I'm quoting the "best-worst" film, "The Room".
It also sums up my frustration in regards to my attempt to reach and get a response from Mr. Tommy Wiseau, Re: my Library of Congress/WGA copywritten script, "The Room Pt.II- Johnny Back From The Grave!".
Revisiting characters, lines and situations, it's not a "best worst" film, but a fan-fiction, situationally comedic, master-disaster-piece built for maximum laughs, right away, through to the very end (which is not an end, for it is geared to bring a Room Part III), while also accentuated with elements of "Evil Dead."
Friends have read the script, who've never even seen The Room, and said it's the most hilarious thing they've ever read.
Imagine how funny it would be for those who are already fans, familiar with The Room, as well as The Room audience experience?
I truly think this film would bring a renaissance to the theater experience, and be so popular, that it would play in mulltiple theaters, simultaneosly.
If the human source of the greatest amount of laughter would determine who's the biggest star in Hollywood, it would be ol' Tommy.
Why am I fed up with this world? I've already had someone associated with Stage32, who reads 2 Page Pitches, review my 100 pages, tell me, but not until after I paid him $2.50 per page to read it, that he has no better means of reaching him than I do.
Also, I was given bogus info from the Westwood theatre that Tommy would be there, during the last time The Room was playing before a wild audience.
When I got there, with my script in hand, the concession guy said Tommy rarely shows up, and when he does, it's unannounced. Fed up with this world, am I.
For reasons I will explain, I need this, although who cares about me, except me and a few people?
Ok, I don't "need", but, yes, I do, just the same as we all do,
Yes, I will explain in a minute.
Tommy is gonna need this, dare I say. He's currently caught up in a counter law suit against Room Full of Spoons, the documentary team, which already won a $750,000.00 judgement against Wiseau.
Wiseau immediately countersued. In my opinion, he's gonna need a lot more money to pay them before it's all said and done.
But most of all, we all need this, especially in these times we are living in, but I won't get into a diatribe on that. .
We need to laugh so hard, we cry, convulse, possibly keel over, and run out of the theatre in order to breathe, before we enter the theater again... And we would have to go see the movie again, to see what we've missed, but we were destined to do that again and again and again, regardless, because the euphoria we experience demands it... So funny is it, that there should be a sign before entering the theater, which reads, "Do not enter if you have a medical condition, because you may die laughing", literally!
We need this. I need this.Tommy needs this. Who doesn't "need" this?
Anyone who actually knew the contents of this script, I'm confident would agree. You are free to assume I'm delusional. That's fine.
"Why pursue this when you don't even have intellectual property rights over it?
Because, it's the most hilarious script ever read, according to certain people who have never even seen The Room!
"Why are you pursuing this when Tommy is a known challenge to deal with?
Because, it's the most hilarious script ever read, according to certain people who have never even seen The Room!
Anyway, if anyone can help me reach Tommy, and this actually manifests, I swear you will be, in some way, a part of this project, in as much as I can help you to be part of it... as well as compensated, of course.
Thanks for your time and attention. And if you have any help or prayers, I'll take them.

"Oh, Hi Mark!"
I definitely think there are intellectual property rights issues you are up against, but maybe another creative way around it would be for you to create a social media account with various snippits of the comedy in your script that might capture the attention of Wiseau?
Thanks for responding. I have no IP rights on The Room, of course. What do you think snippets of the script should consist of? Written script excerpts that people can read, or performed excerpts people can see? I have no problem walking the talk regarding how funny this script is. I'm on hiatus from writing for several reasons, including a frustration beyond this wordsmith's ability to articulate.
