Cover Art for The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made

Fans of the crazy cult film phenomenon The Room often have dozens of unanswered questions. Our very first podcast featured Tommy Wiseau himself, and an interesting Q&A. I had a chance to interview Tommy and his co-star Greg Sestero. During Greg's interview, he mentioned writing a book about his experiences on The Room. Almost three years later, we'll be able to have that very book, The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made, in our hands or on our Kindles.

Details are few at this point, but preorders are available here: Order The Disaster Artist at Amazon.com! The book has an official release date of October 1, 2013. While you wait, enjoy my interview with Greg!

Book Review: Garbage Pail Kids (2012, Topps)

When I was a kid, there was a huge toy craze that I still don't understand. Before people trampled each other for a Tickle Me Elmo, parents clamored for Cabbage Patch Kids. They were extremely popular, and I never knew why. My mom bought one for each of us, and I don't remember any of us asking for one. I certainly never would have. I was always too busy with my Star Wars toys. One thing I did love as a kid, however, was parody. It started with "Weird" Al Yankovic and Saturday Night Live, and it continued with the arrival of Topps' Garbage Pail Kids. They took the kids from the cabbage patch and dropped them in a landfill. My friends and I were all extremely delighted.

What's Your Favorite Indie Shop or Theater?

Recently, I think we hit on a theme here at the Cheese. I decided to write about the end of the video store. It seemed appropriate, as I have seen many Blockbuster locations preparing to shut down in the wake of Netflix and Redbox. I remember the mom and pop places doing the same when big blue came to town.

After that, Lacey Paige let us know about a few survivors up in Canada. Our readers have been all over our articles, especially Lacey's, and that made me think.

Cinema Head Cheese is an independent voice. David, Jeff and I put this together ourselves, and then we were joined by other independent thinkers. Hal Astell, James DePaulo and Lacey all have their own independent sites. Ron Ford makes indie films. They and the rest of the crew give us their time and talent, and we appreciate it.

We three founders are no strangers to the independent game. Between us we have a few books, several comic book series, a comedy album, blogs, trailer compilations, two radio shows, a podcast and a stack of movies ranging from horror to thriller to comedy. We know how hard it can be to make things work.

With that being said, I'm building a new Directory page on the website. I'd like to showcase the places we all love to visit, and I'd like your help. If you know about a great independent video store, book store, comic book store or grindhouse theater, please email us at cinemaheadcheese@yahoo.com. Put "Directory Addition" in the subject line.

Please send the following information:
Store name
Street address
Phone number
Website
Type of business

Listings will be alphabetical by state in the US, by province in Canada, and by country for the rest of the world.

Brain Farts: Now $5 Off!

It's like that book you read when you were a kid. You know, the one with Grover in it. I think it was called, The Monster at the End of This Book. Remember it? With every page you keep thinking, "I know it's just going to be Grover at the end, but it might be Cookie Monster or Harry Monster or even Telly! Oh, do I hope it's Telly!" Well, guess what? It's just stupid Grover! With every page they dupe you into reading on and on. That's kinda what this is going to be like. By the end you'll think to yourself, "That son of a gun! He sucked me in!" That's kinda what I hope happens in this collection of essays, blogs and letters.

Buy Brain Farts now and save $5!

This is a deal among deals. Many months of blood, sweat and keystrokes went into my first book, and I am very proud of it. I think it's the best piece of entertainment that I've ever produced. If you like Cinema Head Cheese, which you know you do, pick up a copy or two. Stuff one in a stocking, slide one under the menorah and do whatever you do for Kwanzaa. Whatever you do, just buy it and enjoy. It's a great way to support us and our site.
