Is Tommy Wiseau actually an extremely intellectual and self-aware man? Is The Room actually avant garde art house?
What makes you say that?

Because he's a crazy half-retard who made the movie to embezzle money from the russian mafia
>>64261701
No, he is either:
1) A successful legitimate business man who wanted to make a movie for whatever reasons which ended up being so bad it's good
2) A successful dodgy business man who wanted to make a movie to launder money which ended up being so bad it's good

You must be kidding aren't you

The film has a very consistent surreal/ridiculous design, and an immense cult following. It manages to be as hilariously terrible as possible without looking like that was the intention behind it. Also, he's like, self-made rich or something. Are we dealing with genius here?

If Lynch had made this people would be praising it to no end.

Are you talking like Producers style shit here or something?
>>64261882
One of the actors in The Room said it, and doesn't sound any less ridiculous than wiseau's own backstory
>>64261936
Nah The Producers was about insurance right?
This is more about writing huge losses against the movie and moving that cash to other businesses/people that Tommy or the people he's laundering the money for controls. Apparently Hollywood does it all the time.

They're not similar. I mean shot in that Twin Peaks shitty subversive soap opera kind of way.
I liked that high test chick.

That was sortof like The Producers. It was having a bunch of investors simultaneously invest in the movie, each thinking they had a large percentage of the profits when it wasn't true, and then intentionally producing a flop so that it wasn't noticed, while keeping all of the excess investor cash. I think it's pretty similar in concept to what you're describing.

I think he made her cry. Not 100% sure.
>>64261960
that was a theory thrown around by one of the actors because no one knew his backstory or where he was getting his money
how the fuck would he have that info?
