Maybe I skimmed that part because I also I don't remember that part. I both want and not want it on the Special Edition 3D 4K edition.

Yeah, as far as I recall, he definitely unzipped his pants, but did not whip it out and jerk it. Other than the unzipping, it was pretty much identical to what ended up in the film. Hang on, let me check my e-copy. Got it!   So yeah, there is no secret Tommy flogging the little Denny footage. That we are aware of.

The key word is "simulates". No Mickey Mouse stuff here, he's not low-brow enough to actually gently caress the dress. He's not some Mickey Mouse pornographer, he's a serious filmmaker, and in serious Hollywood we only simulate that kind of thing.

But again, that's just what was in the script. The second passage I posted makes it clear that the scene filmed was exactly what we saw, sans unzipping.

I tried to explain to my girlfriend about the appeal of The Room last night, but I found it hard to convey the appreciation I have for the movie. First she asked me if it was one of those "so bad it's good" kind of movies, to which I replied that it wasn't really. She asked if that meant it was a so bad it's bad kind of movie, and if so, why would you want to watch it all? I tried to explain that watching the Room is a unique experience because there is no other movie like it. I tried to drive home the idea that it is more of an experience (as in you are experiencing something that you never thought could exist) more than just viewing a movie, but I don't think I sold it too well.

It really does defy classification in that sense. These days, when someone asks me what it is, I try to stick to "a fascinating experience that everyone needs to have". If it's not on one of those 500 MOVIES YOU NEED TO WATCH BEFORE YOU DIE lists, it needs to be.

Surely everyone has noticed this. It simply hasn't been commented on because we all already knew. It's just that the repeated mentioning of the numerous sex-scenes in this film compelled me to clarify that, of the three sex scenes, two are, in fact, the same one.

In real life, Johnny was just a mildly odd-looking guy with a slight accent, but Denny went overboard in trying to recall him.

Well, it's not exactly the same footage. However, it's all from the same day of filming, and only exists like that because Tommy didn't want to leave anything on the cutting room floor. Tommy has kind of a hoarder's mentality when it comes down to it. Keep everything, throw nothing away.

It may sound sexist, but most women I know don't like bad movies. Even ones that are so bad they're good. They also don't seem to like Eastbound and Down or Kevin McBride, supposedly along the same lines.

I'm half way through The Disaster Artist and it's really eye opening. When I watched The Room a couple of weeks ago I found it fun and really intriguing. Now that I'm reading the book I find myself becoming increasingly disturbed by Tommy. Last night I read through the car ride where he scares Greg all to hell and then the part where he admits to spying on the crew and recording all of his phone conversations. It's not funny anymore, this guy is an absolute lunatic- he's possessive, unstable, manipulative, and delusional, I'd say he even boarders on the line of deranged. That whole thing in the car when he was interrogating Greg was the last straw for me, he's not a likable kind of guy who's eccentric, he's a hosed up weirdo. It makes me sad that this guy has somehow managed a career despite lacking any semblance of talent. He's unlikable, almost certainly involved in criminal activity, and did I mention that he's a loving lunatic? This guy doesn't deserve any of our money or any of our attention because it feeds his ego and rewards his poo poo behavior. You'll never see me at one of these screenings and that's too bad because it would be a drat good time.

For some reason you're judging Tommy Wiseau by the same criteria as you would a human being. I think he's remarkably cool for an extraterrestrial mummy!

Or vampire space car. But yeah, my one concern about Rogen/Franco taking over this movie is that they'll gloss over how dark and hosed up it actually is for "weird guy with accent" comedy.

I guess coasting on The Room for the past 11 years has kept him going, but other than that, he has like one 10-minute TV episode and a few YouTube videos to his acting resume.

The most appalling thing about the book is that Tommy is a self-made millionaire/real estate mogul.

The thing to remember here is that Tommy has to have some likeable qualities or Greg wouldn't have stuck by him for as long as he has. I stand by my belief that Tommy is likely bipolar, which explains his breakneck personality shifts, or has some other mental disorder as a result of his (admittedly, theoretical) life experiences.
