[@Mandellav73]

Franco is an artist and Tommy is without a doubt a performance artist unlike any other, 100% unique. Franco admires artistry, the struggle, and taking the risk. Ultimately, Tommy made The Room for himself and his friend, Greg. That was the intended audience. That the rest of us like The Room or love to hate The Room or whatever feelings we get from The Room is icing on the cake for Tommy. James Franco realized this and made the movie to tell us this. It reminds me a lot of the recent career of Kevin Smith which I do not think is a mistake given the nature of this movie. Kevin Smith makes movies now for himself, his friends, and "his audience" and tries not to care about critics and people who don't get him. That still makes him a successful artist even though haters gonna hate--but what have they created?

[@dreamsprayanimation]

This is true. It seems like a lot of people, including the producers and celebrities in the movie really admire Tommy for this as well. He truly is a purer artist than mos who do things out of talent or mastery.

Jose Colella And that legend seems very likely. There is evidence of a man called Tomasz Wieczór/Wieczorek/Wieczorkowski (don't remember exactly) being born on Poznań around the time when our Tommy might've been born. Someone even tracked a Wieczor family in New Orleans, probably his aunt and uncle who he used to live with.

The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

I love how James Franco keeps slipping into Tommys accent when he's just talking casually

[@mbwhly]

He got so deep into that role that he’s now become him.

[@alvaroprego4393]

Yes. And James Franco is having a huge Ego making fun of him.

[@kohl4940]

Álvaro Prego I honestly get mad like he blatantly makes fun of him right in front of poor tommy

[@ethanp1348]

@@kohl4940 I feel it's all in good fun. I think it's clear that Franco has a certain respect for Tommy and makes fun of him in that way as a friend. As an actor, he's done his best to literally get inside Tommy's mind, so he probably knows him quite well and knows which buttons not to push. I haven't seen many of the interactions between the two, but from what I have seen, Tommy never seems to get upset with James.

[@MetalizedButt]

how would you know

I'm waiting for Tommy Wiseau to turn out to be one of Roger Smith's personas from American Dad.

Three quarters in, I thought it was just an actor doing a bloody terrible impression of Wiseau and then I realized that that was actually Tommy. Edit: Wow, thanks for all the likes. "If more people love each other, the world would be a much better place."

[@galarstar052]

he's so bad he can't even act himself properly. And that's why he's so great.

[@dinolenmunsamy7285]

[@Zygersaf]

I thought it was an actor until he did that laugh. That laugh I can never forget.

[@tigar007]

Man if my film is mocked and ridiculed my self-confidence would be shattered. But Tommy is so happy and enjoys spotlight. I need this level of selfconfidence! 😅

[@LizaLavolta]

"I'm not confused at all." He quipped back real quick with that. Nojimmy puts Tommy in the corner.

[@horseradish4046]

Tommy is now practically A-List status and has a successful film career, because he made a movie that was so bad it became Legendary

[@christopherwilliams9418]

It's kind of like when you manage to make a number go into the negative in an old video game, but because the system isn't designed for that it loops around and becomes an insanely high positive number. The last 15 years were just the system trying to figure out how to handle that negative number. :P

[@Dracosphinx2]

@@christopherwilliams9418 kinda like how Gahndi became the perpetrator of multiple nuclear holocausts.

They are friends now and you can see how much Franco has get into the character for the movie, is like that Franco now feels a lot close to him... In a strange way hahaha

[@tomb4250]

Yeah on top of that its with all good actors they always like watching other ppl behaviour so much as of constantly talking about themselves then when you have to play the person aswell it gets crazy.

Sarah what country are u from? just curious

[@OfficialAshArcher]

Tommy is actually a pretty cool guy. Must be hard dedicating yourself to something and people laughing at how bad it is… but then he’s taken it in his stride and joined in the fun and seen how much it makes people happy, even if it’s not how he intended it

[@sanate_sanghming]

Now we need Tommy Wiseau playing James Franco in a biopic movie 😂

[@mexikunt]

It is kind of a big deal that Tommy says he is originally from Europe. He has never said it before, just claimed he was from Louisiana.

[@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494]

I think he once said his family was from France but he moved to Louisiana as a kid...?

[@damnmuggle]

Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey born in Poland, moved to France then to USA

[@juanpijimenez9850]

he said it before. i read it somewhere

[@IamXhedo]

Didn't he also say he grew up in brooklyn?

[@miguelpow266]

This will change the course of history.

[@cazzhmir]

I know it doesn't seem like much, but this movie has brought Tommy the fame that he's always aspired to have. I bet after The Room did so poorly, he felt really depressed, and he felt he'd failed at his biggest life goals. It's like a dream come true for him finally, and I find it really touching.

[@SJNaka101]

Zach don't underestimate the cult following. The movie is still played to sold out audiences around the world, and it has even turned a profit despite it's insanely inflated budget. This movie is giving him some real spotlight, and that's awesome and what he's always wanted I'm sure, but I really don't think tommy sees himself as a failure. That's kinda just not how he is, and he isn't even a failure anyways. He may have failed his way into success, but ultimately that makes him a success, not a failure!

[@MrRobot01010]

Eddie Panedi tru truuu

[@GlobenTrote]

The Room turned Tommy into a millionaire if he wasn't already.

[@darthvader4720]

kthxbai Well he spent $6,000,000 on it so I assume he was a millionaire way before he decided to make the movie.

[@jonsalzman909]

You do know the room has been popular for 15 years? It did veey poorly initially but made a profit and continues to do so
