Last weekend the Gulbenkin Cinema in Canterbury showed the worst film in the world. It's called 'The Room'. You've probably never heard of it.
It's a stinker. I saw 10 minutes on YouTube and nearly fainted. The acting is atrocious, the dialogue is rubbish and repetitive, there's no plot and it looks like it's been filmed by a 12-year old on mescalin.
But, 200 people went to see this film on Saturday night. They dressed up as characters from the film, shouted out the dialogue and threw plastic spoons at the screen. Helen went to see it and said it was the worst thing she had ever seen.
Now, my question to you is this: why is it that 200 people take the trouble to see a piece of s**t on a Saturday night, dress up and even learn whole parts of the execrable dialogue, yet we struggle to get more than a handful of people to take action to save our planet? Is the whole world crazy - or should we just show a really bad film and wait for the crowds?
So, on Saturday I am showing a home movie of me digging the allotment. Bring popcorn.
