I watched this movie with my friend for the first time and she busted a gut from that very first line. I had NEVER heard her laugh out loud at a movie before, but one line from Tommy Wiseau was enough to make it happen
Kody Jackson not to mention it seems like Lisa only wanted to film the scene once and then they just use the same sex scene throughout the movie lol it’s kinda pathetic 😂
Tommy Wiseau submitted the film to Paramount, hoping to get them as the distributor. Usually, it takes about two weeks to get a reply. This movie however was rejected within 24 hours.
C Why? They would of lost money on distribution and marketing cost. Since it failed in the box office. It only got popular in the midnight circuit and drive ins
Revolver Ocelot Method acting is when an actor does something that the other actors doesn’t know will occur in order to get a more genuine reaction from them. So the whole screaming at Denny thing isn’t something Denny’s actor knew would happen, which made it easier for him to express the character’s fear
Pretty Much It I'd really suggest listening to the audio book of the disaster artist before you see the film. Greg Sestero does a flawless impression of Tommy, and there's too much crazy shit for a single film.
@lemon ste A Redditor tracked down the obituaries for his aunt and uncle, who were mentioned in Greg Sestero's book The Disaster Artist. "The obituary reveals that a Stanley Wieczor was married to Kathleen Rainey Wieczor; the services were held in the Succor Catholic Church, Chalmette, LA. So Tommy's surname is most likely Wieczor, which is very close to Wiseau, and would be a combination of his nickname Birdman (French oiseau [bird] + Wieczor = Wiseau)."
Fun Fact: Tommy originally wrote this and tried to get it published as a 500 page novel. I just want to know what happened in the other 450 pages of that book.
@@oscarjohnson2130 If I recall correctly it was vampire's and an invisible flying car... I'm not kidding, feel free to look into it for yourself. The original plan for this film would've been absolutely insane
A friend of mine met him at a meet and greet, and she said that someone walked up to him and asked why he was wearing two belts, to which he angrily replied, "I HAVE 6 ON MOTHERFUCKER!!"
The "I can see like veins on his butt," and "OH MY GOD I thought those were like open sores," comments had me DYING. I thought the exact same and when you said it I fucking lost it. God dammit this is great
@@homeiswonderland yes, and in real life there was actually a spy that was caught by doing just that. he did everything else well but that tipped someone off who was watching him. just like Tommy Wiseau. COINCIDENCE?! I think not.
You only make a movie like the Disaster Artist out of pure love. Seth Rogen and James Franco were huge fans since the movie came out. They remember driving past the old billboard advertisement for the Room that had Wiseau's personal phone number on it
I remember hearing or reading somewhere that The Room was originally meant to be acted out in a stage play rather than a movie (I imagine the movie route was just more convenient). It was also supposed to take place entirely - or almost entirely - in a single room, thus the title. This would also explain why the characters are constantly just waltzing into Johnny's house unannounced, since that's generally how it would look if presented on stage. They're basically "entering/exiting stage left/right" the entire time. Thus the bizarre and jolting way everyone just sort of bursts into/out of any given scene.
I suggested to my mom that we watch this movie together as a funny movie night and she acted like I just asked her to bomb a marathon "WHAT? WHY WOULD I DO THAT, HOW DARE YOU ASK ME TO DO THAT. I WOULD NEVER DO THAT!"
The Room is like the only thing I can think of that lives up to every scintilla of hype it's ever gotten -- it's actually everything you've ever heard and more. I shudder to think I could have been born 100 years too early to witness it. It is a 1-in-a-human-kind event. A miracle of the horrid. And to think it was all accidentally hilarious is actually incredible in the truest sense of the word. It's my #1 must-see.
There's a scene in the film where the old woman who's Lisa's mother randomly goes "I got the results of the test back. I definitely have breast cancer." Then neither of them react and all then Lisa just goes "Don't worry about it. Everything'll be fine."
Danny Chefalo RU-vid is glitching and when I click the like button it brings up the reply text and doesn’t like, so I wanna say that I like your comment.
I love how they talk over each other and sound like robots who are trying to imitate humans in the flower shop "It'll be 18 dollar-" "Here you gO keep the chAnge... hi doggi-" "y o u ' r e m y f a v o r i t e c u s t o m e r" Also the whole scene isn't necessary in the first place which makes it so much better😂
12:25 was the first scene they shot according to "The Disaster Artist". It was really intense and both actors played it really well. It tricked the entire cast into thinking "The Room" going to be a great movie.
This is one of the funniest commentaries you guys have done in awhile! (And I've enjoyed all of them a lot.) I was howling with laughter, your reactions were priceless. You should definitely read the book Greg Sestero ("Mark") wrote, there's so many amazing little anecdotes packed in there about his friendship with Tommy. And of course, all the insanity that went down while trying to make the movie. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but they went through three full crews by the end of shooting. Tommy fired the entire crew, not once, but TWICE! And also, the entire thing was shot on 35mm film and HD video simultaneously, because Tommy thought that was cutting-edge. Like, he had a special rig built to mount two cameras side-by-side, for the entire shoot. And the kicker is, none of the video footage appears in the movie.
AGREED - hearing Greg impersonating Tommy saying, "your dog, is it real thing?" when he's doing the flower shop scene is worth the price of the audiobook alone.
Mitch Gosser Ha i think they just missed it on accident because they were talking about all the other absurd things. My friend and I watch the room and we had to pause almost every 15 seconds! LOLOL!
Eric, you should definitely read the Disaster Artist at some point, even after seeing the movie. It's full of batshit crazy stuff about the movie, like how they couldn't decide film or digital cameras, so they taped two together and shot it like that, meaning that every shot is off by a bit.
I was really hoping you guys were going to talk about how to door on the roof is literally just a garden shed that they duck down and walk into. Idk why but that's my absolute favorite part.
the fact that the editors didn’t overlay the credits over the shots so they just slapped a bunch of black screens between shots and then suddenly overplayed it
The crazy thing is I grew up around the same area this movie was filmed in, so i recognizes most of the B-roll shots, which made everything EVEN CRAZIER
I just picked up on your channel and I have no idea what took me so long. You guys are halarious! I suscribed but I'm afraid I won't be around long. I'm sure I'm gonna die of laughter soon enough. Thanks for the awesome content keep it up
Casually stumbled on this channel the other day with their Final Destination episode and I've just been marathoning this whole channel. It's like MST3K but not as hokey, it's just two dudes instead of a dude and his two robots.
