Last year we were reminded to never doubt James Cameron.
This year, Tommy Wiseau reminds the world just who they're dealing with.

So we'll have to contend with Tommy Wiseau and Neil Breen made movies.
May the heavens have mercy on my throat for the laughs I'll have.

Come on, Tommy. Bad CGI shark movies were last decade. It's all about wild animals on cocaine now. Get with the times.

This was already a Family Guy cutaway. Then it was the Meg.
It’s been done.

It's not interesting or notable when you make a bad film on purpose because you're playing up to your reputation for being rubbish at what you're trying to do.

I feel the same way about "Tommy Wiseau, bad film maker" that I do about "Virgil, wrestling superstar". What started as funny memes completely disintegrated when the people being meme'd got wise and tried leaning into it, which just made it lame and cringey. |

If he makes a film about Elephants, just remake the Room and call it "The Elephant In The Room"

I think that's the appeal of a Neil Breen film; he genuinely thinks he's this avant garde film maker who has a message to spread, even though people typically watch his movies to laugh at them. When someone is going "yeah, I suck therefore I shall lean into that", it loses all the appeal since you're just being lazy and not trying to figure out where you messed up. |

Welp, I just got back from viewing a screening of Big Shark, with Wiseau himself there. It was a fun event and Wiseau is a very friendly person. I loved the crowd interaction during the movie. Me in my shark hat with Wiseau (he looks kind of like a wax statue of himself). I had him autograph the hat.  I have no idea why he was in a glass box since he was freely walking down the theater aisle and fist bumping people while doing so. Other fans there said he used the box for his tours during covid time, so I'm guessing he liked it so much he kept using it. Greg Sestero also showed up (most likely since The Room was being shown right after Big Shark). That was pretty cool.  Now for the movie itself,....it was a surreal clusterf***. It's like him making a bad movie on purpose is even more weird than when he did by accident. Things just happen without rhyme and reason (the shark just appears out of the blue halfway through the film), and it's very badly edited. You see shots abruptly change , and audio changes in quality dramatically (at least The Room looked and sounded well edited). I'm guessing Wiseau himself edited the film. The line between what he intended and what were mistakes becomes very blurred. There were references to The Room that I'm guessing he put in so people would yell the same things that they do to that during Big Shark. So, should you watch it? With friends, yes. By yourself, no. It drags in certain parts, and works better as something to riff with people. |
