My favorite part of the book this movie was based off of was when Greg Sestero was living with Tommy and went to go see "The Talented Mr. Ripley" at the behest of a friend. The movie is about a sociopath who adheres to a successful and popular family, tries to emulate the charming young man at the center of it, becomes so obsessed he falls in love with him and ends up clubbing him to death with an oar in a fit of mania. Greg walks out of the theater white as a sheet and thinking "Oh my god, Tommy's gonna kill me."
You're so right, and then he goes home to his parent's house and has a horrible two week flu-type illness which further screws up his outlook temporarily.

The big responsible for that is Greg Sestero, who wrote the book and focused not only on how shitty The Room was, but the human side of Tommy that nobody else knew about.
This is what I feel Mike & Jay missed. To me this was along the lines of, I'm Still Here, and was all about Tommy from the eyes of Greg; how he's misunderstood and has the same needs as everyone else.
DPofEternalnessity I've listened to quite a few interviews with him. Whenever anyone tries to go in depth with him, he dismissively says "I don't want to answer that. Move on." He only recently admitted on Stern that his accent is from Eastern Europe.
@@3AHoles A good rule of thumb is to not believe in pheromones of any type, suspended in any vehicle, be it body mist, moisturizer creme, or boxed cake mix. I'm sure there are more ways to be gay than to eat cake infused with gay pheromones.
It wasn't (sorry for spoilers). Jay and Harry did really fall for each other. Maybe extra sugar abd feeling of success after it helped them to love each other?
You guys helped me work through what I didn't know was appendicitis pain and now you're helping me with post-op recovery. Who knew listening to people critique movies helps distract from horrible abdominal pain? Much appreciated!
the audio book version of the Disaster Artist book is great, Greg narrates it and does a perfect Tommy impersonation for his dialogue. I kind of can't imagine this movie living up to the audio book, which is weird.
There are some eerie parallels between the Tommy/Greg and Mike/Jay dynamic, one a creepy, controlling weirdo, and the other a handsome, all American best friend. I don’t mean this point too seriously.
I feel like the best way to experience this is to watch The Room, then watch The Disaster Artist, and then read The Disaster Artist. That way you're not constantly comparing the movie to the book, and each new thing that you're exposed to in regards to The Room ends up building up your understanding of Tommy in layers.
I saw the premiere of 'The Disaster Artist' in Melbourne, where Greg Sestero presented. He spoke for about half an hour, answering questions. Was rather witty and made Tommy Wiseau out to be a complete narcissist (unsurprising). The film was hilarious but I agree that the humour comes from the mocking the film does of The Room. Also, glad you guys brought up the homoeroticism, particularly from Tommy's side. I haven't read the book so couldn't figure out whether they added it for the film (this being a James Franco film after all...) and what the actual context was.
Damn, now I really want to see David Fincher direct a version of The Disaster Artist now hahah I think a serious film about the psychological aspects of ego in film making inspired by The Room would be fantastic to be fair
He enjoys adapting "The Great American Novel". THREE Faulkner adaptations, a Steinbeck (which is probably the best thing he's made, though that's not saying much) and I think he still owns the rights to a Bukowski. If you thought the make-up in The Disaster Artist was a trip, wait 'till you see Franco as a character with acne so bad he has boils the size of grapes all over his face!
Simply put... if you've read The Disaster Artist book, don't watch the movie it's not even 10% as good... but if you like the Room and haven't read/don't intend to read the Disaster Artist book, give the film a shot.
That's too bad that the movie leaves out the darker aspects of Tommy's personality that are described in the book. I loved the book, and smoothing over Tommy's rough edges seems a bit disingenuous to me.
Exactly and you don't have to make Tommy a monster you show the good and bad sides of him like they did in the book it's like they were affraid that Tommy would not approve the movie so they made him a hero
Exactly, what made the Disaster Artist so compelling to read wasn't the behind-the-scenes stuff about The Room, it was the study of Tommy. It was dark at times, but it also made Tommy a deeply sympathetic character. Pretty disappointing.
I did see the movie, and it absolutely left out a lot of Tommy's darker moments from the book, which I also read. Tommy's growing jealousy and childish tantrums he had at Greg at Tommy's apartment, like raising the rent to spite Greg for his success, or Tommy driving like a madman, almost getting into accidents seemingly to scare Greg with Greg in the car because Tommy was mad at him. These were left out, and it makes the movie feel less accurate to the book. I could go on, too, but I think you get my point.
Also the Office has a scene like that. Everyone's laughing at Michaels movie, he gets upset. But then recognizes that they are enjoying the movie anyhow and he's cool with it and starts laughing too.
Well I for one loved it. I will concede that the beginning would be confusing to non-fans and that the movie is kind of generous to Tommy. Now I wanna see a movie about James Franco’s process about making the movie about the man who made The Room
I prefer the book/audiobook but I do applaud Franco for directing what he can do with the screenplay, which was much toned down and altered to make it more streamlined.
Dinner Blaster yeah, hearing from Greg’s own voice really gives your a much clearer insight to his relationship with Tommy. The manipulation, the push pull of pity, guilt, and frustration is tonaly very important.
godammit you missed out on the RedLetterMedia storyline you dumb fuck. Mike is plotting to steal all of Mr.Plinkett's Bank Account money by arousing him and Jay with gay pheromones , to entice them to marry each other, but every now and them he realizes that not only would Jay and Plinkett waste all the money on their honey moon, but probably wouldn't be able to make a proxy account to steal the money from, every intro of a Half in The Bag episode ever since 2006 or something starts and ends with a sketch gag eventially developing into a storyline, it's a amalgamation of the "TH-camr Movie Syndrome" James Rolfe made the TheAngryVideoGameNerdMovie , Mike and Jay made Space Cop ,The Nostalgia Critic used to make short films with a bunch of reviewers back in the old days, and pretty much every other cancerous youtuber did their own movie like Smosh,Fred and even fucking Pewdiepie. watch everything, or else you'll never be able to fully appreciate and throughly enjoy RedLetterMedia
My girlfriend met Tommy Wiseau once. She noticed he was wearing numerous belts around his waist. They served no practical purpose and her best guess was that this was his idea of “accessorizing”.
That whole director getting laughed at and taking offense and then someone comforting thing happens on the office too with Michael Scott's action movie.
I like that he made the Doogie Howser comparison. It's actually an EXTREMELY COMMON story template. You would not believe how many episodes of a tv show have someone making the bad movie/play that people laugh at and then they have to be told "but they're not laughing at you, they're laughing with you!" Is there a TV Tropes page for this yet?
So a mediocre actor/director directs and stars in a movie about a terrible actor/director directing and starring in a movie. We just need Quentin Tarantino to make a movie about The Disaster Artist
If you're ever in America (or are here now), just start telling everyone that's your tradition. We'll believe you. You'll get fed SO much cake before your wedding!
Real life Greg has a very "I'm dead inside, please kill me" look when he's around Tommy. Movie Greg is just happy to be around Tommy and wants to be with him. I'm not sure if it's the script or if Dave is a bad actor, but he's nothing like Greg in this.
They’ve known each other for years, kind of a strained friendship but I guess they like each other so it’s natural that greg would kind of be meh with tommy . Back then though, you gotta remember he was 19 years old and am actor looking for an opportunity and he meets this eccentric guy and is in awe of him and gets cast in his movie so naturally I can see a young Greg being in awe of him. It’s really not that far fetched.
@@cicolasnage5684 have you read the book? The Tommy & Greg relationship that is portrayed there is nothing like the one in movie. Dave Franco is completely wrong for the role. Sestero refused to play in The Room, until Wiseau basically promised him a salary that meant he never had to work again, and in the movie, Greg seems like groupie that would do anything for him. Just the fact that Dave is shorter and less handsome than James Franco makes it look like The Room cosplay at best.
jack bran jack bran trying to figure out exactly what you're saying here, but I think you may be misinformed. The Room came before Disaster Artist, which was Sestero's account of the production of The Room and living with Tommy. "Source material" You're giving Wiseau too much credit.
Since hearing them mention Boogie Nights all I can think of is Paul Thomas Anderson directing this film. Come to think of it, Joaquin would make an excellent Tommy Wiseau
James Franco also played a character on General Hospital named Franco, who's a multi-media artist/serial killer. apparently, he was encouraged to seek out the role for his work in Maladies, where he plays a former soap opera actor trying to make it as a writer.
Coming back to this review now that I have seend DIsaster Artist, I feel like I am the kind of guy this movie was aimed for. I know about the room, seen reviews and heard all the stories, but I have yet to see The Room itself (we keep talk about it with friends how we will grab some beers and watch but so far no good), so I actually enjoyed this movie quite a bit. I did not mind the Hollywoody buddy comedy things between Tommy and Greg as much and the scenes where Room is made are geuinely entertaning .So I feel like someone like me is the proper audience for it. Someone who knows about the Room, but have not seen it yet.
You know, I read the book, and it feels like the stuff leading up to the filming would have made a great film on its own, just chronicling the path that Greg Sestero took to acting in a terrible film, then his attempts to salvage and rescue a project that has everyone walking out or cursing out Tommy for his horrendous behavior. You put the film itself in the background, maybe throw in a couple scenes of Tommy's horrible acting here and there, and just focus on Greg's strained relationship with this horrible, crazy man. But, as they pointed out, Tommy would have never signed off on it, even though it makes for a better story. A shame, that.
God when Jay mentioned the Doogie episode, as soon as he mentioned what Greg says that triggered my memory and it was like Jay was in real time narrating me remembering that Doogie Howser episode. Mad
Pretty damn funny that James Franco might get Oscar nomination for Tommy Wiseau's role. I just want to see "and the oscar goes too" and the "i did naaaht" scene on the big screen, while real Tommy gives the Oscar to Franco.
Does anyone remember when they first announced that James Franco was going to make this movie? I can distinctly remember Franco saying he wanted it to be a semi-remake of The Room. Am I just imagining that? I could have sworn he said that way back when the movie was announced. That could explain why the film ultimately didn't go in the right direction.
My favorite part of the book this movie was based off of was when Greg Sestero was living with Tommy and went to go see "The Talented Mr. Ripley" at the behest of a friend. The movie is about a sociopath who adheres to a successful and popular family, tries to emulate the charming young man at the center of it, becomes so obsessed he falls in love with him and ends up clubbing him to death with an oar in a fit of mania.

The irony is the Room will probably be remembered far longer than any James Franco film .
I bet they totally tried, but it turned out they couldn't have sold that version... and after all; integrity is nice, but money...
The most impressive part was how they presented a more human side to Tommy than Tommy ever has.
SUBJECT TO CHANGE yeah at the end he was more human than a meme
The big responsible for that is Greg Sestero, who wrote the book and focused not only on how shitty The Room was, but the human side of Tommy that nobody else knew about.

I can give you something else that's endless and black.
Or 20 straight minutes of transformer noises.
Is Jay going to fall in love with Mike?
shaomin86 everyone else has!
Please get some Lighting Fast VCR Repair shirts in stock for Christmas.
You know, I read the book, and it feels like the stuff leading up to the filming would have made a great film on its own, just chronicling the path that Greg Sestero took to acting in a terrible film, then his attempts to salvage and rescue a project that has everyone walking out or cursing out Tommy for his horrendous behavior. You put the film itself in the background, maybe throw in a couple scenes of Tommy's horrible acting here and there, and just focus on Greg's strained relationship with this horrible, crazy man.
But, as they pointed out, Tommy would have never signed off on it, even though it makes for a better story. A shame, that.
DONT SIGN THIS CONTRACT JAY! IT'S A TRAP!
I DON'T LIKE THEM PUTTING CHEMICALS IN THE CAKE THAT TURN THE FREAKEN REVIEWERS GEYYYY
Is Rich Evans a disaster artist too?
absolute madman
He's an artistic disaster
his fire safety record is pretty disastrous
They also do the Doogie houser thing on the Office when they watch Threat level midnight
Today is an embarrassment of riches.
God when Jay mentioned the Doogie episode, as soon as he mentioned what Greg says that triggered my memory and it was like Jay was in real time narrating me remembering that Doogie Howser episode. Mad
Pretty damn funny that James Franco might get Oscar nomination for Tommy Wiseau's role. I just want to see "and the oscar goes too" and the "i did naaaht" scene on the big screen, while real Tommy gives the Oscar to Franco.
At LA Comic Con, somebody put their hand on my chest for an uncomfortably long time and then said "excuuuuse me." It was Tommy Wiseau.
I think confused and perplexed is just how Dave Franco's face looks
Idea: Mike and Jay make their own adaptation of The Disaster Artist
17:21 Jay, that's Dave Franco in EVERY movie.. i'll admit sometimes it works more than others lol
Does anyone remember when they first announced that James Franco was going to make this movie? I can distinctly remember Franco saying he wanted it to be a semi-remake of The Room. Am I just imagining that? I could have sworn he said that way back when the movie was announced. That could explain why the film ultimately didn't go in the right direction.
Guys I don’t think they have enough copies of vampire assassin. Send more.
I really love the fact that there are a bunch of Blade knockoff DVDs around the background.
It only just occurred to me how sculpted Jay's hair is
People who ironically like terrible movies or music are a problem.
You are tearing me apart Plinkett!
