Oh hi, teaser for Tommy Wiseau’s new project!
"The Room" director Tommy Wiseau continues to maintain that he intended all the weirdness that has made the film the vanguard of a new generation of midnight movies. Which makes me really curious to see what he does next. Will his follow-up be a "Room" ripoff? ("The Lounge," anyone?) Or will Wiseau try to chase the cult film audience he's built by actively recreating the idiosyncracies people loved about it?

Though it's listed on the site under "Funny Videos," the 24 second coming attraction isn't very funny. Take a look: On second thought, it is kind of hilarious that Wiseau's covered in blood, and the blood spells "blood" as if we might confuse it for...

On second thought, it is kind of hilarious that Wiseau’s covered in blood, and the blood spells “blood” as if we might confuse it for some other substance. And the title’s a suitably Wiseauian mouthful (though for my money, he should have gone farther and called it “The House That Drips Blood on Alex (Not to Be Confused With the House That Drips Blood on Walter)”). The video’s homepage on Atom says that attendees of Comic-Con will get the first look at the film on July 24th. I am jealous.
