elie 's review for:
The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made
by Greg Sestero, Tom Bissell
The Room has been a major part of me and my husband's lives for many years. We quote it on a regular basis, mainly "I'm fed up with this whorld," "you are tearing me apahrt, Lisa!" and "keep the change." This book just made the movie even better, and I loved every single second of it - the book, I mean, not the movie. I laughed continuously and read several parts aloud to my husband.
The book jumps between two time frames: Greg trying to make a career out of acting while getting to know Tommy, and the making of the movie. I am in absolute awe of the human (?) that is Tommy Wiseau, and I now have a greater appreciation (is that the right word? Probably not) of the movie and the man behind it. The ridiculousness went above and beyond what I was expecting, which was only helped by the fabulous and snarky writing.
If you haven't seen The Room, watch it immediately and then read this book. And then re-watch the movie to fully appreciate it. And then watch it with Riff-Trax a few times.
