someone wrote an excellent (and really long) review of the movie/book here

I kinda disagree about the shortcomings of the movie - Tommy isn't really presented as a likeable person there either, but yeah the tonal differences are pretty stark. That said, I can forgive that given this was a major motion picture that had to be funny and concise and not go that far off the deep end. Still, really good read

Sometimes, things happen on the internet that are so weird or singular that you can’t really say anything about them other than “well, here it is.” This is one of those things. Courtesy of YouTube channel Octopie and created by Brock LaBorde, this is the “pilot” for an animated series called SpaceWorld that features Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero from The Room has intergalactic bounty hunter rivals, with Wiseau playing the Han Solo-esque TX and Sestero playing a monstrous robot dude named Dorgol.

that was actually pretty funny

she should change her stage name to Tomi Mwiseau https://t.co/JsMLB2zCc1

I've seen a few other clips, and boy ...

who's gonna take the plunge and watch this

From the trailer, it looks like the same scene over and over again with her threatening him with a different weapon each time.

"That really escalated!"

8 seconds later...

"There's no need to escalate this"

this is too self-aware to be good

knowingly ironic, therefore unlikely to enter the canon of catastrophic vanity project auteurism

yeah exactly, The Room seems to be remarkable due to Wiseau's extreme ineptness being diligently mediated by a succession of nigh-professional hands. Neil Breen is a legit weirdo. Zack Snyder somehow convinces ppl to give him a hundred million dollars for his 12-yo-boy Big Ideas. This is just stupid (and made by someone with a repugnant soul).

Given that it features a powerful scumbag in a vanity production at the height of their infamy, it kind of reminds me of OJ Simpson's "Juiced"

The last old time picture palace in Houston that's still a movie theatre is having to permanently close next week, and I'm sad that for the foreseeable future we won't have a midnight movie home for The Room and Rocky Horror.

sorry, i'm on neil breen's planet now, don't have time for the Linton film

the upcoming remake of ‘THE ROOM,’

The only way that could be interesting is if they actually tried to make a good movie

The Room Reloaded

Same Room, Different Test Results

this strikes me as an idea that could potentially be very funny if it was done with a uh...less overexposed bad movie. have they never seen a Neil Breen film?

Should’ve picked like a forgotten D-tier 1970s comedy or something

your terrible ideas

Nah, The Room is a lot easier to put through the Gus Van Sant/Psycho postmodernism generator
