How to Watch The Room Online
Whether you're a true fan of The Room or just want to see what all the hype is about, there's no easier way to get your fix than by watching it yourself. Thankfully, Tommy Wiseau recently uploaded the movie to YouTube, making it completely free for everyone.
Now that you have the opportunity to watch it in its entirety, here's everything you need to know before watching The Disaster Artist.
1. Watch it on YouTube
YouTube has a habit of making design iterations that push the app's interface toward "lean back." It's a strategy that's especially important in the living room, where users often don't want to sift through a menu-laden experience. They simply want to find something to watch on a screen, according to Sarah Ali, who heads up YouTube's living room products.
One of the most notable changes is the recent redesign of the app's TV interface. Rather than being cluttered with a bunch of different buttons and options, the app now makes it easier to swipe up from the home screen to access the full menu. While the change isn't a dramatic overhaul, it's an improvement that could help get more people to stick around longer when they're watching video on their TVs, Ali says.
Another big change is that YouTube now allows you to watch a movie in sync with up to six other people, which is great for long-distance friendships or for sharing video content with friends who live far away. To use it, you create a room on YouTube and share the URL with your friends. They'll be directed to the room and can start streaming the video in sync with you.
You'll need to have a strong internet connection to get the best video quality, but it's a simple way to watch videos together with your friends. It also includes a search function and an audio chat option, so you can have a conversation while you're watching.
Sync Video is an excellent option for group watching of videos on YouTube or Vimeo, because it offers a lot of control over the privacy of your room and lets you add your own playlists. It even has a built-in audio player, so you can listen to your favorite songs while you watch.
Metastream is another great option for watching videos with a group of people, and it's free to use. It's easy to set up a room, and it supports video streaming from services like YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion, and SoundCloud. It also has a search bar to help you find the perfect video for your viewing party, and it lets you set up different user permissions so that people can't join your room without your approval.
3. Watch it in a theater
If you're planning to see The Room in a theater, you'll have to plan ahead. You'll need to be sure you have your ticket and that you can find a seat in the right section. You'll also need to remember to bring a snack or drink. And, of course, you'll need to get to the bathroom.
The word "theatre" comes from Greek theatron, meaning "place of seeing." A theatre is a space where a performance is given. Its design reflects the needs of the audience and the nature of the performance itself, although theatres have evolved considerably since ancient times.
In general, a theatre may have a stage area where the performance takes place and a separate area for the audience. A number of theatrical devices are used to allow the audience to follow the action on stage and to give the performance an engrossing effect.
A theatre typically has a balcony, which is a seating area with a view of the stage. These were originally built as private seating for the rich, but are less common today.
The balcony is often used to show a scene of special significance and to create the sense of the audience being part of the action, and it can be used to create the illusion that the stage is moving. In addition to the balcony, many theatres have an upper circle of seats that is usually reserved for members of the cast.
You'll want to take your time, as you'll likely be sitting there for more than an hour, but it is well worth it. You'll have an experience that you won't forget in a hurry. And you might even see something that you've never seen before.
4. Watch it with friends
It can be hard to plan a movie night with friends, especially if you’re miles apart. Maybe you’re in a long distance relationship, or you have friends who moved to different cities. Either way, there are a few options available to you when it comes to watching movies together remotely.
One option is to use a service like Gaze, which allows you to stream videos in sync with others in a virtual room. This may be helpful if you’re looking to host a party or are trying to show off some of your favorite movies to someone else.
Using Gaze is simple enough. Simply create a room, send a link to your friend, and they can start streaming their content in the same room.
In addition to watching content in sync, you can chat with each other through text, voice or video. The site offers a wide range of settings for you to play around with, including Theater Mode, muting the chat and enabling reactions.
To get started, sign up for a free account on TwoSeven and choose your preferred service. This includes Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Netflix, Vimeo, YouTube and your personal videos. You can also add friends via email or invite them later. You can choose who should be able to control playback and chat, and even enable night mode and theater mode. Depending on the amount of people you want to include, you can also set up a private room for yourself or a group of friends.
