Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3594893, member: 833"] [B]The Disaster Artist (2017) [/B]- Just released on Netflix. It is about the making of Tommy Wiseau's bizarre cult favorite The Room, which is considered one of the greatest terrible movies ever made, and about his strange friendship with Greg Sestero, who stars in The Room and actually lived with Wiseau for a period of time. The movie is mostly told through Greg's viewpoint. I have never seen The Room, but I knew the story of the movie and Tommy Wiseau. The movie has a lot more warmth than I expected from the trailers. It was marketed almost as a parody, but is actually about the really strange friendship between Greg (played by Dave Franco) and Tommy (James Franco). James Franco won a Golden Globe, but was pulled from Oscar consideration because of a flurry of (probably accurate) MeToo accusations against him right before Oscar nominations. Dave Franco was technically the protagonist, and he should have gotten some awards love because he was excellent. James Franco held together a tough part, because his Wiseau could have turned into an impression very easily. Seth Rogan and Paul Scheer play the Script Supervisor and Cinematographer. Both are good, but Paul Scheer is hilarious, as usual. If I was producing a comedy, I would find a role for Scheer. [/QUOTE]
