As you may or may not know 2003 saw the release of what is in all probability the worst film ever made in the history of everything and what you also may or may not know is that last week the internet reviewer known as The Nostalga Critic posted a video on the film. Over the last 2 years the Nostalgia Critic has featured many bad films on his show, the majority of which belong to major film studios, and has never had any trouble when he used film footage in his videos. That is until now. Tommy Wiseau has ordered for the video (and one other video review of his film) to be removed from the site stating copyright infringement. It gets better, even though NC criticises and parodies the film throughout the review he ends by telling people to go out and watch the film, either by going to one of the many midnight screenings or by buying the DVD. He tells people to give Tommy Wiseau money!
I was actually seriously considering buying this film to experience it for myself but after this fiasco I can't bring myself to do it. So I ask you, the people of the internet, to boycott Tommy Wiseau and his terrible acting/writing/directing/producing and visit instead www.thatguywiththeglasses.com .
p.s. for a great take on this whole situation go to thecinemasnob.com.
