This book is worth throwing a TV out the window.

I finished the book the same day I got it. What a read.
I think my favorite part was Tommy's enforced method acting. "Your sister just became lesbian!"

Dude looked, acted and sounded like an awkward teenager (one of the few bits of realism in the movie, in fact).

Denny got old... how long was The Room on the shelf collecting dust before it was released because there's no way he aged that much in just over a decade

I always imagined Denny's character to be like that episode of Law and Order SVU where a really young-looking girl takes advantage of peoples' kindness and basically leeches off people by convincing them she is a child. Johnny is the nicest guy who ever lived so it fits.

How much money did he owe Chris-R anyway?

-Wiseau clearly getting off on their love scenes,while she's as freaked out as any woman would be having a naked Tommy Wiseau on top of them. I'm pretty sure one of the cast members said that as soon as the filming of the first sex scene started Wiseau pretty much jumped on Juliette Danielle while everyone else looked on in horror.

Greg Sestero said on Reddit that some studios are interested in turning The Disaster Artist into a movie, with Javier Bardem named as a potential Tommy Wisaeu.
IMO, no one can play Tommy Wiseau but Tommy.

IMO, no one can play Tommy Wiseau but Tommy. It would make for an awesome movie, but yeah, only Tommy can play Tommy. I think it'd be great if he played himself at all ages in the movie, too. It would fit in with how he's portrayed in the book.

I really need to read this book.
In a way, it sounds like it makes Tommy a little more sympathetic, from the sounds of things, and in other ways, it confirms a lot of the weird creepiness to him.

I think he comes off a lot less sympathetic really, especially when it's made clear just how crazy he's driving the crew with his lies and boorish behavior. I always thought of him as this lovable, eccentric guy, but he comes across like a bully. Sestero mentions that most of the crew weren't getting paid much at all, due to the low budget nature of the product, only for Wiseau to promptly have this fancy portable toilet (solely for himself) installed on the set for thousands of dollars. You can imagine the reaction to THAT. He also hurled a bottle of water at the original actress playing Michelle after she dared disagree with him in a meeting before filming.

Finished it recently. Good God, Tommy Wiseau...I honestly don't know what to think of him anymore.
The ending of the book, where it talks about Tommy's supposed past and arrival in America, is something I can't stop thinking about. I felt like I was reading the classic Batman story "The Killing Joke," reading it and feeling all kinds of sympathy and sadness for someone who's caused all kinds of trouble for people...only to have a dash of "If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!" doubt thrown in to the story.
