Or Alec Baldwin as Tommy. That would be amazing.

Not like going to pond, fishing trout or tuna. This shark, he will tear you apart! Some shaking and baking, and then you drown! And you do it fast for the tourists, no Mickey Nouse stuff. Not going to be nice, huh? I value my suit more than three thousand dollars. I just find for three, but I catch, kill, maybe eat for ten. But you need to all make up minds. If staying alive is what you are wanting, pay me my money, okay? If you are wanting to be Mickey Mouse chickens, live on water and bread. No volunteers, no mateys, captains are too many around here! Remember, ten thousand gets me by myself, and I give you head, tail, drat everything, huh?

This is fun, but hard as balls trying to find one that translates to Wiseau really well sometimes. Sons of Scottishland! I am being William Wallace. And I am seeing whole army of my countrypeoples, here fighting the tyranny. You've come now to fight while being free men... and free men you are still being. What will you do with that freedom, hah? Will you be fighting, hah? Yes, fight and maybe you be dead. Be running, and you'll live for little bit. But dying in beds, when you is old and sick, would you be want to be willing to trade everydays, from this day to tomorrow, for one chance, just the one chance, to come back today and be telling our enemies that while they may be taking our lives, they will never be taking... OUR FREEDOMS!

Enjoyed this book a lot. It makes you feel a bit sorry for Tommy (supposing a lot of the author's descriptions of his background are accurate) while still making him come across as incompetent and insufferable.

So the inevitable has happened, someone did some research and uncovered records of people who are almost certainly Tommy's family. Assuming the book is accurate and Greg didn't do something crazy and copy the identities of a bunch of real people to build a fake story of Tommy's past or something - case closed, he's Polish.

I'm curious about what Wiseau thinks about this book. Considering how he's portrayed as a fiercely private person, I can't imagine how Greg could get his approval for this.

According to Sestero's interview with Doug Walker, he "Support book fifty percent, hah?" I finished it over the weekend and, well, wow. I hadn't really pegged The Room as something as unique as it may be. The surrealist American dream is really remarkable. Even if his flight from Poland and episodes in France were completely fabricated, Wiseau may be a more important contemporary figure than his terrible movie first appears. Here's a man, enamored with Hollywood, who builds an empire chasing a futile dream. A dream that absolutely breaks him, but never seems to stop driving him. And, now, personally both believes himself to have succeded fully and is widely regarded as a madman for doing so. Wiseau may well be a sociopath, but The Room may just be the tragedy he intended it to be.

I'd be willing to bet that Tommy's okay with it because it's attention.

Listen to me. Pay attention, this the important part. OK, so you need to throw the acid in children's face if I ask. No Mickey Mouse poo poo! You work, you getting caught and then dying. Is no other way. Maybe in thousand year, things not be so bad. But you and me, we are the dead ones. OK now you go, and get that awful wine smell with you! Ha ha, I joke with you!

I just chewed through this book in a sitting. I was expecting light-hearted comedy and was surprised by how creepy, scary, and downright depressing and sad it could get. What a wild ride through a deranged man's life and emotions. I highly recommend reading this to fans of The Room, people interested in movie making, and anyone looking for a funny yet heart-breaking look at a man who has all the money in the world yet struggles desperately to find happiness.

I read an article in Harper's a few years back that mentioned that Wiseau made a short documentary about homelessness that wasn't completely terrible, and I'm pretty sure that it never came up in the book. This is weird, since that article was written by Tom Bissell, who co-wrote The Disaster Artist. I also get the feeling that Greg knows more than he's letting on about this Drew Caffrey guy.

Wait, this article on The Verge says Franco is starring in it. I didn't know that had been confirmed. But the article lead me to this on Instagram: So I guess the brothers really will be playing Greg and Tommy?
