The Room's Maaaaahrk (aka Greg Sestero) is from the Bay

 

If you havent seen The Room, stop reading this blog and go see it. I'm serious. It is the best worst movie you will ever see, according primarily to me and some other easily amused people, and it has garnered somewhat of a cult following. There are midnight screenings and people throw spoons at the screen because for no logical reason there are lots of shots of framed spoons in the movie. There is painfully awkward dialogue, people who show up randomly never to be seen again, and basically nothing makes sense. It's like my life. If you've already seen it, you know Mark. (OH HAAAIIII MARK). turns out he's from the east bay 'burbs! He grew up one town away from me, if I was nine years older. Right now he's got a pretty successful modeling career (when I talked to him he was in Capri), and he's really good-natured in starring in such a steaming pile of doodoo. AND HE'S PROOF YOU CAN STILL DO AMAZINGLY LAME AWESOME THINGS IF YOU GROW UP IN THE EAST BAY.

I really just wanted an excuse to post about the room.

I remember seeing that come on Adult Swim late at night and wondering "WTF is this? A joke or what?"

you obviously missed the q & a he did a couple months ago.

I sure did! and at that point I hadn't had an e-mail conversation with him! and I didn't know he went to high school in danville! a few months ago i hadn't even SEEN the room, and I don't want anyone else who might currently have that big void in their life to go about their day without knowing what a spectacular piece of modern cinema they were missing!!! i'm so happy that you're one less person I have to notify!! AND I LOVE EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!

Um, which high school did Mark go to in Danville? (I swear my eyes didn't pop out when I read that...)

monte vista. he's 31 now, so you do the math to figure out when he graduated because i'm too lazy....i think it's '97.
