Make room for The Room bobbleheads!

We stay in close touch with Tommy Wiseau, the, um, creative force behind The Room (next showing: Feb 27).

Since we started our regular Participaction screenings of the film several months ago, audiences have grown and grown. Inexplicably, Ottawa wants more The Room! So, when Tommy offered us a couple of cases of The Room bobbleheads, we had to say, “Spoon!”

Uh, I mean, we had to say, “yes.”

The bobblheads arrived today, and they’re going on sale at the Mayfair asap.

He speaks! He nods! He’s made in China! He’s a better actor than the real Tommy Wiseau!

(See him in action here: The Room Bobblehead.)

So next time you come to the Mayfair, bring some extra cash, because starting today, for only $25, you can bring the star of The Room back to your room!

File this under “better late than never”

Two very dedicated Ghostbusters fans – Matt Provencal and Phil Trottier – showed up at our November Ghostbusters double bill in full uniform. And after the show, they powered up their proton accelerators and got rid of an ugly little spud who’d been hanging around the North balcony since the mid-40s.

When we asked them how the bustin’ made them feel, they replied simply, “Good.”

(And feel free to show up in costume yourself, any time, for any film. Tuxedos for Bond? Zombie makeup for Zone of the Dead? Chain mail for Lord of the Rings? Valentino for Valentino? Why not?)
