Oh hi, Tommy Wiseau
I had an opportunity to 'meet' Tommy Wiseau over the weekend at a live screening here in Ottawa, Canada at the Mayfair theater. Meeting meaning getting my picture with him and asking him a question. I bet you can guess what I asked about!
ME: Hi. Have you heard of The Room Novelization?
TOMMY: What do you mean by that?
ME: It's...someone took the whole movie and turned it into a novel.
TOMMY: You know what people do all kinds of this stuff, keep in mind I have a book that is six-hundred pages. We are actually publishing this year or next year, we are working with publisher right now.
(CHEERS)
TOMMY: It's a gift! Oh, that's a good question actually. I don't know about it. I don't have time to read it all, some of this stuff. But let me inform you guys, a lot of this stuff are people using The Room for this and that, and you know it's fun to...it's a compliment for me. You know? Because this is my work. But speaking about The Room, keep in mind this is my...did I say fifty?...almost twenty years of my work. It's not like...people say 'oh happened by accident' you know? Remember guys, never happened by accident. Move on, next one.
