this movie seriously gets better every time you see it. Sestero constantly asking "what's going on here? why are you doing this?" every scene is possibly the best part of the film now.

It really is a majestic offering isn't it? I love that strange young college boy who seems at once mentally challenged and yet also in college? He doesnt get the message "see you later we are going up stairs to ball" and just goes up to their bedroom and jumps on their bed like some deranged puppy - yet they are delighted with him not like "wtf get away you dick"

also one thing I never noticed is how weird the whole thing with Claudette and Denny is on the roof with Chris-R, because the film suggests that they just met each other for the first time like two minutes prior, so I don't know why she feels the need to yell at him like that

btw this is my favorite Room-related anything, it's one of the only parody videos that actually captures the spirit of the movie quite well

that is the best - she really goes beerserk - what must that poor grandma actor have been thinking ? "my career is over"I also love the fact that they take the man with a gun away and retun in like 30 seconds but he went to jail in that time frame

I just imdb'd her, she didn't really have a "career" per se but apparently she was on an episode of That's My Bush! I just love the way she turns around every phrase - "it doesn't matter"..."it matters a great deal!!" "stop ganging up on me"..."well it's about time someone ganged up on you!!" (again, they just met)

i showed this to a friend of mine recently. he didnt laugh once but told me after it ended that he found it "strangely moving"!

i can get why someone would find it moving. it's clearly very deeply felt by wiseau, and it seems like such a personal document of pain + misery.

I think Sestero said something along those lines, that Tommy did actually have a Lisa, a Mark, and a Denny in his life (which may explain why Denny's a major character even though he has pretty much nothing to do with the plot)

Question: Is it worth paying a 50% surcharge to see The Room at a screening where Wiseau and Sestero are scheduled to appear?

How much is the total cost?
I loved seeing it live, and need to go to a screening again sometime.

dude I went to see the showing w/Wiseau&Sestero when they came to town here. HOLY SHIT. on this tour Tommy Wiseau asks people from the audience to come onstage to play a game & win some Room-related prizes. then after like 40 people have lined up he tells them they have to catch this crumpled-up water bottle that Sestero throws at them twenty-five times in a row without dropping it. why? there is no explanation. who really knows if dude is just playing up his weirdo angle because that's all he's got left, but both times I've seen him I have thought this guy is literally the most absurd human being. also he wears a second belt just around the bottom of his ass, presumably to make his ass look good.

That makes it a perfect Room-related game then.

I've always been one to suspect that some guys try to act a lot weirder in public than they actually are, but based on everything I've read about Tommy he really is that strange. Sestero's book should shine a lot of light on this, he's already said that it really asks more questions than it answers, but it should explain a lot of the stranger lines in the movie

how did wiseau get the money to make this thing anyway?

I’m working about vampires movie as well, it’s the other movie where we’re shooting in San Francisco again. I say shooting, I didn’t say shot, because somebody misquote me and I hate that. Somebody wrote “He is shooting,” I say, “I’m not shooting, I shot or shooting, I know what the present past or whatever you talk about.”
how could someone misquote this???

During some of the emotional scenes, like the “You’re tearing me apart” scene, how did you work with the actors or with yourself to draw on these emotions? There was so much emotion in a lot of the scenes.One of the things is I’m very pro this rehearsal process. You see, the emotion you draw from your experiences but also I believe it does help me because of my background in the theater. You can draw emotion, you can fake emotion, but I don’t believe in be fake, to be honest with you. I can do the scene with you right now if you want me to. Give me the words I will present it to you. You want to test me, it’s fine with me, Rachel. By the way, we have several people who have test me and guess what? They lost.(later)I am going to take you up on your offer to test you on your ability to add emotion to a scene. Let’s say I stood you up for drinks.Are you talking to Tommy or the character Johnny?Johnny.Okay, Johnny, sure no problem. So Rachel, why didn’t you show up for the… we’re supposed to drink, right?We were, I’m sorry I didn’t come, I met someone else.(Screaming) Why are you doing this to me, you know? I spent my time. Why you did this, right? You supposed to show up 2:00, I was waiting for you.I met someone else, I’m sorry.Sorry doesn’t cut it, I’m sorry! Sorry doesn’t cut it, what do you think?I think that I can make my own decisions, Johnny.I’m sorry Rachel, but this is not how it works, you know? I left Lisa for you and I thought we had going on something together and now what?Maybe you should go back to Lisa then.Yeah, yeah, I almost got into an accident for your information. You know that, don’t you? Did Mark tell you about it? You confuse me with another boyfriend, my name is Johnny.Can I make it up to you and cook you dinner?Are you promise?I promise.Okay, I will try. What time?7:00.Okay, I will be there. Scene! So who lost?I lost.Thank you, I didn’t say you lost. That was good sport.

Sestero was born in Walnut Creek, California and grew up in Danville, California. He is of French and American descent with dual citizenships, and speaks both French and English.[1] During his freshman year of high school, Sestero wrote a screenplay, a sequel to the 1990 film Home Alone, with a leading role for himself opposite actor Macaulay Culkin. Sestero submitted the screenplay to Hughes Productions and received a commendatory letter from the late 1980s icon John Hughes.[2]

From this interview with Michael J. Nelson:
Jamie: Have you gotten requests [to riff The Room]?Mike: We did an MP3 version of it, we haven’t thought about it for a live show. But that one rises above, too. You have to see Tommy Wiseau’s nude backside, unfortunately, and I don’t know if I can subject a live audience to that.Jamie: Well, I think in New York you could, because that movie is huge here.Mike: Is it? Do they still do midnight shows and stuff?Jamie: Yes they do. So, if you do ever decide to do The Room live, I would definitely suggest doing it in New York.Mike: That’s a good thought. We have not staged it from New York, we’d always wanted to, so maybe The Room launch would be a good one.Jamie: Have you ever gotten any responses from current filmmakers after riffing one of their movies?Mike: Yeah! Well, I wouldn’t say it was an angry response, but Tommy Wiseau did call us. We had a long phone conversation with Tommy Wiseau, which I confess, we were trying to keep him on the phone as long as we could. Because it was just so much fun to listen to. But I really think that he didn’t understand the concept, and he thought that we were selling his movie, and we were trying to explain over and over, “No, we were just selling an MP3 that people can either choose to listen to or not,” and he insisted, still, that “Well, you still owe me money,” and we were like, “No! It’s a separate thing!” But then we eventually talked to the guy who played Mark. He’s a good guy, he listened to the RiffTrax, and he liked it a lot. So he explained to Tommy what it was, and said, “No, no, they’re just poking fun at the movie like everybody else.” So he understood that.
