>hard work
he had a sugar momma that paid for everything
why is he ashamed of being Polish?
O hai Dave! When's the movie coming out?!
wouldn't you be?
how will the poles ever recover from this
I never did find out his ancestry. Did that finally come out?
It's stupid to claim you're from Louisiana when you have an obvious Slavic accent.
the guy didn't have a clue about acting or hollywood though, just wanted the fame. Worked out in the end for him.
lookin big tom
Don't make fun of my accent
You forgot the part where he got brain damage from multiple car accidents.
The guys making the documentary A Room Full of Spoons tracked his lineage all the way to a graveyard in Poland, then felt bad upon the realization that Tommy has no living family.
source?
Damn. I hadn't heard of that.
When's that documentary coming out? Is there a digital release coming up?
the book
how do you think he got the money to buy all the real estate and start his clothing business?
SHAME ON YOU
i read the book and he doesn't "get smeared". just like ed wood it's an affectionate portrayal of a broken, incredibly weird character.
but hey, i bet you would have only shown the positive side of someone who was insane enough to write a letter to the most important actors agency in hollywood containing the following message:
DO YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO TAKE ME !?!?
Jew?
that's a lie, it's not in the book.
in fact the book says he "might" be an incredibly good entrepeneur and that he doesn't even know for sure himself.
the user i'm referring to is a liar.
What are the best parts in the book?
>finding out Tommy always orders a glass of boiling hot water at a restaurant which causes the waiter to panic
>filmed The Room with both film and digital cameras
>obligatory vampire car scene
and why is her mom rich?
how is the name of the clothe shop?
its not outright stated that she's his sugar momma, but greg implies it. there's an older woman that tommy speaks to a few times and he tries to hide it, i think they go to her house a few times and she's apparently immensely wealthy
Polanski isn't. he's got other things to be ashamed about.
Street Fashions USA. He sells brand name clothes with minor irregularities (such as missing belt loops and bad seams). The business is still operational, payments for his The Room online fansite's webstore are sent to their paypal
I don't even think Polanski is ashamed of that to be honest.
when the second DP loses his shit and calls Wiseau a liar when he just caught him about lying about getting the generator, which causes Wiseau to call the DP a "sissy faggot"
I really need to read that book.
the first half of the book is the funniest thing i have ever read
This. He literally has brain damage.
He's Jason Genova?
>Street Fashions USA
I checked it and he only sells merchandising from the movie.
I have it in my Amazon saved for later, I just haven't gotten around to ordering it. Everyone says it's amazing though.
it is. every 5 or so pages i had to put to book down from laughing so hard
I do feel bad for the guy but that doesn't change the fact that the movie really is terrible.
But hey, the guy gave it his best shot, that took balls.
>really is terrible
HAHA, WHAT A STORY.
It's terrible in the most hilarious ways, but that doesn't change the fact that from an artistic standpoint it really is a terrible movie.
Oh and fyi, I do like the message of the movie, some women are cunts for no real reason, that's a fact that you wont hear from mainstream media, but it's a good message told poorly.
Do yourself a favour and listen to the audiobook. Its read by Greg Sestero and his Tommy Wiseau impression is just great.
I guess selling movie merch is more profitable than selling jeans
Damn, young Tommy is kind qt
I recommend reading the book and listening to the audiobook too. Gregg's Tommy impression is perfect.
>me on the left
I didn't expect these feels
>filming in both film and digital
The true mark of a patrician desu
The real Stroszek
my fucking sides
...
He had an aunt and uncle who lived in California that he mentioned by first name a few times
Only their first names were known, uncle was Stan and I forget the aunts name
Both died many years ago but someone found the obituaries a few years ago and they had Polish last names
I think although the panning might have hurt Wiseau in the beginning, he's come to embrace it. Just look at the public screenings he hosts; he seems happy that, good film or bad, people love and enjoy it - and treat him like the star he dreamed of being for that hour and a half.
Feel with me now, bros.
...
>DP quits
>they hire some college kids
>they quit too
>except the one guy who says he's willing to continue working for basically lunch money
>he's the one who finishes the film
...
Patrician ending, desu. On par with that of TAOJJBTCRF
Shit, I gotta read this book now.
How is it called then it's kino, but it's a book?
I lol'd but in the book, great book btw, it's stated that Tommy doesn't drink or do drugs. Still a great comparison though
How does a retard like him get a sugar mommy?
>Tommy finds out Mark got a SAG card
>pesters him for info on how to get one
>"I don't know, you have to be in a commercial or something"
>"hmm"
>some time later Tommy is an official SAG member because he made a commercial for his own clothing store

Buch
/ourguy/
Then we call is biblio, as in "Crime and Punishment is top biblio. Can anyone recommend me some more Russian bibliographi?"
Litératúre
Realizing that Tommy is actually a sad figure, not the lovable goofball. Tommy has had brain damage. And The Room was written at his lowest point, and plays out a ridiculous fantasy where Tommy is loved, has friends, and everyone he knows is 20 something. He was near suicidal when he wrote it.
Any proper treatment of Tommy's life would be more THAT FEEL THE MOVIE than "ahaha, goofy guy makes stupid movie and says stupid things".
Allow me to shorten your whole wall OP:
>be poor eastern european living under commie marxist rule
>dream about living in America where you have freedom of thought and no thought police
>finally manage to go to America
>feminism and political correctness and thought policing even here, when you finally thought you got away from such shit
>commie systems back home crumbles and marxist shit finally takes a dive
>Eastern Europe suddenly looks better and you are trying to decide between staying in USA for money while living under the shit that's the reason you escaped from Eastern Europe, or going back to Eastern Europe where there's no money but your mind can have a fucking break from Marxist shit
Was that supposed to be funny?
No. It's a portrayal of reality.
>it's a middle class altright retard has no idea what it's like to be poor episode
eastern euro here
i'd rather take feminist and trannys any day over having to work 50 hours a week for minimal wage just so I can eat and have a roof over me
No you wouldn't.
Forgot the part where he may or may not have been molested by crooked cops.
I believe in Tommy.
The Room is 100% pure kino.
Dealing with my HR department makes me wish I was a third world potato serf like you.
trannies are hot and feminists are qt as hell, for me it would be a bonus
sissy faggot
>Poland
>eastern european country
nigga that's central europe
>USA for money while living under the shit that's the reason you escaped from Eastern Europe
Are you genuinely deluding yourself that some retarded SJWism sprinkled here and there is actually equatable with Soviet-era repression of the Eastern republics.
You're one special kind of retarded.
>someone who is seeing the evil of Communism and doesn't want to relive it again is a sissy faggot
You are damn right i am, and proud of it.
>are you genuinely deluding yourself into seeing parallels between people speaking their minds and losing scholarships and diplomas and getting sacked for doing so?
No. I'm not deluding myself over what's happening in USA mirroring what happened under commies in Eastern Europe.
Just having an opinion would see you expelled from school there and charged for various shit.
Just having an opinion in American universities ends up with the same result these days.
>ooh no some retards want me to treat trans people like sane individuals
>this is litterally communism again!!!
Yes, yes, please walk me through your mental gymnastics though.
>charged for various shit.
Not, it'd warrant your execution, and not something as tolerant as being only expelled from school.
Also, why are you pretending that universities being havens to Marxist thinkers has only been observed in the last decade, when it's almost always been that way, with Marxism being the ultimate "i wanna pretend i'm smart, so i take up marxism to give meaning to History" thing for students and professors alike. Been like this since the 1970s.
If you hadn't been an idiot, you'd have picked a STEM field, had kept your head down and not shared your views, and grabbed your degree on the way out.
Unbelievably corny and bad. The show could have been god tier, but Machinima writers fucked it all up. The concept of Tommy Wiseau trying to play video games is hilarious as fuck, but they managed to screw it up bad. The script is unbelievably corny, goddamn.
'no'
what things
How the fuck is Wiseau a Polish name? It's a French name ffs
>trans people
>sane individuals
>people who are constantly emotionally and mentally unstable not only due to their identity crisis but also their hormonal unbalance, massive drug intake side-effects, and post-op insanity
>sane individuals
You had me laughing there user. Good joke.
I'm yet to see a transweenie who is not a total headcase.
He pretended to be from Louisiania for a short while (ie. former French land).
Can you not read?
Tommy is a true patriot
he's not even American
You can still feel strongly about your new home country
bluepilled af
>tracked his lineage to a graveyard in Poland
I FUCKING TOLD YOU HE WAS A VAMPIRE
Neither are 95% of Americans.
that's not how it works, pal
I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS AIRED ON TV
gb2pol
I think it must be a cultural thing. I worked with a Ukranian who was asked at least a dozen times in the 6 weeks or so that I worked with him, "Where are you from?"
His response everytime? Kansas.
Maybe ol' Wiseau got tired of hearing the same question.
Has telling someone to do something on the Internet ever worked out for you?
I mean apart from the illusion of having girls show their tits on porn-cams who were going to do so anyway even if your input never existed.
