Win tickets to THE ROOM & Q & A Session with the star Greg Sestero

I was lucky enough to experience THE ROOM a couple of years ago. Boy, I had a ball. It is fantastic fun. You actually participate in the film, heckling, shouting out catch phrases, and the best fun, throwing spoons and footballs at the screen. Yep, you're allowed to do that (the poor cleaners at the cinema after).  My favourite film folk in Perth, Luna Cinemas have now brought Greg Sestero to Perth to discuss his book and host a Q & A. And they are again hosting a screening of THE ROOM. You do not want to miss this, friends. 

So the kind folk at Luna Cinemas have given me 5 double passes for Greg Sestero's Q & A on Tuesday 15th and five double passes to the screening of The Room on Monday 14th 9pm.  

I will be there. Wouldn't miss it. Tell you friends. And if you don't win, its worth grabbing a ticket and coming anyway. You won't regret it.

All you have to do is tweet the link below to be in the draw.  

If you can make it to both nights and you win, I will give you both doubles. What a deal!

Described by one reviewer as “like getting stabbed in the head”, the film gradually developed an increasingly passionate following that savoured its surreal performances, unusual production values and bizarre narrative. Now in its fifth year at Luna Leedervile, The Room has become an international phenomenon that rivals The Rocky Horror Picture Show for cult appeal. Readers need not have seen The Room to appreciate co-star Greg Sestero’s account of how a chance meeting with The Room's enigmatic writer/director/star Tommy Wiseau allowed him to become closely involved in a passion project that would defy every law of artistry, business and interpersonal relationships. The Disaster Artist reveals a first-hand account of what went on behind the scenes of one of the most legendary cult movies ever made: Tommy Wiseau's The Room.  Check out the book review here  Tickets now on sale and online - $25 / $23 conc (Rev Film Fest tickets holders get conc rate) The Room(M) screens Mon July 14 at 9.0pm hosted by Tristan Fidler

The evening is hosted by TRISTAN FIDLER who will guide you through a really strange, bizarre & unique cinematic experience! Viewer guides and plastics spoons provided. Bring your friends and plastic spoons and join us once again as Wiseau returns to the big screen at Luna Leederville for another sensational  night of this of the cult phenomena that’s so bad it’s good! The Room is basically a love triangle set in a San Francisco apartment building. But it’s filled with sub-plots that go nowhere, dodgy green-screen skylines, lots of un-sexy sex scenes and acting that wouldn't pass muster on a soft-focus soapie. The Room has garnered a massive world-wide cult following (especially in Perth!) leaving audiences stunned and laughing and is beloved by comic actors such as Kristen Bell, Paul Rudd and Alec Baldwin.

WE LOVE ROOFTOP MOVIES—IT’S OFFICIAL

PERTH READERS, Click through to www.myshoppinglist.com.au to win in-season tickets to experience Rooftop Movies.

Perth cinema-lovers have lapped up the launch of Rooftop Movies, the latest instalment from the Artrage team.  The pilot programme kicked off with a VIP soirée, Wednesday 29 February, which saw Moi and husband and 250 special guests, among the first to be treated to the delights of Perth’s newest summer attraction.

OUR EXPERIENCE

Hubby and I were very impressed with the quality of the sound and picture.  It is certainly an amazing venue and we can’t wait to go again with friends.  Do bring along a small pillow to rest your head on the deckchairs and a jacket in case the temperature drops a little.  It was windy on launch night, which wasn’t perfect, but it couldn’t mar the fabulous experience of sitting amongst the beautifully lit Perth buildings as a backdrop, whilst laughing at ‘The Big Lebowski’.  In fact, I don’t think it matters what movie you see. It is all about the experience.

FANTASTIC PUBLIC RESPONSE

Artrage director, Marcus Canning, says, “We’ve had an overwhelmingly positive response to this pilot programme, selling close to 2000 tickets so far which is almost a third of the total seats in the first season”

“Our opening night screening of The Big Lebowski sold out in a matter of minutes, and our first Double Feature on March 2, Heathers and Suspiria, sold out earlier this week.

“Season Two will be announced mid-March and run until the end of April. If the programme is successful we will look to running the programme annually from December to April,” says Canning.

The film programme includes classic and cult movies, recent releases as well nightly pre and post screening entertainments, including ongoing weekly special events .

A partnership between Artrage and City of Perth Parking, Rooftop Movies is located on the roof of the Roe Street Car Park in Northbridge. The partnership allows patrons to combine the cost of parking and the cost of the movie into one ticket price.
