Well, this is an awkward situation…
Once upon a time some guy of no determinant origin named Tommy Wiseau made a horrible so-bad-it’s-good movie called The Room.
The guys over at TGWTG.com reviewed it and they were asked to remove it for copyright infringement even though it clearly falls under parody and fair use. The first review of The Room by Obscurus Lupa, which she reviewed when she first joined the TGWTG site was also removed. So, TGWTG responded, as did the Cinema Snob.
In my search for more fun stuff concerning this movie, I discovered that TGWTG were not the first that Wiseau Films went after.
It’s a shame really because The Room has gotten Rocky Horror levels of notoriety and is a true cult classic.
