The Disaster Artist: My Life inside 'The Room', the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made

I'm so glad Mark didn't leave his stupid comments in his pocket wibblywobbly Greg Sestero has done something fantastic.

Written with award-winning journalist Tom Bissell, The Disaster Artist is an inspiring tour de force, an open-hearted portrait of an enigmatic man who will improbably capture your heart.. Nineteen-year-old Greg Sestero met Tommy Wiseau at an acting school in San Francisco. Wiseau spent $6 million of his own money on his film, but despite the efforts of the disbelieving (and frequently fired) crew and embarrassed (and frequently fired) actors, the movie made no sense. One reviewer said that watching The Room was like "getting stabbed in the head". Nevertheless, Wiseau rented a Hollywood billboard featuring his alarming headshot and staged a red carpet premiere.
