being a creatively bankrupt fucking failed actor who had to leech off his friend yet again to make a quick buck

Yeah I found the book pretty distasteful, for the same reason. He read the damn script and agreed to do it, if his taste is so much better than Tommy's he could've made these criticisms before the shoot, instead of writing a fucking book about it when it's too late and Tommy is already a laughingstock. He just comes off as a male version of a "basic bitch," an airheaded dumb blonde who will do & say anything for attention and approval. There's also a note of bitterness to the whole thing, like he really believes he could've made it as a "serious" actor if The Room hadn't made him look bad.

I liked the movie better than the book, because they depict Greg as a bad actor and a bit of a loser as well

what happened bros

god he's beautiful, I wish we could bang

Weird. I thought the book really highlighted the tense, but genuine friendship between the two. But I listened to the audiobook, so maybe the distain came through better on text.

he ascended

torrent when

I loved the book, and never considered this angle... yeah, sorta' slimy now that I think of it.

Tommy agreed, they couldn1t have done it without him selling them his life rights. One of the reasons why the movie is different.

He pretty much outright says in the book he'd given up on acting until the room to be fair

two boys can't have sex with each other retard

I think the fact that he wrote/published the book at all says everything. He's not Tommy's friend, he's just cashing in on the small piece of fame he managed to achieve. He does make an effort to depict himself as a "true friend" to Tommy, but I think he's just trying to avoid coming off like a complete asshole while he's working to depict his "friend" in the most embarrassing light possible.

the more I think about greg the more I dont like him

also I wonder why he stuck with tommy instead of going for a real career in LA

tommy bought him a car and paid him well for his role in the room, like a slut.

yeah guy's embarassing

also he fell into some THOT's trap before he even began having a career at all lol what a bitchboi. He should'be ignored women until h e made it big like billy bob thornton

cucked by life

Tommy was holding Gregg hostage. He was being really weird and creepy and forcing Gregg to go along with his shenanigans because he knew that Gregg couldn't afford to live anywhere else. I agree that Gregg shouldn't have signed on to do the movie, but you can't defend Tommy.

Is this plastic surgery or just bloat?

>you can’t defend tommy
Have you forgotten where you are? Sup Forums will defend or attack anyone to be contrarian.

>Tommy was holding Gregg hostage. He was being really weird and creepy and forcing Gregg to go along with his shenanigans because he knew that Gregg couldn't afford to live anywhere else.
How was any of that "forced?" Tommy let Greg live with him rent-free, purely out of his weird idea of "friendship." Greg could've left and moved back home at any time, or he could've gotten a job and paid for his own place.

Yeah, Tommy was a weirdo, but Greg was not "forced" to put up with his shit, he did it because he wanted a free apartment and a role in Tommy's movie. You're performing some next-level mental gymnastics to make Greg seem like a victim and I don't really understand why

>he was being really weird and creepy and forcing Gregg to go along with his shenanigans because he knew that Gregg couldn't afford to live anywhere else.

I don't know man, Tommy is borderline if not fully autistic (and I don't mean that in the meme sense), or at least there is something else really wrong with him psychologically in how he perceives social interactions. You can call it creepy if you want, but I wouldn't. He did shitty things but that's how he believes adults are. I'm the boss man I saw how boss man acts on TV I act like that boss man. And Greg could have left any time he wanted. Giving someone a free home isn't fucking holding them hostage.

If he left the apartment, he would've had to go back to San Francisco and his dream would've been over. The reason Tommy let him stay in the apartment in the first place wasn't just out of friendship, it was a test drive to see if he should come out to LA as well.
When Gregg moved in with Amber, he should've cut off all ties with Tommy, but he was greedy and he wanted money and a car. I agree with that. He can't play the victim in the making of the Room, because he read the full script before signing on, but his experiences with Tommy all those years before were definitely weird and worth complaining about.

But Tommy let him write the book in the first place

can you blame him? he will always be a laughing stock because of the room. so why not profit over the success of it? once the whole the disaster artist fame will fade away, he's gone. he's done. no more money.

Complaining or telling stories about Tommy to his friends would be one thing. But literally publishing all his experiences with Tommy for the world to see, for profit and fame, is a total snake-in-the-grass move. And yeah, we all got a good story and a good movie out of it, but that doesn't mean I have to like Greg.

Tommy does bizarre and shitty things, but you can't blame a weirdo for being weird. Nothing he does is subtle or sneaky, it's obvious that there's something wrong with him at first glance, and there's something very "genuine" about him that's hard to dislike. Whereas Greg comes off as the stereotypical "actor" type - nothing he does is really genuine, his primary goal is to get attention, and one way or another he finds a way to latch onto someone with more money than he knows how to earn by himself. You'll meet men & women exactly like Greg all over LA, and once you get to understand the "type" it's hard to read Greg's book as anything but narcissism all the way through

DON'T
LOOK
UP
DENNY'S
ACTOR

just don't.

No way. Tommy is a fucking freak and also kind of a piece of shit. No way you intertwine your life with someone like that unless you're their friend. Also where is this idea coming from that Tommy wasn't ok with the book?

wait what the fuck

You can't stop someone from writing a book just because they say mean things about you (unless it's full blown slander, which the book definitely isn't).

When I read the book I felt Greg was being pretty dishonest about his role in the whole story. The movie and book make him come across as a sweet dude that saw a lot of good and potential in Tommy, but in reality I believe he saw Tommy had money and a weakness for companionship, and latched on to that.

Opportunist that pretty much manipulated Tommy into getting the shit he needed to be successful in LA, and he got his comeuppance when that shit didn't work for him at all.

Fuck Greg, man. I doubt he was being sincere about his shit at all. Just a gut feeling, not like we'll ever fucking know though.

But Greg is a weirdo too. He was so crippled by low self esteem he tanked his own acting career. He became codependent with Tommy and he admits as much.

How far into the treatment is this?

Did anyone get a creepy vibe from Tommy in the movie? He was somewhat sympathetic, but at the same time he was being a complete child. It was admirable that he at least tried to make something people could enjoy,despite his circumstances. I haven't read the book, but i think they exaggerated him a bit for comedy.

What's wrong? He just looks like an older version of Denny. He looks like he's doing fine for himself.

You're just a pessimist and not a very good judge of character. If you watch any interview with Greg and Tommy it's clear they both are genuinely friends. Not to mention Greg got continually picked around on money and if that was what he was after, he wouldn't really those benefits until many years after first starting his relationship with Tommy.

He's not weird at all

I was about to ask how he changed so much, but it's literally been 16 years.

quick rundown??

Tommy seems to not be upset about it at all. I’m fact, he signed Greg up for his next movie project. Tommy doesn’t seem to care about how weird people think he is

If anything the book is way more insane. I don't think a lot of people would have believed it if they were completely accurate. If anything the changes make the story seem more normal

He is in his own ways but he's also a handsome normie so it's hard to see but if you read the book it's clear Greg is a neurotic mess. The most obvious sign of this is his willingness to put up with Tommy's bullshit

They are both genuine friends NOW. The explosion of popularity they got cemented it, and Greg latched on to that narrative and ran with it. Greg sniffed out he had money in the beginnings of their relationship, and benefited quick wtf you sayin

Soy has ravaged his once-masculine features.

Try and stop me

Soy.
Not even once.

>He was so crippled by low self esteem he tanked his own acting career.
No, he just wasn't talented. He had "low self esteem" as an actor because he was constantly being rejected and forced to confront his lack of talent. He really doesn't come off as "weird," more like so completely, utterly normal that he didn't have a way to distinguish himself in Hollywood

wait what

The interview he did with the Nostalgia Critic was a good one

Is that actually Claudette's actress? How the fuck does she look better than Denny's actor

Why does this post get read in Franco Tommy voice? Just try it. It flows.

This also kind sounds like Franco-Tommy but I'm not getting the auditory flow. Maybe real Wiseau.

You're talking out of your ass. Going by Greg's book, which nobody has any reason to disbelieve I any significant way, he only got any money through their friendship at the very end of the production of the room and Tommy strung him along with it like bait up until the last moments of filming.

This is Seth voice. How many of The Disaster Artist people are here. And anyway wasntbthisnmovie like the true story behind the Anne Rice Vampire movies?

Literally fucking who?

Are you on drugs, son?

He should have stayed a model, he used to be handsome.

They're gay lovers obviously.

A bald assertion isn't an argument. I've already refuted your representation based arguments. Give me something else.

did he beat cancer or something? what the fuck?

Based bald poster

I haven't read his book, but in the movie they show why Greg shaved his beard in the middle of filming. Is that really what happened?

>its a chapter where Greg talks about his shit career

NO ONE CARES ABOUT RETRO PUPPET MASTER GREG YOURE ONLY INTERESTING WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING TOMMY DID

He's just such a boring person I'm not surprised he was passive enough to take so much shit from Tommy for a paycheck

How the FUCK does this happen... he's not even out of his 30s

He was already older than greg when they made the room

I don't give a shit if his story is real or not but that's one of the funniest bits in The Room.

Seems pretty based to me

No. I remember correctly he was going through a rough patch with this girlfriend, that led to them breaking up, and he was also basically doing five other production jobs for the film. He just didn't shave and then did to sort of "refresh."

It was never because of Bryan Cranston or another role that was all fake.

Still would fuck Lisa.

He pretends to be weird. Tommy's genuinely weird

He looks fine for his age, probably a lot better than the retards in this thread will look at that age (or even now).

>and a role in Tommy's movie
He left the apartment before The Room's script was even finished.

She's so sexy
youtube.com/watch?v=zRydte-1wRk&t=206s

She's so hot.

I'd fuck her right in the belly

you mean the story, or characters?

Tommy didn't sign Greg up for this. Greg wrote this movie. It's directed by a completely other guy. Tommy's just a hired actor in this movie.

STOP GANGING UP ON MEEEEEEEEEE

Hi Philip

Why doesn't that book have the proper title. Prof. Ted's manifesto is called "Industrial Society and It's Future," not "The Unabomber Manifesto." And by the way it's an excellent read.

Yeah that bugs me too

oh hi mark

Greg talks about loving Tommy's reaction to Doggeee. I imagine shit like that is the reason he didn't completely cut him off after The Room finished. He still helped Tommy put it on DVD

Didn't Greg write the role for him?

>>Sells the rights to the film to be made into a comedy starring James Franco and Seth Rogen
You mean the one where tommy is literally a producer and has a scene IN THE FUCKING MOVIE where hes arguing with francos tommy, or the fact that they are still friends to this day and still work together weekly.

It probably had a interpretation section or brief biography of the author.

>this is a 40 year old man

I can't believe it.

>quick rundown??
Take the call.

Pretty sad when you have to tell yourself lies to not kill yourself. Might as well just kill yourself at that point.

she looks like your average k-mart shopper

But The Room wouldnt have happened if Tommy did that

>He read the damn script and agreed to do it,
No he didn't. He was very clear from day one he didn't want to act in it. Tommy hired another actor, never intending to actually use him, and muscled Greg into the role.

I think it's very clear from this post that you didn't read the book.

In case you're wondering, that scene with Bryan Cranston never happened. Greg really didn't have anything going on with acting.

>and a role in Tommy's movie
Did any of you faggots read the book? Greg wanted nothing to do with Tommy's movie.

Where did Tommy get his money from?

contra-fucking.band

It's funny how some people think. Someone with lots of money buys you shit and pays your rent and somehow people twist themselves into being a victim in this scenario. Parasites.

Tommy charged 200$ rent and never cashed the checks until he was really starting to lose it while Greg was getting auditions.

Time flies by. Tommy got smol

actually, it's an interesting take about a washed up wannabe actor trying to get into Hollywood, even he with his good looks can only do so much without having jewish connections

reminder wisseu posts on Sup Forums and is a deeply bitter and resentful man.

>and has a scene IN THE FUCKING MOVIE
What scene?
