The sad thing is, I don't think we'll ever get anything like The Room again. Tommy Wiseau is too self-aware now, and he knows how everyone sees him and his work. Even if he were to make another movie like The Room, it wouldn't be made with the same genuine passion he had. That magic is totally gone now.

Congrats to the interviewer for a great interview. Kept a good flow and good energy throughout. Smoothly avoided what could've been awkward interactions.
Best interview I've seen with Tommy this far.
Make a prequel where Tommy Wiseeau is recast to play his own father, and a new actor plays young Tommy. Then do a sequel where now older Wiseau wakes from a coma after dreaming the prequel.
Tommy Wiseau is a Genius. He made the Room as a Masterpiece. In 2016 a movie called Room was nominated for the Oscars and I seriously think Tommy has been snubbed for an Oscar. He should make a Sequel and I want him to win an Academy Award since he deserves it.
Jerrod: "Tommy Wiseau, thanks for being with us!" Tommy: "Oh hi, Jerrod!"
"lets move to your next question!" "wait, you are moving too fast!"
Tommy Wisau is the best person I ever seen and very good creator of the master piece the room

Best time to have an interview....during construction in the background. LOL!!!
Tommy is so sensitive and insecure, he's pissed over EVERYTHING told about him and his creations... it's sad to hear how the book hurt him and his friendship with Greg (and I believe Greg's version of the events 100%), I'm glad they are better now
YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LISA
Is it just me or is Tommy seems more and more... "normal"? I'm watching interviews with him, and he's more and more coherent, his accent is less and less thick... Before that, his every single sentence was pure gold, now I think I wouldn't notice anything suspicious not knowing who he is. Good for him I guess, but at the same time kinda sad that he's not the total, lovable weirdo he used to be.

Good day CineSnob, thank you for an excellent interview here. This was very enjoyable as well as insightful into Tommy Wiseau. It was refreshingly dignified and respectful in its overall vibe. My own wish is that Tommy can produce something completely new, somehow being left to his own creative vision and unique skill set and with the pure motive of making the best that he can achieve. Whatever comes out surely would compliment his past work in my humble opinion and entertain or captivate many, even if there were radical creative changes. This interview lends support to that notion. Thank you very much for sharing this. Please accept greets and best wishes for your channel from the Cape Of Good Hope peninsula SA
god, the neighbors is absolutely unwatchable, huge fan of the room but that's the truth.
Holy fuck, guys couldn't shoot this where construction isn't taking place. You guys are not even mic'd up properly. I can hear all the traffic in the background. How did you get the film maker genius Tommy Wiseau?

I honestly believe that pretty much everything about The Room was intentional and he is an eccentric genius, but its hard for most people to relate to the mind set he was coming from while making the film. What he probably didn't expect was how much everyone laughs at the film. I think it is more or less supposed to be an art house film

s others have said before, had Tommy dubbed the Room into Spanish, it would have been a serious hit in South American countries. It's pretty close to what they put out.
That is a Great Interviewer. Except for location.

I bet he had a successful business from wherever he came from, then in his... late 40s early 50s had a mid-life crisis, decided to become an actor, went to school, met Greg, made the room.

So Tommy's a regular actor who's been on stage. Here's my proposal for an ideal role: Blind Pew from "Treasure Island." Or the Porter from The Scottish Play.

The cast and crew dispute that. They believe that Tommy set out to make a serious drama and it was only until after the movie came out and people were making fun of it that he said "Oh yeah, it's a black comedy. It's SUPPOSED to be bad". Honestly, I believe them. I call "bullshit" that it was all intentional. No, it wasn't...lol. Tommy made a genuinely bad movie and decided to just roll with it.
Whatta daii....
The alien in Lisa's neck is now in Tommys cheeck
I think he is like order of the vampire or church if Satan our something lol kidding
I think Men in Black know something about him that we don't🤔
** He never answers a question straight ... the real money maker story would be (the real) from the time he is born biography of TOMMY WISEAU ... $$$$ Not this popcorn fart bs he is puttin up with. I dont think he understands thats what people are wanting.
For all the fans of The Room - watch this incredible remake: kzread.info/dash/bejne/l5iClKhqhsfLaag.html Probably, Tommy wish to make something like this.
