The Somewhat Ambitious

The Room.

There really isn’t anything I’ve been more obsessed with in recent years*. For those of you unfortunate enough to have no idea just what The Room is, here’s a trailer. Before you watch it, however, you should know these important facts:

- The slightly creepy guy in almost every shot – the one with long, lank black hair – is Tommy Wiseau.

- Tommy wrote and directed the film, and spent millions that he raised himself on it. He made an unfathomable amount of unquestionably batshit insane decisions throughout the production of the film, and if you’ve ever read an interview with him, you probably still haven’t recovered from how surreal his answers are.

- The film has more continuity errors than I’ve had hot meals. FYI, I have had sixteen billion hot meals.

Why am I talking about The Room so much? Well, this week (on Friday, in fact), i’m doing a phone interview with Tommy. At some point this week, I’m hoping Luke will do what he and I discussed a few days back, which essentially involves him putting on a black wig and throwing some creepy and tangential answers at me. Either way, it’s on. And it’ll probably get a bit sexy.
