shop and her henchmen, the Piranhatrons are not completely useless. That kind of leap, I guess people didn't accept. I did. Again, I love Divatox.


Ranger actors, should mention them: Jason David Frank (Tommy), Johnny Yong Bosch (Adam), Nakia Burrise (Tanya), Catherine Sutherland (Kat), and Blake Foster (Justin). The first two date back to the MMPR era, as well as being in the first movie. The women came on at the end of MMPR, Burrise specifically on the final episode of MMPR, if you count the Alien Rangers miniseries as part of MMPR. That just leaves the newbie, and the most controversial aspect of the film and the entire Turbo era, Justin. At the time the movie was made, Blake Foster was 11-12 years old. They made a child into a Power Ranger, surely to the dismay of kids that were watching the show. Whether it be envy that he lived out their dreams, or anger that he became a Ranger, when such an honor doesn't belong to him on the grounds that he is a kid! This was Saban trying to boost ratings, as Power Rangers was dipping at this time, oddly enough they were losing to their own show, Big Bad Beetleborgs. The heroes from that show were kids, and since the ratings were strong on that, why not try the kid hero thing on Power Rangers? It did not go well, the ratings continued to go downhill and Turbo almost spelled doom for the entire franchise. It was going to be canceled next season, but that particular season saved Power Rangers, more on that later.


I agree that the concept of a child being a Power Ranger is absolutely awful. It turns out that Super Sentai, the series Power Rangers adapts seasons from, has made children into Rangers a couple times, even before Turbo. However, I don't see people complaining of these specific kids, so I think they showed that the concept can work. Saban on the other hand, failed at that. However, that's not to say Justin is a bad character. You get glimpses of his traits, being headstrong and jumping into action with little to no fear. In the show, it's much clearer, but in the movie, just coming in, replacing Rocky (Steve Cardenas), his negative aspects came through too much. The negative aspects being that he's an annoying little kid. Saban would not have tried this out though if the Blue Ranger spot wasn't open. Steve Cardenas was slated to be the Blue Turbo Ranger, but he chose to leave the show, and his sendoff was so pitiful, breaking his back while practicing for a martial arts competition. The way it happened was ridiculous and unrealistic. Also, Justin basically got himself involved when he paid Rocky a visit to the hospital, but he was sleeping and didn't notice Justin come in, then hid under the bed, as the other Rangers entered. They get a call from Zordon, Justin overhears and sees them teleport away. It's such a lame way of learning of the Rangers' identity, but this isn't alien to the show, most of the times when people find out, it's through silly and simple means, it doesn't paint the Rangers as skilled in concealing their Ranger status. Basically, because of eavesdropping, Zordon makes Justin a Power Ranger, ridiculous. He does have a bit of a backstory, his mom passed away, and his dad is off trying to find work, and find himself, as he lost willpower following Justin's mom's passing. At first this paints Justin as an orphan, as the point of Rocky, Tommy, and Adam entering the martial arts tournament was so that they can use the prize money to donate to the orphanage. During the pirate ship scene, he reveals to Kat about his dad. He does appear in the show and they eventually reunite permanently, leading Justin to give up being a Ranger.


Divatox's evil plan is to go to another dimension, to the island of Murianthias, and marry a monster named Maligore, who is worshiped by the natives in that island. The marriage would ensure her amazing power to use to wreck shop. She kidnapped a little ugly alien's wife and kid, and eventually him, to get his wand/key, as it allows for passage to this other dimension. Jason and Kimberly are captured and are prepared as sacrifices to Maligore, as pure hearted beings sacrificed to him would awaken him from his slumber in a volcano. The Rangers made contact with the little ugly alien, Lerigot, before he was kidnapped, as Tommy and Kat saved him from some of Earth's animals. The Turbo powers' only explanation for existence was that the Turbo keys were made to look like Lerigot's wand, and thus drawing from its magical properties. This way, they get access to the island of Murianthias like Divatox, and stop her.


Divatox has some henchmen, one being Elgar, who is ugly and super annoying. I got used to him in the show, because the tone of that show was extremely cheese, dumb, and thus it was easy to downtune myself to that frequency. However, the next season, In Space, Elgar stayed on as a henchman to the main villain in that season, Astronema (Melody Perkins). This would segue into In Space talk, but I'll save that for towards the end. Another henchman is Rygog, who I now know was voiced by Lex Lang, who later voiced Astronema's second in command, Ecliptor. The suit actor for Rygog was Ed Neil, who also donned the Lord Zedd suit. Segue into Zedd and his wife, Rita Repulsa. They have a small cameo in the movie, the former just snoring as the latter laughs at Divatox during their phone conversation, basically saying that she couldn't beat the Power Rangers, so stop trying and run. This cameo was disappointing because of the fact that in Zeo, Zedd and Rita came out on top, destroying the main villains of that season, the Machine Empire. Next time you see them, they're sleeping, not on active villain duty. The Zeo-Turbo transition has been a much talked about thing in the fandom. I won't go into too much detail, but to summarize, Turbo does a bunch of things that break the continuity following Zeo. I've since learned that it was Saban focusing more on getting new viewers and bringing back lapsed ones, under the belief that they don't care abut continuity, which is horse shit. Victims of this transition were also Bulk and Skull, who are in the movie, a bit, much more than I can say for their roles in the first movie. They get captured by Divatox early on. They ended Zeo as quitting Jerome Stone's Detective Agency, but then in Turbo, they are back to being policemen, along with Stone. They were policemen in season 3 of MMPR and then got fired in the middle of Zeo, along with Lt. Stone. The detective agency was started by Stone, Bulk and Skull were recruited. This return to police duty was so weird, because the captain who fired them pretty much said they will not be police again. Just kidding apparently, they get their jobs back, for a short amount of time. In the first few episodes of the show, Bulk and Skull are turned into monkeys (yeah, really, apparently it was so that they could focus on getting their spinoff off the ground, but that failed), and Lt. Stone just suddenly took over Ernie's Juice Bar. The original owner, Ernie, Richard Genelle, who does appear in Turbo briefly at the end, compared to no appearance at all in the first movie, was let go due to health concerns over his weight. Genelle passed away in 2008, sadly.


Alright, all characters talked about, synopsis laid out, that leaves the third act. It's just explosive, all parties meet in a cave, Divatox sacrifices Jason and Kimberly, who during the movie tried to escape from Divatox's submarine. Three of them made it, but it was too late for Jason. Kimberly washed up on the shore of the island, Bulk and Skull were just fine. Kimberly was taken in by the natives and I guess freely offered her to Divatox for the sacrifice. The sacrifice didn't even kill them, just turned them evil. They kick the asses of the Rangers, and note that these two are no longer Rangers, and they're fighting the heroes, who already morphed. The boost in power from the sacrifice made them able to wreck suited Power Rangers! That's badass, and my single favorite part of the movie was Jason holding Tommy by the neck and kicking his ass! Tommy removed his helmet in an attempt to snap Kimberly out of her spell. It didn't work, note that they were an item, but Kimberly sent a Dear John letter, a notorious moment in Power Rangers history, making Kimberly out to be a bit poor in character, which is a disservice to her awesome character in my opinion. Anyways, this evil turn lasts for only a few minutes, as Lerigot and his wife used their pixie dust to reverse the spell on Jason and Kimberly. Although not pure of heart, Divatox dunks Elgar, her nephew, into the fire, along with her pet lizard thing. That was just enough to fully awake Maligore. To clarify, Elgar still appears in the series afer, so the sacrifice doesn't kill him, though you don't see that pet lizard again. Divatox is shocked at Maligore's hideous appearance and backs off marriage, but still wants him to fuck up the Power Rangers. This leads into a 100% original giant monster battle, as the Rangers summon their Zords, put them together, and have a little fight, all while the kickass Turbo theme plays, followed by another rocking tune. Again, the whole third act is awesome, and rectifies the CG filled wreck from the third act of the MMPR movie. Maligore is defeated, though his very cool costume was re-used by Saban. The costume became Dark Specter, a major villain in the In Space season, the one who unites previous monsters and villains on the show, in an attempt to conquer the universe. There's no explanation about Maligore basically becoming Dark Specter, though Divatox made a comment that they looked familiar, a little meta there.


The movie ends with a great fight sequence, Tommy, Adam, and Jason fighting in the finals of the martial arts competition. They won, hooray, and credits.


Some other things to mention. Adam's Zord, like the rest of the Rangers, were all cars. However, the Rangers got cool cars, except for him. Justin got a mini-monster truck, Tommy got a red racecar, Tanya got a nice yellow jeep, Kat got a decent looking car you would imagine a single woman would drive. Adam...got a green minivan! In the first movie, Adam got the powers of a frog, so it's just an apparent running joke of screwing over The Bosch. They limited themselves to Sentai adaptation as the frog was from Kakuranger and the minivan from Carranger. Still, they screwed Adam. Further screwing came in a subplot cut from the movie where Adam saves and falls in love with a mermaid. The mermaid was the explanation for Kimberly washing up in the island. Bulk and Skull being dandy was because of Kimberly, in cut footage, she let Bulk and Skull use some raft to get to shore safely. Without the mermaid to come to Kimberly's rescue, she would've been screwed. There's lots of cut footage, apparently enough to make the film 3 hours long, while we got a 1 hour and 40 minute piece (the first movie was just about 90 minutes), that still dragged on too much. At the same time, seeing the cut footage would've been very interesting. Unfortunately, that may never get released, it's in a vault in 20th Century Fox's archives, presumably, and since they're now owned by Disney, it's probably under more locks and keys.


To sum things up, Turbo is saved from the amazing third act. It's a movie that has a great payoff to make up for an overly slow build. For a movie with Turbo in the name, it's ironic how slow it was. Ranger fighting should've been included early into the movie, rather than making one wait until the 71 minute mark, or even around 45 minutes when they do an unmorphed fight scene. I appreciate that fight scene as I do love unmorphed fight scenes, which became a lost art in Zeo, and actually slowly worked back down to being a lost art as the show went on and eventually became owned by Disney for a period of time. One beef with that section though is that it took place in a slow-ass pirate ship. Zordon's explanation was that it was a vessel capable of getting them to the other dimension, to the gateway, which was called the Nemesis Triangle. Still, it contributed to the anti-Turbo status. Some more cut content from the script included a Zeo fight scene, which would've further explained why they needed new powers, as it included Tanya and Adam fighting Piranhatrons under water, and when they make it to shore, their suits are all torn up, contributing to the theory that the Zeo powers were weak to water. In the Zeo series, the Rangers never made contact with water, so the opening was there to make this a kryptonite. However, the only counterpoint is that in one scene in Zeo, Adam was piloting his bull Zord underwater. My defense is that the Zord was basically a metal shield, and Adam's suit, which had his Zeo Crystal as part of the wardrobe (his wrist morpher), was protected from contact with water. The Zords, though dependent on the Zeo powers, I guess prove to be a logical exception. Thus it's more that the suits can't make contact with water, as that means their crystals make contact with water, which is bad. Look at me trying to make sense of Power Rangers, it's ridiculous, I know.


Moving on, in terms of where this movie stands among the other two films, this is an easy second place. The first movie's only fatal flaw was the CG. Barring some nitpicks over Jason David Frank's Tommy, which were not as prominent in this movie, which I'll get to at the end, and the lack of showing off the team chemistry and friendship on the first movie, it's still the go-to, definitive Power Rangers movie. It darkens things up just a bit, along with the professional movie studio polish to make it an interesting beast in the whole franchise. I watched it a lot as a kid, and despite the gripes and CG, it retains the general entertainment value it had on me back then. The third movie is just mediocre. It has a dragging nature like the Turbo movie, but the second film had one tone of being very...well, Power Ranger-y, though exaggerated compared to a more thoughtful Zeo (for the most part), and even a slightly more coherent MMPR (which is notoriously wacky and silly to begin with, though it had some amazingly deep episodes that the Turbo show never did). As a result, waiting for the payoff was less grueling than the 2017 film. Also, the payoff was awesome in Turbo, it was middling and bland in the 2017 movie. Add on major nitpicks and gripes with some characters and the actors that portrayed them, the horrific product placement of Krispy Kreme's, the tone balance being so lopsided in favor of drama rather than the childhood charm and cheese of the original Power Rangers series, the 2017 movie is just so bogged down with a myriad of issues. Turbo, bogged down by Justin's first outing as a Ranger, the slow pace, and the lack of Ranger action until the third act. However, if made to choose between this and the 2017 film, this all the way. In fact, it might be better if watched out of order, because I watched this right after finishing Zeo, and the transition was so sloppy and made me sour on the film early on. However, if on its own, it could actually be better. At its heart, it's still basically a very long episode, but it should've approached it as a multi-parter, by having key action sequences in each act to keep things going. That's what the first movie did, having 2 unmorphed fight scenes, one with them in the ninja costumes, and 1 where they are fully morphed, which took place after the first unmorphed scene. So, it moved at a very fast pace, kept one's attention. Turbo was too set on putting all their chips in one game, and the whole movie suffers from it, though not enough to be horrible. It has replay value. Would I recommend it to non-fans? Eh, not really, only if you want to see how good a job they do an original Zord/monster battle rather than just use footage from a Super Sentai season. It's obvious to mention, but I'll do it anyway, this movie has 100% original footage, all the movies do. Just throwing that out there. I would recommend the first movie if you want a true sense of Power Rangers without watching the series. I mean, that's how I was, I watched the movie a lot as a kid, and barely watched the show. I don't remember watching a full episode of it, and it certainly wasn't MMPR, when I gave the show some looks, it was during the In Space and Lost Galaxy seasons, so 1998-1999. I would recommend the 2017 movie if you just want to watch a superhero movie? I mean, it's nothing in quality, in my opinion, compared to the best Marvel movies and the Nolan Batman films, but if you want a semblance of an alternative, it's there. I say semblance because it does go for the well of established superhero movies to mixed results. It may be better for non-fans because I personally felt that film didn't capture the essence of Power Rangers. Brushes with it, yes, but not fully, the first movie did.


Before I close the lid on this, I would like to talk about what happened after the Turbo movie. I'll try to be quick. I mentioned Jason David Frank's Tommy not being so overly prominent in this movie. That's because at the time, JDF was ready to leave the series. He simply was done, wanted to move on, simple. He was ready to move on after Zeo. As a result, many preliminary plans came up, a lot of them being too good to be true, and not sticking, for example, reuniting the original team and making them the Turbo Rangers, or just having Austin St. John, who played Jason, to replace Tommy. There was even a possibility of The Bosch replacing Tommy, hence why they made him grow his hair out, which was a bad decision because he looked like David from Roseanne (the original, not the reboot). They were able to get JDF to stick around for the movie and 19 episodes of Turbo. During those 19 episodes, he was even more absent, a lot of time just appearing in the show in recycled car racing footage and then him morphed, meaning he wasn't in the suit, a stuntman was. His exit thus was relatively painless physically, but painful in terms of what it meant to the other cast members. Fearing that the Screen Actors Guild was going to snatch up the actors, and thus meaning they have to pay for their services more, they replaced Sutherland, Burrise, and Bosch. This is the reason I read on the Power Rangers Wiki site. The actors' side was basically being blindsided. The Bosch said that he found out while he was getting makeup applied to him, the makeup artist showed him a newspaper that had an advertisement, “Looking for new Rangers.” The Bosch showed this to Burrise and Sutherland, and the final countdown was at hand. It was a real douchebag move on Saban's part, no tact, no grace, no class. Supposedly Sutherland wanted to leave, but since that rumor came out, she herself denied it, she says she didn't want to leave. In episode 19 of Turbo, when they pass the torch to the 4 new Rangers, you'll notice a lack of close shots of Kat and Tanya's faces. That's because the actresses were crying during this part, it's a very sad trivia fact. I had gotten serious Tommy fatigue during my binging of the show, he was there from early season 1, all the way to episode 19 of Turbo. There were times in MMPR where he was gone, this was when he lost his Green Ranger powers twice and they wrote the Tommy character off, but fans loved him too much that they brought him back on board. As a result, JDF is one of the longest tenured Rangers in the franchise, and was in 183 episodes. After Turbo, he appeared once in Wild Force, as a regular character in Dino Thunder, and 1 episode of Super Megaforce, bringing his total episode count to 221 episodes longer than any other Ranger actor. He's only beat by 2 non-Ranger actors, Paul Schrier, who played Bulk, 286 episodes, and Jason Narvy, who played Skull, 252 episodes. Bulk and Skull outlived the Power Rangers! Schrier also was the Yellow Ranger in the Twitch series Power Rangers Hyperforce, but as Jack, not Bulk. If you count those, that's another 20 episodes for Schrier, 311 episodes in total!


To further explain my Tommy fatigue, it's just that Tommy became an altruistic leader for an insane amount of episodes. Jason, the original leader, was altruistic, but he definitely had a reserved coolness, while Tommy would explode, which on paper sounds nice, but when you see it for way too many episodes, it becomes tiring. For Jason, when he exploded, it's much more of a special thing, the regular Jason was someone who only really busted out when it came to morph and he yelled “TYRANNOSAURUS.” Tommy wasn't much of a yeller, but the explosiveness in him was just in all the energy he exudes. It's candy, eating the same sweet candy just makes one sick. Jason was more like a good meat product, like beef, steak, at least I can eat that regularly compared to one sweet candy product. The show typically would have focus episodes, where the stories revolved around one character, with of course the team stuff peppering though, especially in the end for the Megazord battle. Tommy had too many focus episodes, some that went nowhere. For some reason in Zeo, they gave Tommy the backstory of being of Native American descent, and that he had a long-lost brother. The brother, David Trueheart, had actually been under the guardianship of a tribe chief. In Zeo, they reunited. David was played by Jason David Frank's real older brother, Erik. His brother passed away in 2001 sadly. The reunion was nice, but after a couple episodes, it was just dropped. Then a forced relationship with Kat after the Dear John letter from Kimberly, there was definitely some kind of directive to write more stuff for Tommy. Given that he was already the undisputed leader, this just created a resentment from me. I love Zeo, it's a great season, but basically, Tommy was a major hindrance to it being perfect. I would add weak main villains, but that's pretty much it. Jason's focus episodes were not overly involved, in comparison. As leader, he was always there, you can see him, but he didn't force himself to be there. He was the solid core. Tommy, he was always there, you can see him, but how loud he appears, figuratively speaking (and literally in real life, the guy is always talking), he wasn't the solid core. He was a towering pillar, everyone else was beneath him. I hope that makes sense. People love Tommy, that kind of leadership is susceptible to admiration and such, but for me, especially as an adult, my tastes in leaders are a bit different. On the flipside, the series did have these towering leaders, but their characters were simply better and justified their positions strongly, for example Carter from the Lightspeed Rescue season. Being removed from Tommy as a regular character, I am interested to see how he fares in Dino Thunder, the season that's next on my queue. Hopefully alright, otherwise, my middle ground stance on him will shift to the negative side.


Back to Turbo. With Justin still part of the team, the four new Rangers that joined were TJ (Selwyn Ward, first black leader of the Power Rangers, Red Ranger), Carlos (Roger Velasco, Green), Cassie (Patricia Ja Lee, Pink), and Ashley (Tracy Lynn Cruz, Yellow). They finished Turbo, with Hilary Shepard returning at episode 26. From that point on, the show picked up, but not enough to it being great, just enough to not end up sucking in my opinion. Despite escaping the super repetitive detonator plot (which I felt was a ploy to make the veteran Rangers look weak upon their exits), there were still some serious tonal issues with the show, not maturing like Zeo and season 3 MMPR did, it was basically a regression, many steps back. Still, the positives became the actors and the building chemistry between them. Turbo proved to be an important foundation, as the four new Rangers went off into Space in the end, following a great season finale, and an amazing filler episode before (Parts and Parcel, TJ basically helping Bulk and Skull in a more active way than any of his predecessors). The chemistry of these four then got a new mix with TJ and Carlos becoming Blue and Black Space Rangers respectively, and Andros (Christopher Khayman Lee) already being a Red Ranger. Then came the 6th Ranger, Zhane the Silver Ranger (Justin Nimmo). These 6, along with Astronema, Ecliptor, Darkonda (another major villain), great writing, some Bulk and Skull, a darker tone, made in my opinion, the best season of Power Rangers so far. In a way, it wouldn't be what it was without that misstep, Turbo. A necessary evil, a speed bump. Either way, the legacy of Power Rangers was saved when In Space picked the ratings back up to where the series went on, until Disney bought the product in a package deal with Fox Kids. They wanted to cancel Power Rangers, but they were convinced to move production from Los Angeles to New Zealand, laying off almost all of the production team, save for basically Alpha Stunts and Koichi Sakamoto, and take the show off the union. It had went union starting in the middle of In Space and continuing into the rest of the first Saban Era. Though they went union, they were still paying the actors crap wages, but now deliberately cutting short their work hours so they wouldn't be forced to pay for overtime. In comparison, the actors before this shift were paid the same wage, but working more hours. Either way, it's Saban being brutally cheap. Disney though were not so sympathetic, though hands off, leading a string of well regarded shows, one I just finished, the first in the Disney Era, Ninja Storm. Anyways, since the Disney Era, and continuing onto the Neo-Saban era, Power Rangers went back to being non-union. Now that Hasbro owns the franchise, it remains to be seen if they will make the show union. I hope so, it allows for veteran Ranger actors to return, and people want reunions! Especially of the original MMPR team (minus Thuy Trang, who passed away in 2001, she was the original Yellow Ranger).


Back to In Space, I should explain Justin's future. He was actually the first case of being introduced as a Ranger in the beginning of the season, and then giving up the Ranger duties at the end. After In Space, Saban went for yearly cast changes, and single season storylines. Justin was the first case of that actually, you think they were going to continue to pay a child actor for longer than a season?


Anyways, to conclude this bonus review, the Turbo movie overall is average. It's a decent watch since the payoff is tremendous. This gets more flak than the original movie, which I totally understand why, I'm simply a bit more forgiving, plus loving Divatox. I was able to keep this particular review at less than 10 pages, hoorah! That completes Power Rangers movie coverage too, I'm still on the show, so it's not worth going into a long speech about the show. A funny thing I would like to share is at episode 22 of Turbo, Trouble by the Slice. It's one of the best episodes of Turbo, it's very wacky, but it's a good kind. Divatox gets accidentally transported to Earth from her submarine, and fell. The landing gave her amnesia and she ended up working at a pizza joint, where the manager has an obviously fake mustache. Her interactions with this guy and just the fact she was willingly assuming the role of being a pizza joint employee (eating pizza in the back, to the chagrin of the manager), and also, an epic, legendary line from the episode. Mad Mike, the monster-of-the-week wreaks pizza havoc, and when the Rangers morph into action, TJ says that amazing line. They're in the suits, it's footage from Carranger obviously, so you have to take my word for it, no lip reading to confirm the line being actually said. Trust me, it was said. This is how I'll end the review.





HAHAHA!

I think this will help make up you’re mind...

Once upon a terribly dreadful time, there was a small cat-licking bird that lived on a lane by my house whose name was Charles just like every other soul, male or female, that lived on my smelly, stinky, orange, old, rotten, messy, busted cul-de-sac between Belmont and Rose which are both Gay-ass Streets Like North street or some shit that reminds me of a celebrity like Paris Hilton or some blonde loser that doesn't even know the capital of her own country, which is the United States of America. aka: The U.S.A which is a pristine nation of beauty, opposing to a country as the country of Somalia and Belgium, a part of Europe, which doesn't even have a government, it's just in a complete state of anarchy just like my mind and soul which are both filled with outrageous nonsense that I'm typing down right now into some fat long sentence that probably makes no sense but who cares I'm trying to set some sort of weird record here like most ducks snorted or some weird thing like that and if I do set some sort of record I will be in the Guinness Book of World Records (though anti-American and pro European, a place of pitty and despair as Somalia is) which was always my dream because that book has a whole bunch a cool and weird stuff in it and I would Become famous and add to the weirdness of the book like some of their records which reminds me of the Rob & Big where Rob sets all of those skateboarding Records And Big Black eats bananas and donuts and three weeks later they both get plaques saying the record they set and I want to get one of those so that's why I'm writing all of this stuff down without ever using a period or some other sentence ending mark like an exclamation point or a question mark or any other symbol that could possibly end my streak of words that is really long now and would take me a while to count just like counting sheep which is supposed to put you to sleep but it really keeps you awake because you want to keep counting and counting until you don't know what comes after trillions, but that would take Years or something because it would take a while just to count a trillion seconds or minutes would be even worse just like how ducks are worse that geese because they are more aggressive around their young unlike great white sharks which are often eaten by their mothers when they are born and the ones who do make it out alive have no mother to teach them how to hunt or whatever because none of that matters because us human beings have mothers unless they die or run off with some CEO of a big company or someone else who makes a lot of money and then they leave you with your dad and you are jealous of your friends if you have any because they have moms and you don't because your mom was some greedy pig who wanted money but ended up only getting the money part and she bought drugs because she was depressed and ended up killing herself from an overdose and you wouldn't even know about it until you become some rich person and check the files somewhere and learn that she died of a overdose and you eyes get all teary and then you start crying because you know that you wouldn't be alive without that woman you called mom and I just found out right now that the longest sentence is like 10,000 words so I have a ways to go and you have to go with me so let's go to 6th gear and throw out some words like Emphysema which I had to do a report on in 4th grade because we had a ton of projects and this was the disease one and we chose diseases out of a hat and I came out with Emphysema which is a form of lung cancer which is 98% caused by smoking which reminds me of the way my dad describes smoking: "you get plant leaves, wrap them in paper, light it on fire and suck on it" which is normally a sentence but not today because I'm setting out on the quest for a long sentence that I'm typing up which reminds me of a story my grandpa told me about himself when he was "your age" about how they covered the letters on the type writers and they had to type so that they could memorize where the letters are on a type writer and my grandpa says he will never regret taking that class because it helped him out a lot when it came to typing and now a days he is not bad a typing at all because He is almost as fast as me because I am a pretty fast typer and writing this article isn't taking very long and expect being pretty far pretty soon at the pace I'm going right now so there are going to be some serious records getting busted when I'm finally finished writing this article on this dumb website which will probably end up huffing this article even though it is fun-packed and joyful and keeps the reader reading when they use that excuse to mom saying "just one more sentence" but that sentence is 10,000 words long and still continuing to go at a reasonable pace and it is going to shatter most of those long sentence records just like how the chargers are going to shatter the most consecutive years without a super bowl win record and I doubt that they will win one in the near future but they patriots are going to win some serious super bowls because they are the best team ever even better than the cowboys or 49ers and no one cares a bout them so go patriots and boo chargers even though I live in San Diego and Like the Padres I hate the Chargers because they are bad and the padres are bad too but I don't care because they are my favorite team and the dodgers are my least favorite along with the Yankees because the Yankees get a lot of money to spend and the padres and marlins get almost nothing and then the Yankees buy a-rod for a lot and the Rays get almost no money but are still fighting for first place this season without expensive players like Derek jeter or a-rod or johnny damon or whoever because they are an all around better team that can beat the Yankees even though the Yankees can beat the royals a lot who really suck because they suck more that the padres do and so do the mariners and Rockies even thought the Rockies went to the world series last year they lost and haven't stopped losing for a while now, either and they are last place in the nl west and that is where the padres used to be but they started hitting homeruns and winning games and are dong pretty good right now despite having little offense except for Adrian Gonzalez who is leading the NL in RBI's even though he is on the team who scores the least runs in the league but they are not last in homeruns though they are like 5 away or something but I’m not sure so screw that and let's talk about something fun like water or food or dirt or something but I think food is the best because their is a lot of things to talk about with food like you r favorite food which mine happens to be some spicy burrito form Chipotle mexican grill and it is very good just like this macaroni my mom made one time that had bread crumbs on top and it was very good like all of the food they serve on top chef which I wish I could be a judge for because they have a lot of good food on that show and it makes my mouth water whenever I watch it and that is why I watch it because the food is totally awesome and sometimes I hate the people but they end up getting eliminated like the Dance crews in France's Best Dance Crew which is a great show and you should watch it because people do good dancing like the JFrabbawockeez because they won the first season and they are very good just like supreme soul and So real crew and phresh select and super cr3w and I’m only at 1500 words right now so I have to write some serious stuff like a life biography about myself and anything I’ve ever done which includes going to big bear to ski, fishing, breathing, swimming, going, farting, eating, sleeping and a whole lot more stuff which reminds me of 4th grade again when my teacher was debating with the class whether "a lot" was one or two words and all of the kids including myself said one while the teacher said two and he was right and we were wrong but no one cared because we all had fun arguing about and I have fun arguing with my friends about football and not baseball because in baseball we all like the same team but in football I like the patriots and my friends like the chargers and the 49ers and the eagles and the saints but my team always woops their team's ass and they say that the patriots "cheat" and that's how they won even though the patriots just pwned their team and they suck and my team is good but we all agree when it comes to baseball because we all like the padres and we never really argue over anything in baseball which is my favorite sport and I play it and I am good a it and I want it to be my profession but I doubt that that will happen so my backup plan is being a cop because you get all of the benefits and you get paid after you retire which is good news and I would also like to be some government dude or something like that because they get the benefits too so it would be cool to work for the government which reminds me that my principal worked at the white house and taught the president email because he was the computer guy or something like that so h knows a whole bunch of computer crap like my dad and he is fat too so everyone makes fun of him and I think he huffs kittens too but I am not sure and about that and what the hell is up with all the n00b and kitten huffing on this gay ass website like all of the things like "the writer may have been huffing kittens" and stuff like that it really annoys the hell out of me just like other things such as when people clip their finger nails it makes that weird noise that get me all crazy and I hate it just like how me friend hates the sound of chalk on a chalkboard which I find soothing and relaxing but he gets really annoyed and psyched out and he is also very pale-skinned and so is the rest of his family so it must have been some genetic thing like twins and clones and whole bunch of other confusing science crap that I learned a long time ago in 7th grade or something which was when we watched movies in class like UHF which has weird al in it and it is very funny because weird al has to save a TV station with a whole bunch of weird shows like wheel of fish and rauls wild kingdom with a whole bunch of cool animals like flamingos and turtles and stuff like that but who cares lets get to the meaty part of this article which is the part where I write the longest word known to man which is Methionylthreonylthreonyl...isoleucine which is cut out because it has 189,819 words so wikipedia had to cut out the middle part and the longest word is the name of a protein which is the largest known to man to so big names go to big things is apparently the moral of this story ladies and gentleman the road doesn't stop here and I have to continue no matter what you say or think so I should just write some story now that has no periods so lets start with a guy named Carl who liked fish and women and he went to Clara’s house and they had a good food but that isn't enough of a story to set the record so I think I’ll just stick to writing random crap which really makes no sense at all and here is some random picture

Interesting so far... is it?

that shows a guy who has two legs and another guy who has three who is mocking the guy with two legs because he rips his flesh in disgust every night and you think about who would be dumb enough to rip their flesh instead of cut the ring off or something that doesn't involve entirely gruesome crap like that and I have another life after this one just like how cats have 9 lives I have three because I’m on my second one right now and it is great and you might think I’m a whole new person but you are thinking wrong it's just when I died I came back t life and next time I die I’ll come back to life again and then when I die I’ll be dead for sure which reminds me of Stephen king's book called pet sematary which is coo because people come back to life because there was a burial ground that bring people back to life if they are dead and that book is a great book and you should read it along with the Harry potter series which has magic in it and it is cool too so don't shank yourself when you are cutting that meat for dinner or you might die of massive blood loss or might just need a band aid I mean that works too or you don't even need a band aid because I don't use them and I have never gotten and infection in my life so maybe I’m lucky or have an alligator immune system or something but I don't use band aids and I don't use Neosporin on my cuts so I’m some sort of miracle I guess but I’m wasting twenty minutes of my miracle life on this retard article that I just want the Guinness book of world records to see and go that is the longest thing ever and have me in their book so I’m striving towards that goal right now and I’m not stopping until I hit at least 3000 words and then I’ll do the construction thing and finish thing up tomorrow or sometime after now and I will be the author of the longest single sentence on the planet earth which will be a real accomplishment on my part so you can be real jealous right now because I am making history right in front of you and if you are still reading this I am truly impressed because this article must be getting really boring by now and maybe your not even reading this just scanning the article for periods which I’m afraid you will not find until the very end of this article which is a very, very, long way away and if you are a slow reader well sucks for you but now I have to use that construction thing and I will finish this and now I am back after a hard day at work but I’m still going now so get ready to rumble with this long thing called a sentence that is as long as Mt. Everest is tall and the Marinas Trench is deep and speaking of the ocean fish of all kinds live in the ocean such as puffer fish which are poisonous to eat if not prepared right and will make you die after and you ADMINS BETTER NOT DELETE THIS BECAUSE IT IS SOME RECORD and if you do delete it well I will have this saved and what will you do then you people who will want to delete this because you don't care about people trying to break records so don't delete this or I will boycott Uncyclopedia and will be very mad at you guys like how I am Mad at Tim for being so annoying just like Celebrities and loud people and people who don't brush their teeth which makes me think of killing myself except I wouldn't do that because I am some sort of miracle as you probably read before or not because you are tired of reading this jumble of words that are still making a grammatically correct sentence that is breaking records right now and I won't stop until you let me break some serious records like longest sentence and some other weird stuff that I might get an award for or something but I also want that Guinness record plaque that you get for setting a monster record like most consecutive noses picked with boogers in them or something completely obscure like that which is like a bunch of the articles on this website which are actually some times funny like how to solve a 1x1x1 Rubik’s cube which made me laugh pretty good and the star wars one is good too so never delete those two because they are funny unlike this article because this article is more boring than funny but who cares some retard might laugh at this bundle of crap and I think that I will put that crap tag on this article so people know that this article isn't really funny but that it is long and boring like Dances with Wolves and some other long movies that you actually fall asleep during which is hard for me to do so I tend not to nut I did when I watched Dances with Wolves because it was really boring like counting sheep to a trillion or some other large number that some little kid says he wishes he had that many dollars but he will never get that many dollars because there isn't even that many in circulation right now and if there was that would be some major inflation right there so don't think you can get that much money kid because then you would not be doing this country a favor which it desperately needs I might add so instead burn money instead of make it and lower inflation rates and do everyone a favor except for the people who are already really rich and don't care about inflation and would rather drive an escalade instead of a Prius in times like this with all of the gas prices and stuff that would drive up your bill but they don't notice because they have a lot of money and don't care therefore they should die and burn in hell with all of the lawyers and other bad people on this ball we call earth that really isn't a perfect sphere because of the mountains and valleys makes it look all jagged but from space it looks like a sphere but looks may be deceiving so don't think that the world is a sphere no matter what other people say and tell them to eat themselves when they try to convince you that the earth is really a sphere but it isn't just like how most ignorant people think that Columbus found America but he really didn't that was Leif Erickson, but Columbus really found the Bahamas thinking they were penis outside of china and he was wrong so everyone forget Columbus and remember some other sailor like Henry Hudson who tried to find the northern passage but didn't so his crew killed him but a he was a great man any way so remember him instead of Columbus or remember William Penn who created Pennsylvania or remember your grandma or someone but not Columbus so go ahead and think that the earth is flat even though it isn't and it can have for corners if you think about it so go die and fall off a cliff or something interesting like that or at least get a life that want’ to penis e a cool record like the one I'm setting right now so go to a pawnshop and buy a life or kill yourself and get a new one or something weird like that or I will force you to and if you are still reading this you are an amazing human because I forget most of the stuff I’ve written already except for the great white shark thing at the beginning of the article and I remember that I need to go see some good movies tomorrow or sometime in the near future like within a week or something but forget that I'm only at 3500 words now so lets go to 4000 penis and then maybe I’ll call it quits because this is boring and I would rather write another article that is good and long but not all one sentence like this one so let's come up with some final five hundred words or so to say before I stop writing all of the nonsense so let's brainstorm ideas like poo, ducks, lemons, flanges, more ducks and star wars which sound about like enough and I like star wars out of there so let's talk about some penis star wars stuff like Kit Fisto who has weird tentacle things on his head and Ki-Adi-Mundi who has two brains and is on the Jediwhich is penis honor and privilege because it is and Kit Fisto gets killed by Palpatine in the 3rd movie like Mace Windu who is cool and I like his light saber because it is purple unlike the standard blue and green colors which I prefer green out of but most people seem to like the blue colors but who cares about them they like blue and green is better so you better not like blue or you are some lame person that will be lame for the rest of your life like some people who think that they are cool but are really posers and they live their life not knowing that they are continually mocked and made fun of all of the time behind their backs and that they are really dumb or something so go out and tell all of the posers you know to not be posers anymore and tell them that they should go jump in a lake or something insulting like that and make them run and cry and you can laugh at them and hope they don't tell their mom who will be mad at you so maybe you shouldn't even do that you should just laugh at them behind their backs while they live the poser life and I'm near 4000 words now so let me slow down now yeah I have about a hundred words left so let me write down the exact amount before I stop writing so let me finish this thing up by talking about donuts and their fried goodness and how they make you fat and stuff but they do taste good so you should eat them because they are good and they taste good even though you could get fat but no one cares so eat them and be happy and I am starting to near 4000 now so just be a bit patient and this has been fun guys so let me finish right about, where you should wait for it, and wait, 'till right about, where we are almost there, having just two more for that you should wait, while this actually isn’t going to stop because I want this to keep going for a little while longer so that I can still break some record but man am I tired so I think I will actually shut up now, nope this has to continue forever and will continue for years and then a Bert killed the 3-legged guy and ate his orange while pooping and then I shall say the bird's name is "a bird who walked across the street killed a guy with a Minecraft nose and stuff. Jesus Christ is my lord and savior.You guys probably think that that is the worlds longest sentence, but it's not,because I just keep on adding commas, and it's pretty easy, if you think about it, so anyway there is this girl at school and she's my friend, and all but she's turning really mean, its a different person, and im trying to beat the record, but that girl, who likes this boy, who likes this girl, and who likes this other boy, and that same kid likes this other girl, but that girl like another guy, but the guy is actualy a 40 year old man that eats penis for a living for the ability to never show the meerkats who's doing the write things oh and my last remark is that socialism does not work because look at Europe and Greece which is failing miserably; America always wins, there is no doubt about America's beauty, Amen and I just made it longer, and longer still as I continue to talk and talk and talk and talk throughout this, though I believe it would be referred to more as typing, so I will continue to type and type and type and type and type until I grow bored of it, and I have so I will take my leave soon, but not before I say that I somehow managed to make this already super long sentence longer, so HALLEILUIA, but we are not done yet everything I just said IS NOT RELEVANT to daily life, if you read this all you have no life, and if you comment on the talk page "I can beat this and i know i can because im beating it right now and the last one is stupid and i want to put it in japanese and then english and then japanese and then english and then japanese and then put it in a bad translator that sucks really bad because i can and i want to show you my result and if you dont want to see it then to bad and its not a copy its actually better because i said it was and admins if you delete this than you might as well delete his because mine is way better and his is stupid but heres my attempt to bet him and im not a troll by the way but anyway here it is Male or female lived my smell, smell, to orange, the soul of all the other birds lick this cat lived in the lane in my house was Charles as the name of only seen,, , and as the loser blonde some who do not know, the capital city Paris Hilton and ass town of Gay both, the country of her own in the United States and even rotten old, dirty, as arrest Mekurakita Street it is full of anarchy in the same way within the government and the city really, even a little the United States it is dirty little actually: SAC America alias between Rose and Belmont is some shit that reminds me of celebrities it's only in the state, but it does not make sense I probably both my heart and as a nation of Somalia has no government, it is such as to damage all such, but who, or snorted to duck most of my , of the soul that is filled with nonsense and ridiculous you are now down input to fat long some care to some strange, you are trying to set some sort of weird record here something like, I do not set some sort of record, it is cool and a whole bunch, so I would add it to become famous If you have something unusual the book, I set the record of all the skateboard of these, reminded the Rob & Big Big black eat for three weeks and donut and banana, Rob will be in the Guinness Book of world Records was my dream always is, the weirdness after this, such as the part of the record, they get the plaque to say the record both set, they are my words of possibility or question mark or exclamation point is really long I ever want to get me one of them the reason of writing all this stuff down without the use of end mark of statement or some other period like other symbols that might end the streak, is, now it is, it is meant to put you to sleep just, but you have to count really, we want to keep counting until do not know what will come of the trillions after, it count the sheep that you are kept awake it will take time for me to count as, but time, so it will take a while to count the few minutes from trillion seconds it just a year or will take, does it have deteriorated duck just something If you would be bad even as, in many cases, in my life at the time, how they die, they are of some large companies because the goose is a more aggressive young around unlike the great white shark that is eaten by the mother as long as you do not get away with other people chief Executive Officer and (CEO), we humans are, because they have a mother, it is not important any of it, how what you make it to live, hunt to make the money of people a lot that you can, and do not have a mother that does not teach them anything, then, they leave you with your father, they have a mother, and it is not the case, something If you have, your mother was so greedy pig of some it has become just wanted sex and money, and the money portion, which is the envy of your friends, she was depressed, and you over-to have killed themselves from ingestion, until the rich people some, you know about it, check the file somewhere, you're not aware that it has died of overdose she since the wax, to buy medicine, tears and eyes get all of you, you have a way for me to go is called the mother, just now, I like the 10,000 words is the longest sentence you it is necessary to know that it is not live without that woman and found that it is, you, so start crying, I went to a six-speed, we had a ton of projects, and this your because we chose the disease from hat was a sick, me to go along with me and my Let's throw away the words of some, such as emphysema that had to be a report in the 4th grade father came out in emphysema is a form of lung cancer that is causing the 98% by smoking, which reminds me of how to write a cigarette: "You lit the fire, leaf acquisition lap, of the plant in the paper Grandpa my, I remember that story you told me about yourself because it is going out on a quest for long for your input, rather than ordinary text, I today then, the term "suck it he, and the character of the typewriter on, they, it is possible to where the character is a typewriter to remember, my grandpa came to typing it it when it was "your age" about how they cover it helped him a lot when, so today, I had to enter it as say never regret taking the class is a high-speed type R very, and he write this article to take very long I'll go now, it has not been expected pace that soon quite far, because with me almost as fast as he, he finally me there so as not to be input bad at all, and even fun because it is full of fun, perhaps, you will want to mess this article. When you have finished writing this article on the web site of this dam, serious some records and would only arrest, when you use that excuse, the mother that holds the reading of readers they "it is said, "the text of one or more just, but it continues to be long 10,000 words, to go at a pace reasonable still, the charger, the statement, how you are trying to shatter consecutive year for most it's just won the record in no Super Bowl that it is trying to ground and most of those long record like, I doubt that to win the future one they are close, but they ever better than the 49ers and Cowboys is the best team, because nobody care about it the game, I'm trying to win a serious Super Bowl some Despite living in San Diego, patriot their, and patriot Padres as you go to the charger boo, Padres, so too bad they are bad, I hate the charger, but they are my favorite team, like most of my Dodgers so, get a lot of money to spend the Yankees along with Yankees you do not mind, the Marlins and the Padres, there is little ray to buy a rod for a lot of Yankees after you get almost nothing I to obtain the money, but whether Derek Jeter are fighting this season for the first place but still without - Yankees that the Padres will do they so like anyone expensive players and their Johnny Damon and rod but because it sucks more, Royals because it is a team better all around that can beat the Yankees and even was able to hit a lot and really suck, now, the Rockies, they lose either in the Rockies and sailors, for a while go to the World Series last year you do not stop lose, they are the last place of the NL west, it is the place of use Padres is for they, but started to win the game and hit the home runs wondering, NL in sinus in spite of have a crime almost the exception of the person Adrian Gonzalez are leading, they will be run at least in scoring league in home runs, but his RBI is pretty good, the last now even teams that are not, they are similar to something 5 or away, but I let the fun story like or something dirt and water and food of the screw to do so I think you do not know well, but I talk with food, a lot of things, because it is they, food that's best, but the mine, your burrito form Chipotle Mexican spicy some-r and a favorite food happens to be a grill, my mother made ​​an hour that had crumbs on it as very good, it is provided they it in the same way as macaroni this whenever look at it, it makes a water of my mouth, I was very good like all of the food that is totally fine food it is I and a lot of good food to the program they so, because I am the reason you have seen it, the top chefs want to be a judge, sometimes I hate people, they, because they won the first season, people such jabbawockeez as I in a good dance, because they are very good as the soul of supreme, since it finished that there is a great show, can be eliminated as America's Best Dance crew Dance Crew you must see it , and phresh select crew and true, and I super CR3W the words of 1500 only now, what has been done, including me myself and go to big bear ski until now, I like the life biography on fishing I do not have to write the thing some serious Na, fart breathing, swimming,, go, to eat, to sleep, the "lot", my teacher of children, including the one or two words when it is discussed in class whether it is all, but are not limited to, the whole lot that reminds me of fourth grade again, my teacher said 2, he was right and we were wrong, but we all because it had a good time discussing, while having a fun argument with my friend about baseball rather than football, and I who cares so said one, we like the same team all the baseball have, but I medium football I like saints such as the Eagles and 49ers charger and my friend and patriot, but spit and Oe~tsu ass of my team always, my team, they patriots say "cheat", the patriot my team is good they is a way just to spite of the modified version of your own team, won suck and they are it, but we really my I play it and that they do not discuss anything over the baseball is the favorite sport, because I want to we all in and customers Padres it, I we all when it comes to baseball When is my profession it to agree, you will get all of the benefits, after you retire is a good news, I also Upon receiving the payment, I or something man of some governments it since we want to become, so to get the benefit so too, so, principal of I was working at the White House it, and he Ya man of computer they doubt that what happens is the COP during a backup plan my because it was such a thing, he and my father would be cool to work for the government remind me that it has taught e-mail the president to know the whole bunch of time very like being fat because too crap computer, everyone is making fun of him, I think huffs kittens too him, I am sure, what web site ass this gay heck it is not about the city in the "possibility that the writer has been trouble kittens" such as are up to and kittens N00B all trouble, such as when people like to make it in practice to clip the nails of their fingers, it's another a friend of mine just, on the board to find a relaxing and healing I have it I weird noise all kind of things like that annoys the hell out of me like a thing of get me is crazy all he yell get out impatiently really, he also likes and dislikes or hate the sound of chalk, a skin very thin, so you have to have it, the rest of his family so and I clone or twin (s) that there is a whole mess science crap of other learned a long time ago something was when I saw the movie of the class, such as the UHF band that has a mysterious Al in it we or Grade 7, the with a bunch of, inexplicable Al, it is necessary to save the television station with a whole bunch of weird shows like wheel of fish, it is like that for what genetic like some very funny that who rauls the kingdom of wild, to worry about in a whole bunch of animals such a cool and stuff and turtles flamingo such, I will be able to get the part of the meat of this article words of 189,819 it it had to cut the Wikipedia intermediate portion therefore have to, portions of writing the longest word known to man in Methionylthreonylthreonyl ... isoleucine cut out to be the name of the protein that is the longest word the largest known to man that the big name is to go to a big thing is the moral of the gentleman that does not stop here road and women in this story clearly, I continue no matter what you say this means that you must think either, just now, I ought to write a story of some, because my period that I think stick just me, I like women and fish, he went to the house of Clara , they did a good sex, but it can be started with a man and that curl is not enough of the story to set a record but at all really, you every night he decided to write a random crap that does not make sense even here it is not because I am a photo some random, which shows the people who have another guy that has a 3 and two legs are making fun of the man in the two pairs so ripping the flesh of their own in disgust, I 3 I have a nine life cat there is nothing that you can

cut me, I have it If you go it is the longest so far, so world record that has me in the book, until it hit a 3000 words at least, I, stop me now, and I have been working towards that goal to be I do not, after sometime now or tomorrow to those and finish that you're going to the construction, so I have made ​​a right of history before, I can make you jealous of reality now so, if you are still reading this, in this article, must have been really bored by now you and you become the author of the longest sentence on earth to become the actual results on my part , perhaps, alone you are, I will scan the article for the period are afraid you can not you can find until the end of the last, so do not read this, I very much that I really impressed, very, and are separated long way, in this article, as well as the leader of the low-speed, it sucks for you, but I need to use that building, and I will end this now, now , I'm back after a hard day at work, but the thing this long to be called a sentence, such as Mount Fuji as long as its still the case 'was me, now gonna ready to rumble. Everest because IT back is high, Marina trench is deep you do not remove this, speaking of the fish of the sea of all kinds, if preparation is not correct, that you eat, are toxic'll die later you, This is SOME record you live in the ocean, such as better blowfish a ADMINS, you have to delete it well, this is saved I care about people who what, try you break the record you will think it does not, you want to remove it, your people like that, please do not remove it, if you do become, I boycotted the Uncyclopedia that there is a will, I except would not do, I I you guys as if you are angry with Tim for being so annoying as people who do not brush their teeth reminiscent to have killed himself with people of loud and celebrity because I'm tired of reading this jumble of words that does not stop when I make a statement grammatically correct so that you will make you very angry to still have to beat the record of now, reading or perhaps before I up to the evil spirit to break some, because I have some sort of miracle, get Guinness record plaque for setting the record of monsters, such as the nose that you are continuously most to them you or pick up in the tar, ambiguous such fully, I might get something or award, but I also they serious record, such as the weird stuff and some other sentences want the longest is, because it is interesting and unlike this, interesting fact, Star Wars 1 is good because too good and I'm pretty, that you want to remove the two these, such as how to solve the 1x1x1 Rubik's cube laugh is not it is some time. This article is like a bunch of articles in this web site is boring than interesting, but I feel that some delay might laugh at this bundle of crap, who, people is not really interesting this article I I think because they know that, I would put that crap tag in this article, but since that article, I is long because it was either bored, such as counting the Chohitsuji it really is, I dance to do so tend not to nut I did when I saw with Wolves, and boring as dance with a long movie of some of the other wolves and fall asleep while you are actually you small children some are difficult, he would like to have had it many dollars, but as in circulation there, many of them, rather than now, he was present shall be in the case, since the major inflation of some right there, 't so, this country is you don a number of some other says that it does not get the many dollars he your children that much money adding favor and everyone except the people and the low inflation rate I would make it to instead of burning money instead desperately it is not doing a favor and necessary the wealth actually already people I think I can get, and you do not care about inflation, because they have a lot, it will push up the bill and gas prices rather, but they do not notice, but in all, this instead of the Escalade, their money would be driving a Prius is dead, we makes you look jagged it all, mountains and valleys is not a sphere perfect for really, this is referred to as the Earth in times like it is a sphere from outer space that you need to burn in hell with all of the people and other bad lawyer to the ball, but do not care for that, no matter that it is really the earth very, looks sphere is what the world to other people say If you do not think that is, they attempt to convince you, the sphere looks like I may deceive do not tell them to *** F itself, it just, Columbus America ignorant most people it has been found, but the Bahamas, they thought it was an island other than China, because he was wrong, Columbus and Vispucci did not was Amerigo everyone has learned to forget Columbus it really is he really I tried to find a passage in the north how not like you think that, but the crew that he killed him, but do remember him instead Columbus to do so, who he Pennsylvania not sailor of some other, such as the Henry Hudson you can make a, did not was a great man any way to remember the William Penn to remember someone or grandma, Columbus so go ahead Given that it is flat even if it does not, if you think you go fall like that die or cliff obtain life as such, or because something interesting, at least the earth and, because the corner it I went to pawn so if you're still reading, you can purchase a life, kill yourself, and you can get something weird like that the new one, I would want "my SE that it is possible to have in I forgot most of what I except that of the great white shark at the beginning of the article, has already written a record cool is forced to, as has been set now, in the near future, I do tomorrow because remember that there is a need to go to see a good movie some someday, you is similar in something a week or a great man this, but I that the words of 3500 now and like this and forget I long pretty good since all boring, I finished maybe, you'd call it, rather than be in writing another article, and that I have been moved to 4000 and then sentence is in it, before stopping the writing of all of the nonsense, so, let me brainstorm ideas, such as the Star Wars you hear about poop, duck, lemon, flange, to be sufficient and duck more to say, So, there is a tentacle weird stuff on his head, and has two brains, I, very Ki-Adi-Mundi to be Let's come up with the word or 500 some final Let's talk about those Star Wars some fun such as kit Fisto on the Jedi Council is an honor, it is I like Star Wars from there, I prefer the green outside it, Unlike the color standard that looks most people as you like, blue, green, because it is purple, I am a third films like Mace Windu like the light saber of his kit Fisto that's cool I think they like the green and blue, or not good and more than but blue care about them blue love, you that's cool they are so privileged that are killed by Palpatine, but some people who are taking the actual the life they are made they ridiculed continuously, they are better at lame people some will be lame for the rest of your life as the people all the time behind the back the live without knowing that they go out that way, the fun of, to convey everything you take to know for you to not take anymore, you have that it is something really dumb tell them Make the jump in those insulting or something like that lake, run them, Te cry they, and to laugh them can be, who they will mad at you, that you do not tell the mother so that it should wish, you may live a life of challenges that they your should not do probably, I mean like that near the word of "OVER 9000" now, the words of about a hundred, I do so I before you stop writing it is allowed to, I'll let's slow now my left let's write down the exact amount of money, I should laugh at them behind the back of only one good fried and their donut by talking about, quit this thing, they are not good, in spite of can obtain the fat, they are delicious, but who does not care so, although they make it such as fat you are, the 'up to about right, patients and only a little, I have you I'm so fun guy here because we How do you be happy to eat them you must eat them do delicious they records of some man, most of you are starting to 4000 is close to that when it should wait, and wait for it, it has been by about right end is, that it is possible to break the tired I still I This I because we want to continue for a little while with long, I'm not going to stop this really, but there is a need to wait for you, because it has two or more just for that, I think is shut down right now I really you but im not gonna stop i wanna say that it is way longer than that stupid one that i didnt even read and admins dont delete this BECAUSE I ADDED TO SOMETHING TO MAKE THIS LONGER IVE LEFT FOR ∞ YEARS ³³³³⅓⅔⅛⅜" then you also have no life, and omg did you read all of that, if you did then OMG OMG OMG ah wat the heck anyway it's even longer now ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha , I just said a lot of ha's but this sentence, sadly is going to conclude oh wait nope just kidding now it is no no no no no no no just kidding this it it now or is it yes it is and that is 9181 words but anyway have you read this because I might just type more so I'm going to tell you a story about a guy called joe who received a box in the mail so then he opened it and then there was a glove in it and then he opened it and there was a glove so he put it on but then his hand grew so big that it pulled mars's two moons out of its orbit and then they hit earth and that is the end of the story, and now I don't know what to type but I'm free to stop this whenever I want because t3canolis sentence has been beaten by so darn much in fact it's just "There was once this guy named Jim and he said "Hey" and on a completely unrelated note, I'm not gay; I know isn't it amazing and speaking of amazing, firetrucks are cool like birds with ten sets of ears wait that was just a dream but oh well this is a lot harder than I thought because I want to keep ending this god damn mother forking sentence but somehow I pull out a way not to end this dumb ass stupid sentence that I made to beat this guy User:Readmesoon's record of the World's Longest Sentence because I like to show people up and shit like that then again that's kinda gay but like what I said before I am not a gay person so don't hate on this shit because if you do I will pop a freaking cap in your ass and I bet you didn't know that I was that gangster but yeah I be gangster for like fo' rizzlez and shizzles my nizzle and I like to talk like Snoop Dawg and speaking of Snoop Dawg I really want to drop this stupid idea like it's hot and draw a picture but no I will keep on going because I'm a trooper and I don't stop things," which we know we have beaten but that sentence is just talking about not being gay witch is a dumb idea since there is only so much you can write about not being gay so then idubbz said "ahm ghey" because he is ghey, ah sorry gay, I said that to add the humour to it, but is it humor, well whatever you didn't get the humor or humour did you, I bet you didn't because I'm the worst at jokes, and now I'm bored so I will add on to this later but for now it's this long and then I added it a little bit but then if this doesn't get featured in Guinness world records then I will do a million backflips into the toilet because I fell like it and that was just to increase sentence length which is as long as this but not anymore because i am adding on to this sentence and i am not joining words because then this sentence will be shorter and the point of this paqge is to have the worlds longest sentence and I just hit a typo but who cares and this sentence is SOO Meta because it keeps talking about itself but let's stop being meta and have a story so once upon a time in pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis… town there was this guy called pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis who had pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis so he went to the pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis doctor and he said "you've got pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" because he liked stating the obvious but then pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis died of pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosisand that is the end of this story and don't question me on the choice of words ever and if you do Than it will be bad anyway once upon a time there was a person who kicked butt in drawing class but too bad that isn't a subject because if it was then school wouldn't be a thing and instead It would just be a bench singing gorillaz song called 68 state even though it has no lyrics but no one cared because they made a car with chips that were specificly pizza flavoured shapes that are delicious and then the ≤≠≤→·§ø \/\/ól_lLd ÿ0u like ło /\/\łhrf¢|< what was that anyway here is a line because it was cool i am a guy person and i am looking for a girlfried zombie apocilypas i would hide at a place that not a aalot of people will go to i am tired of this thing called the school of magical arts that I am enrolled there with this mean teacher that assigns rediculious homework that takes 3000000000000000000000 years to complete, I am not making this up, so I decided to run a away too

I wouldn’t recommend watching this movie... if you do take serious drugs first. It helps.

Watching a 1966 western titled The Professionals.



To me he will always be old man Randolph Duke in Trading Places.

I don't think I have ever seen him anywhere else beside Trading Places and in Pretty Woman (James Morse).

He does have a long resume:
