... don't exactly know much other than he's going all out, dressing up like him, being him, indulging in all his grandiose and pompous pre-production hype quotes about how he's "going to be the next marlon brando".. and it's movie, again, not a documentary, a movie about the making of the cult classic, the cult classic the room.

i dunno if franco has the chops and emotion to really pull the "YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LISA" lines.

I actually would be interested in seeing this movie. I think James Franco is good in the movies I've seen. I also like his brother. Is his name Dave? He was good in the Jump Street movies and Neighbors.

Having said that, I'd rather listen to Papa Roach than GG Allin

Tommy Wisseau is probably the worst casting choice for Tommy Wisseau.
Signature get.

Yeah, Wiseau was funny when it was 20 of us laughing at him in a theater, then funny when he blew up nationally for like a week, and now it's unbearable.

Regardless, Franco is a good choice somehow.

No way, man. He would overact himself. It'd be great.

Anna Karina

Nah, after he tried to get "in" on his jokes is when things turned awful.

My friend has Tommy's phone number somehow. We called it and one person was telling him about how much he loved The Room. Tommy was not enthused.

kinda weird how the earth continues to spin on its axis and everything eventually dies even when you don't want it to dang
