Hey there, cool cats! I’m sure that it has been absolutely exhausting to get through these past weeks without my wit and suggestions for local film happenings. I do apologize for this. I can’t imagine.
However, I’m coming back this week with a truly awesome What to Watch suggestion.
“The House that Drips Blood on Alex” is going to be shown before “The Room” at Madcap Theaters in Tempe on Saturday. Yes, tonight at 8 p.m. Only $8 to laugh, form inside jokes about the on-screen hilarity and to see truly awful acting.
You all remember my post on “The Room,” right? Now I’m here to tell you about newer Tommy Wiseau awesomeness.
“The House that Drips Blood on Alex” is a short feature about, well, a house that drips blood on Alex. Crazy. Here’s the trailer.
You’re convinced now, yes? You should be.
Wiseau plays Alex, and Alex lives in a house that drips blood on him. Bizarre, but aren’t you curious? “Home sweet house.” That’s really all you need to know as far as the plot line goes.
Also, Wiseau is absolutely silly. After talking to him, watching him interact with people and watching an interview from the short, I’ve come to the conclusion that he just lives in his head. I don’t even know what he’s talking about sometimes, but it’s almost captivating.
His acting though… different story all together. It’s terrible. But he’s just so sincere, you’ve got to love him. And it’s so frightful that you’ve just got to laugh. Plus, he has the oddest lines. He seriously referred to himself as the wrong gender at one point in the short film. There’s not a whole lot I can say without giving away too much. The film is only about 13 minutes, after all.
Go see “The Room” tonight, and this will be a hilarious bonus. I promise. (I do believe that “The House that Drips Blood on Alex” is actually worse than “The Room.”)
If you can’t make it to the screening, at least watch the short film online. And if you don’t have 13 minutes to laugh, then you need to prioritize. Your homework can wait. So can your significant other. And who needs to bathe? Or feed the dog?
