I prefer when the song was a plot point on My Name is Earl

Such a versatile & talented singer. People will remember the 80s hits, but check the rest of her catalogue, she can really sing anything.

I think I’d like to watch this , but I’d need near fatal blood /alcohol levels to really appreciate it .

I honestly cant work out if Breen is a genius who’s in on the joke , or just a very very VERY dedicated but oblivious bad filmaker . The only way I can watch his stuff is drunk , and with a room full of fellow drunks who are enjoying how ..just...nuts it all is , but believe me , its a fun evening whenever I do.

I swear I’ve been seeing cuts from this, or maybe the trailer (if it actually has one) since before the pandemic.

Very true, but I would also separate enjoying watching things that you know are bad and watching them because they are bad from thinking something you have been told is bad or know is bad is good (and possibly hiding that you think it is good). Or even from thinking it is good for different reasons while acknowledging…

I have heard that (a) he doesn’t need the money, (b) he both is and isn’t in on the joke. He has been doing this for a very long time now. He knows that he is being laughed at but he is needy enough to go get laughed at, that would make me uncomfortable. At the same time, he believes that this is getting out his work…

It’s funny when a director sincerely tries to make a good movie and it turns out to be complete garbage.

He’s likely making a modest sum of money of these roadshows, but I will admit that I would feel somewhat uncomfortable actually attending one of these shows, laughing at his work while he is in the same room.  Maybe he’s fully cognizant and completely in on the joke, but it would still feel awkward.

I personally felt really terrible after The Room...I mean...the guy is unwell...I guess I am glad I saw it, not just for the cultural references (particularly Frank in Always Sunny) and for the rooftop “football” and finding out that backdrop was actually a greenscreen, things like that, but the actual experience of…

+1 internets...how did they not include this?

I think part of the fun is that, at least from this review, it seems that even when Tommy Wiseau leans in to making an intentionally bad movie, he still can’t avoid the fact that he doesn’t actually know how to make a competent film.

Yeah these “egosploitation” movies by massively untalented/unexperienced auteurs are only enjoyable when there’s actual earnestness behind the whole thing.

It sounds like somehow 20 years later, Tommy doesn't have any idea how filmmaking works.  That's honestly charming, no matter how much time passes, the concept of moviemaking doesn't seem to evolve for this man.

Never has “You’re tearing me apart!” been as appropriate as it is in a Tommy Wiseau shark movie.

Yikes! I was thinking of this guy’s name today even though I’ve never seen him in anything. I’m in the Midwest. Hope a land shark doesn’t get me.

This.
Sounds.
Awesome.

i refuse to get on board with this crap. it’s one thing for a director to make one unintentionally hilarious Z-movie. it’s another to capitalize on that to make a deliberately bad movie aiming only for cheap laughs.

I wonder how Ed Wood would’ve reacted if when he was alive he’d acquired the kind of ironic fandom he got after he died.
