Suspect Looks Like OOTD Bloopers

Howdy everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Suspect Looks Like OOTD! This look was inspired by a comment that I hold very close to my heart that I look like a “Great Value Hayley Williams”. Lol – Hey, she’s beautiful but maybe she looks like a Great Value Lil Red?! I kid, I kid! As that comment was so funny to me, I just had to use it for a Suspect Looks Like video on my TikTok that featured a fit with Hayley Williams vibes. Leave it to me to find the FUN in a comment that was meant to be mean. I took it as a compliment! Peep the bloopers and let’s have a laugh:

One of my favorite movies of all time is The Room lol. It’s just so damn funny and I love making people who haven’t seen it before watch it. Last year, Johnny and I were lucky enough to go to a screening that was hosted by Greg Sestero, AKA Mark. It was so amazing to meet Greg and we even got to read lines from the script of The Room together! This past weekend we were supposed to go to another screening of The Room that Greg would be at and unfortunately the plans fell through. Johnny got his flu, Covid, and RSV shot on Friday and felt worse for the wear all weekend long.

I was SO disappointed that we wouldn’t be able to see Greg again but I did end up getting the next best thing. He replied to my comment on one of his Facebook posts! I like to think he remembered me and Johnny as I messaged him after last year’s event and he replied to that too. What an angel! Check out this hilarious interaction:

LOL when I tell you guys I geeked and fan girled so hard you have NO idea. Greg is always posting the funniest stuff on his social media and replying to fans with hilarious The Room related comments. To be the recipient of one of them was such a gift and I was genuinely shocked when he replied right away. Greg is a true class act and is so genuine. After meeting him IRL, it’s perfectly clear that he loves what he does and really enjoys meeting enthusiasts of one of the best worst movies ever made. We might not have made it to the screening but this made my life! ❤

Big ups to Greg Sestero for taking the time to reply to little old me. When a door shuts, Greg opens a window or however that saying goes!

Have you ever had any celebrity interactions on social media? Have you been to a screening of The Room before? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

A Night At The (Movie) Theater OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the blooper reel from my Night At The (Movie) Theater OOTD! Last Saturday was one of the best nights ever because Johnny and I attended a screening of The Room hosted by Greg Sestero, AKA Mark. An event like this has been on my bucket list since I was fifteen and it finally happened almost exactly fifteen years later. Good things take time, I suppose! Maybe that’s why these bloopers turned out the way they did – this was an ultra speedy OOTD shoot because it was windy AF out lol. Let’s take a look:

Getting punched by my imaginary friend. OOF

One thing that you might not know about yours truly is that I am not great at meeting new people. I definitely would consider myself an introverted extrovert and it takes me a while to get warmed up with people I’m not used to. I often leave these situations thinking “that wasn’t my best work”. Back in November, I was in an absolute tizzy before meeting Tim Misny for the first time so you could only imagine the state I was in before meeting Greg Sestero! Johnny, of course, was as cool as can be both times with his insistence of “he’s just a guy” lol.

I was a complete mess meeting Greg and I admit it wholeheartedly. It was just so crazy to be face to face with the person that I have seen more times than I can count in one of my all time favorite movies. I blabbered, I stuttered, and believe you me when I say I left that encounter feeling like the face palm emoji. Thankfully, Greg was just the nicest human being on planet Earth and I still felt welcomed while feeling ALL of the yikes. In fact, I sent him a Facebook message the following day and he replied! My best work? Not in a long shot. Still one of the best moments of my life? You KNOW it!

Meeting new people is difficult for me. Meeting celebrities is, clearly, even worse. But, hey, at least I own it!

Have you met any celebrities? What was an instance when a social situation wasn’t your best work? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

A Night At The (Movie) Theater OOTD

A Night At The (Movie) Theater OOTD

Hello! This past weekend was an absolutely fantastic one and was jam packed with SO many activities. Most noteworthy was on Saturday when we went to a screening of The Room at the Nightlight theater. This wasn’t just any screening, though, because it was hosted by Greg Sestero who played Mark! Meeting Greg was one of the best, most cool experiences of my life and Johnny and I are still in awe that we read lines from the script of The Room with him. For our night out, I put together a fun little look so let’s take a look:

^^^ Ya’ll know I love me a brick wall! 😀

Who? What? Wear?

Leopard Print Blazer: Christian Siriano, TJMaxx

The Room T-Shirt: Christmas gift from my sister!

Coated Skinny Jeans: Seven Jeans, TJMaxx

Heeled Boots: Olivia Miller, TJMaxx

*** The turquoise cross earrings are Lucky Brand

For this OOTD, I wanted to be cute (of course) but I also wanted to be comfortable in the movie theater. I suppose I didn’t have to worry about the comfort level too much in hindsight, though, because Johnny and I sat in plush recliners and it was glorious! Regardless, I think I still would have worn the exact same thing because I love a blazer and skinny jean combo. It is casual yet oh so chic and I like that this look was more understated but still unique enough to be eye catching.

To begin this outfit, I started with the obvious. That being my T-shirt that my sister got me with Tommy Wiseau on it and the phrase “You’re tearing me apart, Lisa!”. I mean, you’re not going to not wear some Room merch to a screening of it. This shirt was actually on the merch table at the theater and Greg and I had a laugh that I already had one! And, trust and believe I had my own copy of The Room on DVD and The Disaster Artist locked and loaded in my purse for him to sign too. 🙂

The next thing I did was slip on my coated skinnies by Seven Jeans. These are one of my absolute favorite pairs and I love the surprise snakeskin pattern when the lighting hits just right. Because I was just wearing a T-shirt, I wanted to spice things up where I could and these jeans added a pop of visual interest that a normal pair of skinnies wouldn’t provide. Another perk of my Seven skinnies is that they make my legs look a mile long and that is difficult to come across on my barely over five foot one frame.

Once the base of my outfit was settled, I shopped the blazer department in my wardrobe and selected my leopard print blazer by Christian Siriano. This piece truly embraces the “comfy, but make it fashion” vibe I was looking to achieve. It is made out of the softest cloth material and it honestly felt like I was wrapping myself in a blanket rather than a blazer. Adding this little leopard print number also shows off the technique of mixing and matching patterns. Since the snakeskin pattern on the pants and the leopard print on the blazer were both fairly subdued, I got away with putting them together. They also featured a similar color palette so they worked in tandem rather than clashing.

Finally, it was onto shoes and accessories. For shoes, I went with one of my favorite pairs of heeled boots by Olivia Miller. They provided an extra boost of length as well as a touch of bling with the silver chain because I didn’t plan on adding much jewelry. When you are mixing and matching patterns, that serves as an accessory in itself. So, I popped on a pair of turquoise cross earrings for a bit of color and was ready for my Night At The (Movie) Theater!

I had the best night out with my Johnny and I think I looked my best too. Here’s to many more screenings of The Room together! ❤

Do you have any questions about mixing and matching patterns? What is your favorite cult film? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Greg Sestero Meet & Greet

Standard
Greg Sestero Meet & Greet

Hellooo everyone! I don’t know about all of you, but Johnny and I had a banner weekend! On Friday, I got dinner with my bestie and then a few of our friends came to the apartment. We had a date night on Saturday and on Sunday we celebrated my sweet niece at her fifth birthday party. For our date, Johnny and I attended a screening of The Room at the Nightlight theater in downtown Akron. The best part of all? Greg Sestero who played Mark was there!! Check it out:

image_50409985(5)image_50423553(9)image_50429441(6)image_50406913(7)image_50362625image_50416129(9)image_50365441(1)image_50390273(3)

I was introduced to The Room by a theater friend when I was in high school and it will forever be one of my favorites. I have been to countless midnight showings of the movie in Cleveland and have made all of my friends and family watch it with me too. In fact, Johnny and I watched it on our first date! It has always been a dream of mine to go to a meet and greet session with Greg Sestero or Tommy Wiseau. Unfortunately, their tours always take place in locations like LA, New York, or Portland so this dream has never came to fruition. Until this weekend!

Thanks to one of the social media pages I manage that is all about entertainment in Akron, I learned about the Greg Sestero event at the Nightlight. I bought tickets for me and Johnny immediately and was counting down the days until March sixteenth. I have been looking forward to this for so long and our evening at the theater was everything I ever hoped it could be and so much more. It’s not every day that one of your lifelong dreams comes true. 🙂

When we arrived at the Nightlight, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Greg Sestero was just there lol. Johnny and I were one of the first people to get to the theater and we were able to walk right up to him. We chatted, took selfies, Greg signed my copy of The Room and The Disaster Artist, and I bought a copy of the original script of The Room that Greg signed too. It was SO insane to meet Greg and I was incredibly nervous. I shouldn’t have been because he was nice as can be and welcomed all of us moviegoers like good friends.

After our meet and greet, Johnny and I grabbed some drinks and made our way into the theater for the show. We sat right at the front in comfy recliner chairs and this was an excellent choice… Before the screening of The Room began, Greg came in to introduce the movie and talk a bit with all of us. Then, he pulled out a copy of the script for The Room and wanted some audience members to read lines with him. Since Johnny and I were right in front of him with our own copy of the script, he chose us to play Johnny and Lisa. And, of course, Greg read as Mark. We flipped to page eighteen and read about two pages worth of lines together. It. Was. AMAZING!!!!

The screening of the movie was not as rowdy as prior ones that I have been to, but we all had a ton of fun. Although we didn’t do some of the traditional chants and phrases throughout the movie, we were all laughing hysterically, cheering, and yelling out our own quips to make us laugh even more. After the show, Greg came back in for a Q&A and told us he could hear us all perfectly from way outside the theater! The talk back session at the end was enlightening and Greg answered all of our questions (including two of mine) truthfully and with good humor – he does a stellar Tommy Wiseau impression! This was, hands down, one of the best nights of my life!

I am still elated from mine and Johnny’s night at the Nightlight and I don’t think it will ever wear off. I will be looking forward to when Greg or Tommy comes close by again so fingers crossed they make their way to Akron soon for round two!

Target Movie Haul

Standard
Target Movie Haul

Howdy! One of my favorite things now is collecting movies. I am one of those people that always prefer to have the tangible object. I don’t do Ebooks or movie downloads, give me the hard copy of the book or DVD any day! And, because of that, both my movie and book collection are subject to change all the time. Target has a wonderful selection of cheap movies, and I just couldn’t resist snagging these five flicks for under forty bucks seen below:

moviee

The Haul:

  • Bad Teacher
  • Kill Bill 1 & 2
  • The Disaster Artist
  • Saw 7 Movie Collection
  • Annabelle

I have to say, I’m pretty excited about the movies that I added to my collection. And, I kind of splurged a little! Because, *gasp*, I bought The Disaster Artist even though it was ten dollars! I am a fanatic of all things The Room, so this purchase was absolutely necessary. I also got the Saw and Kill Bill collections for seven fifty instead of my normal five dollars, but they were too good not to pass up. The Saw movies are some of my favorites and I am a huge Kill Bill fan, so they were a definite must.

On the cheaper end of things, both Annabelle and Bad Teacher were five dollars, which made for an easy decision on whether to purchase them or not. Annabelle will be perfect with the spooky month of October fast approaching. And, Bad Teacher will be a nice change of pace from all of the scary movies. This was definitely a treat yoself haul, but talk about value – twelve movies for thirty five bucks!

Holiday Haul Finale: The Room Edition

Holiday Haul Finale: The Room Edition

Helloooo everyone and welcome to the conclusion of my Holiday Haul, once again compliments of my sister. Kristen was truly the Christmas MVP this year so cue the applause for that wonderful woman! The Room is easily my favorite bad movie ever and it brings me so much joy introducing it to other people. It took Kristen a long time to accept The Room for the hilarity that it is, but her life changed for the better when she finally did.

We recently enjoyed a sister date night to see The Disaster Artist and were in stitches the entire time. Our next “The Room” related festivities include going to the midnight showing of it in Cleveland that happens monthly at an indie theater. I CAN’T WAIT! For Christmas, Kristen gifted me with two of the following prezzies that Tommy Wiseau would be proud of:

Seen above is a shirt featuring the infamous tagline of “You’re tearing me apart, Lisa” with Tommy Wiseau in a moment of frustrated passion. There is also a homemade card that she ordered from the flower shop “Hi, doggy” scene. If that isn’t prezzie perfect, then I genuinely don’t know what is. Kristen and I were absolutely dying when I opened this gift and I am so excited to finally own some merchandise from The Room!

This Holiday Haul was incredibly successful and I had an amazing time celebrating Christmas with my family. The company, food, and tom foolery was all as good as it can get, and it was definitely one of my favorite Christmases yet.

So there you have it, my Holiday Haul Finale: The Room Edition! Who else is a fan of the infamously bad flick, The Room? What is your favorite cult film? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

The Room: The Best Worst Movie Ever

Standard
The Room: The Best Worst Movie Ever

I have absolutely NO shame in admitting that The Room is one of my favorite movies ever. I find it absolutely hilarious, no matter if I’m sober or drunk. One of my favorite things to do with my friends who are fans of the movie, is to go see it at the Cedar Lee theatre in Cleveland. (They don’t have an official website, but you can view their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/cedarleetheatre make sure you give it a like!!) This theatre is known for playing strictly Indie and foreign films. Like any local theatre they have live performances during The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and most importantly on the second Saturday of each month, they play a midnight showing of The Room. It only costs five dollars for your ticket and a night of well rounded frivolity. Nothing pleases me more than being in a theatre full of The Room enthusiasts who basically quote the entire movie word for word. There’s quite a few tried and true traditions that occur throughout the movie, so allow me to give you the proper etiquette if you ever find yourself at a midnight showing at the Cedar Lee! Make sure you bring your plastic spoons! 🙂

  • Yell “the door is ajar” every time a character leaves the door open when entering Johnny and Lisa’s apartment. The yelling ends when the door is finally shut.
  • Break into applause during the famous “oh hi, doggy” scene.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOdjtiOMGbA

  • Make “om nom nom” noises every time Lisa and Mark eat each others faces.
  • When Lisa is seducing Mark and he questions “the candles, the music, the sexy dress” the audience questions back “WHAT CANDLES? WHAT MUSIC? WHAT SEXY DRESS?”
  • Repeat back “best friend” every time someone mentions that Johnny is Mark’s best friend.
  • Every time the panorama of the Full House neighborhood appears, sing the theme song to Full House.
  • Whenever cars are seen traveling across the Golden Gate Bridge cheer them on before the scene changes.
  • Scream “you are tearing me apart Lisa” at the top of your lungs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm9Fgq3r_zA

  • Scream “I did not hit her, it’s not true, it’s BULLSHIT, I did not hit her, I did nahhhhhht. Oh hi, Mark.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ4KzClb1C4

  • Throw plastic spoons at the screen every time Johnny and Lisa’s spoon themed art work in the apartment is seen.
  • Slow clap to all of the slow jam songs played during sex scenes.
  • Add any comments you’d like during the movie. My personal favorite is yelling “PILLOW FIGHT” when Johnny, Lisa, and Denny are having one at the beginning of the movie.

Any other traditions that occur during the movie are easy to pick up on and it’s great fun to start your own as well! If you’re in the mood to get your drink on while watching The Room, my friends and I created a drinking game just for that occasion! I recommend getting one of the larger canned alcoholic drinks and taking a sip each time a drink worthy instance occurs. Here are the rules for when to drink during The Room:

  • Every time a football is thrown
  • Whenever a panoramic shot of San Francisco is seen
  • Every time someone mentions what a great guy Johnny is
  • Whenever Lisa says that she doesn’t love Johnny anymore
  • Whenever Lisa says that she’s in love with Mark
  • Whenever someone enters the apartment but leaves minutes later
  • Chug on “You are tearing me apart Lisa”
  • Chug during any “oh hi” scene
  • Chug during Johnny’s suicide scene if your drink hasn’t been completed by then

Enjoy!!!

What are some of the traditions that occur at the theatres you go to that screen The Room? What are some things that could be added on to the drinking game seen above? If you have any suggestions, leave me a comment and let’s chat! And make sure you check back in with me tonight for my review of the new episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show! Happy Hump Day! -Sarah
