What You Never Knew About "The Room"
When I was younger the movie kinda scared me. Looking back, it was probably the poster. Yeah, it was definitely the poster.
* "The Room" was directed, produced, written, and starred (gasp!) Tommy Wiseau.
* The film was made on a budget of 6 million dollars. Tommy made this possible by importing leather jackets to Korea.
* While most filmmakers just rent their cameras, Wiseau made the
* "Room" franchise started life in 2001 as a play. It was then turned into an unpublished, 500-page book, and was finally adapted into the lovably bizarre (or as The Nostalgia Critic eloquently said, "dick sauce") movie we all know in 2003.
* A billboard in Hollywood was one of the only means of advertising for the movie. It stayed up there for five years.
* Juliette Danielle, the lovely actress who portrays Lisa, was originally going to play Michelle (better known as the proud girlfriend of that "Me Underwear"guy). She filled in after several Lisas stepped down or were fired.
* As if Room wasn't weird enough, there was actually a scraped subplot where Johnny was a vampire who had a flying car. I have no comment.
* 6,000,000 dollars is apparently not enough to afford copyright to the words "fiancee" or "fiance". Tommy and Lisa are simply referred to as "future husband" and "future wife" throughout the film.
* It took over 30 takes to film the famous "Oh hi, Mark" scene.
* Photos depicting the controversial yet beautiful...... spoon, can be seen in the background in some scenes. This caused throwing plastics spoons in the air to be quite a popular occurrence during midnight screening of the movie.
The Room is a film about a wealthy banker Johnny (Tommy Wiseau) and his finac- ahem, future wife Lisa (Juliette Daniel) being caught it a love triangle with his best friend Mark (Greg Sestero). It is considered by many to be the worst film ever made. It also happens to be one of my favorites.

Forgotten Cereal Mascots-Tony The Tiger's Struggling Family
In the early 1950's. a contest was held to find a mascot for Kellog's then-new Sugar Frosted Flakes. Many inspirational catchphrase-spewing anthropomorphic animals entered, but only one could win.
After months of debating, a winner was finally chosen: an athletic, Italian-American tiger named Tony.
Soon, everyone came to know and love the wildcat.
Earlier version of Tony The Tiger
However, what even some of the hardcore fans don't know is he sells grrrrrreat frosted flakes to keep a roof under his family's ears.
Nah, who are we kidding, this 1976 commercial shows he clearly has an annoyingly perfect suburban family-y'know, just like the ones in every other advertisement.
After an increase of popularity, TTT decided to bring his kin to the public eye. Tony's most well-known relly is his son (far right), who was blessed with the super-original name of Tony Jr. Then, there's his wife, Mama/Mrs. Tony (between Tony and Junior). Finally, there's Antoinette, his daughter (the girl who's either wearing a wig or has absolutely horrifying tiger-human hybrid hair).
Tony Jr. even earned himself his own cereal:
He's smiling at how much shame he bought his father for becoming a cereal mascot rather than a lawyer or violinist.
Unfortunately, by the time the 1970's rolled by, Tony's children and spouse were mostly forgotten. Thankfully, breakfast mascot fans and vintage nerds have been able to dig up poor quality commercials to keep the legacy of the Tiger family going.
Also, we find the fact that Tony is a fully-grown father who inspires kids he barely knows as opposed to some sort of coach/imaginary friend of unspecific age a bit...........crrrrrrrreepy.
