History Headscratchers / TheRoom2003

** If you wanted to be ''really'' generous, you could interpret Mark's reaction as simply the denial/anger [[FiveStagesOfGrief Stages of Grief]]. He was just flat-out being an unremarkable douche earlier in the film. It isn't until [[spoiler: Johnny's suicide]] that he realizes, on some level, just how far out of hand things have gotten, and he's understandably unable to fully process the situation in the minute or two he has left onscreen before the end of the film. His blaming Lisa is the beginning of a VillainousBSOD which could quickly shift to a more appropriate MyGodWhatHaveIDone -- he just doesn't have a chance to get that far before the credits roll.

** Also note that he [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere stops hanging out with them]] after the tuxedo football scene, so however they met (which, as the above troper noted, could be a lot of ways), it apparently didn't stick
*** That's more a case of RealLifeWritesThePlot, as the actor had told Wiseau he had another acting job he had to do, but they never bothered filming all his scenes.
*** Maybe he's just pretending to be their friend to get material for a thesis he's writing? You probably wouldn't find so many clearly insane people in one social circle anywhere else.

*** Buying cameras they never used was doubly bad financially, as unless you're a major studio (and sometimes not even then), most people rent cameras.

*** His last words are "God forgive me." He must have been considering at least the spiritual implications of what he was doing.

* So, did Johnny hit Lisa, or what? Granted, Lisa is hardly averse to lying to "make things interesting." But Johnny's loud denials fall a bit flat when, while yelling at Lisa that he would never hit her, he pushes her violently to the couch. Also, he's been known to laugh at the thought of women being hospitalized by a jealous boyfriend.

** To actually try to answer the question, it's obvious that Wiseau simply doesn't know how to keep a consistent character. Sure, Johnny might not have hit Lisa ''before'', but regardless of whether what he did qualifies as an actual ''hit'' per se, it does seem very reminiscent of actual domestic abuse situations, rendering the question of whether it were actually a hit moot. Keep in mind he did this more than once in the same damn scene. But again, that has more to do with Wiseau being unable to keep a character consistent with himself - Johnny gets outraged in an abusive way when being accused of ''[[IResembleThatRemark getting outraged in an abusive way]]''. That's clearly not the character Wiseau intended to write, it's Wiseau not realizing this is contradictory with Johnny's established persona.

** Maybe they all have a similar football as a sign of frienship.

** In Johnny's case, it's supposed to be payback for her lifting his mood with pizza and alcohol after his disappointment at not getting his promotion. In Mark's case...um...it may be because she has wanted to talk to him before, but he has always blown her off because he's "too busy."

** Well, there's been times in real life when someone has approached a house at the same time as a friend, and called out to the first individual without being noticed, so they had to enter the house separately. So... maybe they're just all idiots.

*** I have met at least one RealLife person whose middle name was actually a single letter, "D". It's possible that Chris R's last name is ''literally'' "R". (Which also explains why I don't think I've yet seen anyone on this site type it with a period, as in "R." ''Everyone's in on it and I only just figured it out.'')

** Well, save for Denny when they’re in tuxes.

* Who owns the football? Denny is holding it the first time we see it on the rooftop, then Mark is holding it in the next rooftop scene, then Johnny takes it, and then Denny arrives with it in both football-playing scenes.
