Has anyone else read this? It's so frigging crazy.
My favorite parts:
-Wiseau wanting to do a subplot in the movie about Johnny being a vampire and having a flying car (Why did they talk him out of this?)
-Wiseau insisting he show his bare ass or the movie "wouldn't sell."
-Wiseau confiding in Sestero that the character of Mark was named after the famous Hollywood actor "Mark Damon."
-Sestero's mom threatening Wiseau not to try anything with her son and his hilariously vague response.

I have not read it, but I've heard Sestero's appearance on the Fogelnest Files podcast. That was quite entertaining.

My sister is buying two copies of this book come Christmas time. One for me and one for herself. My friends are also dying for me to get the book. I honestly can't wait to read it.

DAMN IT!!...we were this close to the greatest movie ever.
He better make a sequel because the world needs Wiseau in a flying car.

He didn't really die when he shot himself, he was just trying to get rid of Mark & Lisa(which was hard for him because of how ridiculously sexy she was) & he ended up turning Denny into his "special" vampire sidekick. |

I've already read it twice. It is hilarious and poignant as well. It also totally alters how you watch the movie. Especially knowing the process of filming some scenes.

My new favorite "what could have been" story: Instead of casting a new actor to play Chris-R, Wiseau originally wanted to cast Mike Scott (the underwear guy) in the role, meaning one actor would be playing two entirely different roles in the film. Wiseau figured if he dressed Scott in a cap and large black-rimmed glasses the audience would never guess it was the same person.

I had no idea this even existed. It will definitely be the next book I read.

Johnny being a vampire and having a flying car would be too autobiographical.

always liked Patton Oswalt's theory for how The Room got funding, myself.

Greg should leave his stupid comments in his pocket.

Greg betray me! I'm fed up with this world! Being best friends with Tommy for 15 years THEN turning around and trashing him in a book is a pretty Mark-like move for Greg to pull. |

I went ahead and bought this on Kindle and I'm already a few chapters in. It is fantastic.

That's true, Greg ended up doing exactly what Mark would have done. You don't see Denny writing any books. I'm not sure Denny CAN write, but still... |
