The Room
''The Room'' is a 2003 American drama film written, produced, executive produced and directed by Tommy Wiseau, who stars in the film alongside Juliette Danielle and Greg Sestero. The film centers on a melodramatic love triangle between amiable banker Johnny (Wiseau), his deceptive Engagement, fiancée Lisa (Danielle) and his conflicted Best friends forever, best friend Mark (Sestero). A significant portion of the film is dedicated to a series of unrelated subplots, most of which involve at least one supporting character and are left unresolved due to the film's inconsistent narrative structure. The work was reportedly intended to be semi-autobiographical in nature; according to Wiseau, the title alludes to the potential of a room to be the site of both good and bad events. The stage play from which the film is derived was so-called due to its events taking place entirely in a single room. A number of publications have labeled ''The Room'' as one of List of films considered the ...

The Rooms
The Rooms is a cultural facility in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The facility opened in 2005 and houses the Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Provincial Museum of Newfoundland and Labrador. The facility was constructed on a hill overlooking the port city, at a historic location once occupied by Fort Townshend. History Origins of the name The building's name, as well as its architecture, is a reference to the simple gable-roofed sheds (called "fishing rooms") that were once so common at the waterline in Newfoundland fishing villages. Fort Townshend During the planning and construction of the building much opposition was raised by archaeologists and historians because of its location. Previously on the same strategic spot of land was located Fort Townshend, an 18th-century military fort, that was eventually buried under ground. The great star-shaped citadel, one of the largest British ...

The Room (store)
Hudson's Bay (french: La Baie d'Hudson), known colloquially and operating online as The Bay (French: ), is a Canadian luxury goods department store chain. It is the flagship brand of the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC), the oldest and longest-surviving company in North America as well as one of the oldest continuously operating companies in the world.

It operated exclusively in Western Canada until the acquisitions and conversions of department stores Morgan's, Freimans, Simpsons, Woodward's, coupled with the opening of new locations, positioned its presence nationwide in the second half of the 20th century. After nearly 50 years with The Bay brand, the chain was rebranded in 2013 to Hudson's Bay with a modernized logo. In 2021, The Bay name (but not the logo) was revived exclusiv ...

The Room (album)
''The Room'' is an album composed and performed by Harold Budd, released in 2000. Production Budd constructed ''The Room'' as a concept album about thematically different areas. Budd produced the album. Critical reception AllMusic wrote that "though some of the synthesizer textures verge on a little too much new age sweetness, [Budd's] piano is always a thing of tranquil beauty, veiled in layers of eerie echo, evoking a half-remembered dream." ''The Guardian'' wrote: "There was a time when every other musician with a synthesizer, a piano and a Portastudio was trying to make ambient statements like this, but the financial superstructure (not to mention the potential yuppie consumers) faded fast after Black Friday. Budd's choice of timbres and melodies, which manage to be pretty without insulting the intelligence, mean that the ambient legacy is in safe hands." ''CMJ New Music Monthly'' deemed the album "remarkably vibrant." Track listing # "The Room of Ancillary Dreams" – 6:08 ...

The Room (play)
''The Room'' is Harold Pinter's first play, written and first produced in 1957. Considered by critics the earliest example of Pinter's "comedy of menace", this play has strong similarities to Pinter's second play, ''The Birthday Party (play), The Birthday Party'', including features considered hallmarks of Pinter's early work and of the so-called Characteristics of Harold Pinter's work#Pinteresque, Pinteresque: dialogue that is comically familiar and yet disturbingly unfamiliar, simultaneously or alternatingly both mundane and frightening; subtle yet contradictory and ambiguous characterisation, characterizations; a comic yet menacing mood characteristic of mid-twentieth-century English tragicomedy#Later developments, tragicomedy; a plot (narrative), plot featuring reversals and surprises that can be both funny and emotionally moving; and an unconventional Dénouement, ending that leaves at least some questions unresolved.See Harold Pinter#Bio-bibliography, "Biobibliographical Note ...
