      BanditIncorporated The thing is he kind of already did that when he made the Tommy Wiseau show sketch after JohnFromTheRoomMovie.com threatened for copyright violation to which Doug took his NC review of The Room off the site.

    Tommy is an enigma. I am convinced that he is Count Dracula in modern day which is why he doesn't say where he is from, why his hair is like it is, and why he always wears sunglasses in public. Gregg Sestero who played Mark in The Room even said that when he first met Tommy he thought he might be a vampire.

      Xanatos People are enjoying his movie.. perhaps not the way intended, but that's alright lol I'm glad I saw the Room. Besides, he's not exactly walking around doing lots of evil things. However, I think it would be great if someone talked with him as a friend and pointed out some stuff he could change. But I think all people need that, so he's not too different from other people when it comes to big picture stuff. There's no need to judge him too hard, because I'd rather spend that energy on unfair politics, foreign or local, for example. Or something serious like that at least. But some like to spend time dissing entertainers they don't like.. Well, that's life I guess, and artists are public people of course, but I'm just never gonna understand people who hate on harmless entertainment too much.

  • @ThePlamzJoker

    He is truly insane. Every time Doug tried to get answers for all the wacky things that made no sense about Tommy and the movie, he just went off into his own world and rambled some nonsense about "you see, people don't understand..." that's just it, Tommy, we don't understand. At all. That's why we're all dying to know what the hell is going on in your head, but of course he never gives any straightforward answers. This man is honestly something else in the world of movie fame.

    Absolutely not trying to sound condescending or trying to be mean, I genuinely feel sorry for him.
    I can only imagine how hard it must be to really invest yourself in something, to create something that obviously is very personal and close to your heart and then it becomes a legendary laughing stock.
    He seems to have created a career around turning these lemons into lemonade, but I can't shake the feeling that he's hurting a little on the inside.

    • @toma.4808
      @toma.4808 5 років тому +11

      I think at first it might've upset him, but to be honest, after much thought he came to the conclusion that theres a silver lining in every cloud and found a measure of positivity in it. After all, did he truley suffer from the ridicule? Hes something of a pop icon because of the film and hes still doing his thing

    What was funny to me was how Tommy was pretty clearly lying in response to Doug's question about the spoons in the frame--he asked Greg Sestero (Mark in the Room) the same question, and Greg explained that they were stock photos and they just didn't have time to change them out. Tommy is so delusional, he thinks he can make some great metaphor out of things that were clearly just mistakes.

      Why are you getting triggered over an issue that is about sppons? Insults and name calling won't change the facts that he did it for reasons of metaphor. You know, calling people names like "delusional" despite not knowing who they actually are behind the screen is pretty immature. Ill-informing yourself to the absurd claims of someone as a terrible basis JUST to judge someone as delusional actually reveals you delusional. I would advise you to keep to your lane. Go and pontificate about else. You are no expert on Tommy nor The Room. This is 2017 and we are not going to accept half-baked attempts to define and categorize Tommy Wiseau. Get a life.

    @jackhammer5912 8 років тому +24

    i believe that this movie was made after a long life of deep depression and disconection, making this film the chance for him to get over his sadness, doing something about it, and live the life he always wanted, on and off screen, and yet at the same time reflect on his sad life . It ended up being a big mix of things that may or may have never happened, exaggerations, metafors, memories of things that he enjoyed experiencing or wishes he had experienced, all of this combined with his few ability and unique perspective on things

      Daytime Sky He does come off as *very* socially impaired, yes. Being diagnosed with aspergers myself I recognize myself in few cases of his behavior (though not nearly as extreme). My reaction throughout the book varied between unabashed giggling and utter disbelief (like Philip Haldiman((Denny))'s age compared to the rest of the younger members of the cast, to name just one small instance). In the end though I just ended up feeling sorry for everyone involved, even Wiseau.

    honestly, I am trying very hard to listen to Tommy, and I go back frequently to re-listen, cause I get so lost, I really want to listen to his answers and understand them, but I am so confused and honestly cannot understand him. I don't know if it's his accent, or the fact that it's over phone (actually I know that's a huge part of it for me), but he slurs so much, and I feel like he keeps changing what he's talking about constantly. I am so confused, I wish the captions were better and accurate.

He'd be better off speaking in his own native tongue and participating in interviews that way, but he won't do any of that. Either he is more aware of his status than he lets on and wants to keep people in the dark about him to maintain interest via mystique, or he's hiding from someone or something.

    The question regarding which part of America he's from was quite creative and made me laugh.
    Whatever else you can say about Tommy Wiseau -- and you can say a _lot_ -- he does seem to be super optimistic about everything considering how much shit he takes (deserved or undeserved). So, I gotta give him credit where it's due.
    That said (and so I suppose this counts as part of that "whatever else" I mentioned), I can't help noticing throughout this interview that he's constantly saying things like "I respect people and like people no matter what -- and that's why I'm talking to you" as if to say, "You hurt my feelings, but I'm going to be big about it and still talk to you as if you hadn't hurt my feelings -- but you did (just wanna make sure you know that)."

    You know, it's hard to believe that Tommy had the NC review of The Room taken down for copyright infrigement, but to see him doing this, it shows he's learned his lesson. Not only that, but he's expressed support for Bobsheaux, who reviewed the first episode of The Neighbours. I personally think that when Tommy made that takedown, he genuinly had no idea about fair use or how it worked, but now that he's learned about it and how it's actually helping bring his work to attention, he's embraced it.
