You realize that while nobody thinks the Room is a good movie, they love the Room as a movie, right?

It's the defining "so bad it's good" movie.

The prequels can't even claim to be that.

Sure, but you're pretty much restating my point here.

The Room is beloved because it's bad (actually because it's a level beyond bad). The movie itself isn't entertaining, the absolute awfulness of it is what's entertaining.

And if people were saying the same thing about the prequels, fine. If they're saying that the movie was so terrible that its awfulness actually becomes entertaining... well, I'd disagree (as you pointed out, the PT can't even claim that small solace), but I'd see the logic.

But no, you have people saying that the prequels unironically were good movies because they provided a bunch of memes. Which is all kinds of ridiculous.
