I recently became obsessed with the film. Not by the memes, spoon

if you're so interesting read The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero. It outlines pretty what's the deal with Tommy

Have you read my post?
I'm readin it right now.
Actually, I'm listening because the audiobook read by Greg himself is fucking Gold, he even impersonates Tommy quite faithfully.

Lmao this website is so fucking shit people don't even read other people's posts they just want (you)s. Take some of your precious time to actually read a post before responding.

OP, I think it's more of a sad commentary on the death of art. Aristocrats used to finance amazing artists because they were intelligent and educated enough to know what good art was. Now our """"aristocrats"""" are as ignorant or more ignorant than the "commoner"

The book is genuinely excellent and really compliments the film and Tommy's mythos.

They have a new film which looks insane, directed by some camera lens inventor and millionaire.

Also The Disaster Artist film is about to or just premiered at SXSW

Try to see a screening in your area if possible. You can meet Tommy and they're a singularly fun experience.

Piecing together the enigma is part of his appeal.

From what I gather he bought property in San Fran in the old days and sold jeans of all things. I used to think there was criminal activity involved but nope that's probably not even the case. It's as simple as 'he made a tonne of money from renting out his properties then used 2 million of it to make his passion project', living out his dreams.

Street Fashions USA sold very questionable Levi designs

I saw the trailer and just the fact that Greg and Tommy appear in that is amazing.

Greg sucks at acting still. He has so much appeal during the live readings of his book but on screen he is just so fucking flat.

The cinematography of the film looked good.
It's not directed and written by Tommy so there is that.

>>80353961
He probably sold bootleg clothing, and that's as criminal as it got for him. He just did it in such a high amount and over so much time that it made him a lot of money. Sestero made it sound like Wiseau was 50 or so by the time of the Room, so that would have been a few decades of making dodgy deals for Wiseau, probably not that farfetched that he had so much cash.

>he made a tonne of money
The thing is. He doesn't appear that intelligent. The Disaster Artist book is filled with stupid stories from him. Hitting other people's cars, buying 6 pairs of roller-blades, awkward as fuck calls... How can someone this weird be so business savvy?

>>80354486
I think a lot of it's an act, Tommy exhibits some pretty sociopathic behavior in Disaster Artist

Did he really manipulate Greg for his own amusement?
Did he get a kick out of harassing struggling actors?

This movie is literally the most revolutionary piece of postmodern art since Duchamp's Fountain.

I think he does. The guy is weird for sure but I think he's far from a idiot.
