i just love movies. i also find the idea of empathizing with people who hurt you very fitting at this time in my life so, thanks greg!
Do yourself a favor, and listen (yes - DEFINITELY go for the audiobook) to this fascinating, true story of an eccentric man with a big dream. It is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking. And then, go treat yourself to the movie version with James Franco, so you can re-visit this sweet, beautiful little disaster.
You will appreciate this book much more if you've seen (and love - or can at least tolerate) the great American classic that is The Room.

Tommy is one of the most interesting goddamn humans ever to walk this earth.
Just about as insane and hilarious as you can imagine. If you're fascinated by "The Room" like I am, you need to read this.
The Room is one of Those Movies. When people talk about the worst movies of all time, it gets brought up along other venerable classics like Plan 9 From Outer Space. As bizarre and awful as The Room is, it pales in comparison with the story of Tommy Wiseau, the ambiguously foreign one time jeans wholesaler, who decided to brute force his way into becoming a Hollywood icon.
Greg Sestero had the enviable/unfortunate/definitely fascinating opportunity to be along for the ride as Tommy's reluctant best friend, and in this book he recounts his history with Tommy, and the bizarre story of how he made The Room.
It makes for absolutely fascinating reading, even if half the book is spent wondering just how and why everyone didn't run screaming for the hills.

Very good reading for fans of the movie and the strange mythos of Tommy Wiseau, but can occasionally get into way flowerier language than is necessary ("The deep cherry red of emergency," Jesus Christ)

Look, I'm surprised Greg wasn't murdered. If a middle age Cro-Magnon claiming to be 28 habitually lied to me, invited me to live at his apartment, did pullups at my bedroom doorway, freaked out at people asking for his ID, demanded apology chocolates, and sometimes read my mail...I'd consider it a miracle that in the end all he did was make a pretty bad movie, instead of my skin into a lampshade. Greg had more chutzpah than good sense being friends with Tommy, bless his heart.
