    I enjoyed it but can’t imagine revisiting.

    an aside: The Disaster Artist, the movie about its making, is notable just for the strange form of envy James Franco projects as a Hollywood insider wishing he could make outsider art / be an outsider like Wiseau. (otherwise not worth watching)

      It also skips over a lot of the negative behavior Tommy Wiseau exhibited both on and off the set

      The book itself shows Tommy to be a deeply troubled person, obsessed with fame and being liked
