      Fun facts:

      1. Yes, that is a framed picture of a spoon.
      2. This is because the props people went down to a nearby furniture store and got whatever they needed, but they never replaced the stock photos inside with anything.
      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.
