The Best Worst Movie of all Time

Writer/actor/director/producer Tommy Wiseau is like the George Clooney of bad movies. His most notable cinematic offering, The Room, has the mouth-to-sound inconsistency of Kung Fu Theater and the maudlin appeal of a Spanish soap opera. To say that it's my new obsession would be putting it lightly.

Wiseau supposedly shelled out $6 million to make the film, went through seven crews because people kept walking out on him, and wasted an immense amount of time, energy and money filming it in both HD and 35 mm (as in both units taped together) because he wasn't sure which one would work best. But it wasn't all for naught: The Room enjoys a cult-like following in L.A. with frequent midnight showings and a loyal fanbase.

I have attached the trailer below, and you can click here for the YouTube page with clips of the best scenes.

What I can't figure out is how he made the money to produce the film in the first place. How did that burn-victim-looking beefcake (who some believe is retarded...like, retarded retarded) get such deep pockets? I asked around and here are the theories I came up with: Russian mafia hitman, international sex trafficker and internet gambling bookie.
