About “THE ROOM”
From WIKIPEDIA: The Room is a 2003 independent film written and directed by its star, Tommy Wiseau, who is also credited on screen as both the movie's producer and executive producer…The Room tells the melodramatic story of a love triangle between a man, his future wife, and his best friend.

Without any studio support, Wiseau spent over $7 million on production and marketing for the film. Wiseau promotes the film as a black comedy and insists that its humor is actually intentional, although cast members have publicly disputed these claims and many audience members generally view the film as a poorly-made drama.

The Room has been cited by some critics as one of the worst films ever made, and has been called ‘the Citizen Kane of bad movies.’ After a brief run in Los Angeles, the film went on to develop a cult following...”

**absinthe, "la fée verte", is historically described as a distilled, highly alcoholic (45%–74% ABV) beverage. it is an anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs, including the flowers and leaves of the herb artemisia absinthium, commonly referred to as "grande wormwood". absinthe has been portrayed as a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug, due to the presence of the chemical thujone, found in small quantities. this spirit was singled out and blamed for its alleged harmful effects and by 1915, absinthe had been banned in the United States and in most European countries. commercial distillation of absinthe resumed in 2007 in the US.
