The Disaster Artist, a Movie Based on a Book About the Best Worst Movie Ever Made

Many people might not be familiar with the name Tommy Wisseau, but those who are, both love and hate the man thanks to his beautiful disaster known simply as The Room. The movie defies description (but that didn’t stop Internet personalities such as The Nostalgia Critic and I Hate Everything from trying) and is widely considered a “so bad it’s good” film. A book that retells the making of The Room was written back in 2013 and won several awards. Now, reality has come full circle, as The Disaster Artist, a movie based on this very book, will grace movie theaters this December.

The trailer that was released yesterday focuses on James Franco’s (Spider-Man, This Is the EndThe X-Files) portrayal of Tommy Wisseau and his inability to remember the lines he wrote for the script. These lines are none other than the iconic, “I did not hit her. It’s not true. It’s bullshit. I did not hit her. I did ‘naaaht.’ Oh, hi Mark.” that are ingrained into the minds of everyone who has ever seen or heard of The Room. The trailer ends with Franco/Wisseau finally remembering the words and giving a performance emblematic of Wisseau’s “acting,” and the other actors/staff members on set do not know how to react. At first, they clearly think Franco/Wisseau’s delivery is the worst in movie history — even worse than those in Plan 9 from Outer Space or Troll 2 — but then the actors and staff members are overcome with the realization that Franco/Wisseau finally remembered his lines after what is implied to be several hours, so everyone celebrates.

In addition to James Franco, Dave Franco (21 Jump Street, Now You See Me, BoJack Horseman), Seth Rogen (This Is the EndThe InterviewSuperbad) and Zac Efron (BaywatchHigh School MusicalRobot Chicken) star in The Disaster Artist. Even Greg Sestero, co-author of the original book and one of the actors from The Room, will appear in The Disaster Artist.

Judging by the trailer, The Disaster Artist will be a fun movie. Even if the events portrayed are embellished, odds are audiences won’t be disappointed with the final product, especially if they have already seen or know about The Room.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
