I was hoping they had reshot the entire film and would include it as a bluray extra.

exquisite tea posted:The ending montage wasn't really for fans of the Room, it was to show the likely majority of cinema goes who have never seen The Room that it was a thing that actually existed, recreated with impeccable attention to detail. I agree with this but I think that could've been achieved by just playing clips from the original movie alongside the credits. Make them all clips that we'd seen during the film so the audience gets what they did. Seeing them side by side only highlighted the times that the recreation wasn't that perfect. It just just kind of awkward to watch and the person who I went with knew nothing about The Room and didn't understand the point of doing it the way they did.

Snatching away what easily would have been the moment of the night. For shame, Franco. It's not like you're not making millions off of laughing at a rube.

It's funny in context too. Franco has this speech ready to go, which he wrote on his phone (lol) and Tommy comes up to sneak snatch the mic after the hug.

Saw Disaster Artist finally today. I liked the movie but I have to agree that it does feel fairly sanitized compared to the book. Wasn't a fan of some of the handheld camerawork either- some of that legit looked worse than The Room itself did. Still, I had fun with the movie. James and Dave both were great as Tommy and Greg. I'm glad Tommy himself got to be onstage at the Golden Globes.

Saw the movie, I had read the spoilers on wikipedia already also. They changed alot and squished so much of the book together. The only thing that really strikes me as weird is they totally leave out how Tommy bought Greg a car to be in The Room. There also wasn't some fight between Tommy and Greg during the end of the shooting either.

Unfortunately there's no way we would've gotten awesome moments like Tommy trying to steal the mic if he was portrayed as the villain he is, rather than just a misunderstood "artist" with boundary issues they seem to have put in the movie.

We don't even know how much of the book was dramatized/true. I just view both as loose adaptations of how the movie was made, and wasn't necessarily looking for a 1-1 match (in fact, I forgot most of the book before watching the movie).

I started watching Seinfeld's Comedians Getting Coffee show on Netflix and in the episode with Howard Stern, Stern only orders a cup of hot water to drink at the restaurant. Tommy is in good company!

Unless he inherited all his money he had have gotten real hosed up at some point. I don't believe that could accumulate wealth like that even through illicit means in the state we all know.

The theory I most believe in is that he was not just in a car accident but possibly in one before he was a legal adult and that the massive payout came from that was extremely well managed by whoever was maintaining Tommy's money in the meantime.

Why is it so hard to believe that he just made his money from real estate. Its not like its outrageously complicated to flip property or collect overpriced rent in a city like SF

I went and saw the Room tonight at the theater. There was just this guy who would not shut up. Like everyone's doing the spoon thing, the focus, cheering the bridge on all the stuff I've experienced before but this one guy would not shut the gently caress up. None of his jokes were funny. It was nice seeing it on the big screen again though

I was wondering that. Like if you went and saw The Room at an AMC or Regal theater or something, did people still do the spoon throwing and stuff? The only theater I've been to where that's happened was a single screen local theater. I remember when I saw The Room with Rifftrax at an AMC, no one did anything like that and the crowd was full too.

I didn't really know much about the real life events so I thought the message was going to be 'using nice guy tropes and sitting by her bedside doesn't mean poo poo if the relationship itself doesn't work'. I go into all rom coms hoping the insufferable leads don't end up together though.
