“No one inspired me, I inspired myself.” This is the proud proclamation of one Tommy Wiseau, the writer, director and star, really the entire brains behind The Room. Maybe you’ve heard about this cult film and the crazy things people do when they see it. Maybe you’ve heard someone quote the movie casually saying, “Oh. Hi, Mark.” Or perhaps you remember the billboard of The Room featuring only Tommy’s pensive and pained expression looking down upon the traffic on Highland Avenue just south of Hollywood. It was in Los Angeles, that this phenomenon was born when midnight screenings of the movie erupted in chaos… much of it planned.
