    3. There are multiple shots in this movie featuring framed pictures of spoons.
    4. It’s a tradition at live screenings of The Room to hurl spoons at the screen during scenes where these are visible.

      I remember being confused after being handed some wooden disposable spoons at a local screening about 7 years ago. The person handing them out explained it to me, and suddenly I started noticing how obvious the spoons were. I think I had watched the movie a handful of times before, but never really paid attention to the backgrounds unless it was one of the outdoors scenes that were obviously filmed on a soundstage.
