4. I've seen The Room, but haven't seen the Disaster Artist yet.

I never got the feeling Wiseau was disabled or speech-impaired. He's Eastern European and English is his 2nd or 3rd language. He's a dopey, terrible ham-actor who somehow got his crappy movie made.

The Room contains strange scenes, like when him and his tuxedo-clad friends throw a football around, standing 3 feet apart or when the camera focuses on silverware over and over. Characters appear and disappear with no warning and some words, like fiancee don't appear to be in his vocabulary. The Room is a terrible movie, but Wiseau pulled if off, so that counts for something, I guess.
