The Room/Headscratchers

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Johnny is referred to as The Gonk, regardless of our opinion of our opinion of his actor wouldn't his character be closer to informed attractiveness?
    • Informed attractiveness is when characters gush over how hot the character is, like they do for Lisa. They don't do that for Johnny, as I recall (and I'm sure as hell not rewatching to check)... they say what an awesome guy he is a lot, but not that he's attractive.
  • Twice in the movie, Lisa says "You owe me one." Once she says it to Mark, and once to Johnny. No one ever explains what Lisa did for either one of them that they owe her one. Was that supposed to be some kind of catchphrase for her, or what?
    • You're expecting The Room to make any sense whatsoever. Stop it.
