Russell do I have to teach you everything?
The headline for this post should be :WATCH THE FINAL TEN SECONDS OF LORDE ARRIVING AT AUCKLAND AIRPORT AND YOU WILL NEVER FEEL THE SAME AGAIN

You'd think all large media orgs would have permanent lip readers on staff for this sort of chicanery.

The paper cups can work but you need volume. It's okay for a one-off promotional tool but not as a regular gig like I required. 25,000 per week is tough. I didn't realise cafes paid to advertise their suppliers coffee. Always thought they were freebies and a reciprocal thing. Anyway, I know a lot more about coffee cups.
Merch. I've done it for stuff over the decades. Never made a dime. You have to have to patience of a Mr Vintage or reach a wide market like my buds at Mondo do.

Hard News: Asking for a Contribution, in reply to Heather Gaye,
I investigated this with the company that controls all the espresso cups in Oceania. You won't believe the system setup. Don't try and circumvent it but there's a very good reason why my Newspresso (weekly mini newspaper / gigs/ ads printed onto coffee cups and given to AK central cafes) idea never took off.
But if anyone's keen on it - I have it all written up and it'd suit a one-person business.
Since when did avid coffee snobs drink out of a mug? PA-branded espresso cups, please

Whatever happened to BONGO, KONGO or whatever the hell it was where our world was going to change via elegant and simple TXT payments. Why the hell can't I give PA some money that way.
PAYPAL are absolute pricks, especially if you get ripped off by a third party and attempt to get your money back.
If auto rollover subs scare people and sometimes they do - "damn I'm still paying for IMDB 5yrs after I thought it was cancelled!!" - sell branded coffee mugs for $30 that you get for $5. I think all PA readers are avid coffee snobs and would like a collectable mug each year.

Jose. I think you're Dead wrong. The fans are laughing at her acting/ character & not the real person. Just go see the show with Any Of the cast and crew present and then tell me the fans are being cruel.
THE RAPE OF LISA sounds like some new andrea dworkin text but let's take a breather here. This is all supposition from your liberal base where every woman in film is exploited. ; )

Martin. I'll read it when Im off my phone. My world may shatter!

Jose nice to be here! to tell you the truth I think reality may lie in between. The guy is a collossal narcissist but also affects childlike behavioural touches. Imagine a toddlers perspective about women in general !
I think if lisa was exploited then she certainly came off better than many who arrive off the bus from bumfuck Idaho and end up doing max hardcore features. It doesn't make it right but being adored by thousands around the world in a film everyone loves it's not that bad an outcome for a naive girl. Let's be real here. She agreed to the nude scenes after meeting Tommy. Say no more.
The comments from people about bad movies are simplistic. It's all very dependent on the film and the individual. Im not a fan of forced cult hipsterism at all

Jose I love your insight but it appears wildly divergent from the reality of the alien that is Tommy Wiseau. I think what you read as misogynistic is just a woefully inadequate attempt at dramatic human interaction.
If anything he's an overblown romantic with all the finesse of a histrionic steroided gnome. If this is the path you're going down then you should be concerned about all soap operas which is pretty much what THE ROOM actually is.
If a description of another actor being "straight off the bus" gets you concerned, I would say you should stop watching all mainstream cinema from Hollywood, where the casting couch is alive and well.
Tommy's bizarre innocence can be called many things, but labeling the guy a scheming pornographer in disguise is really stretching.
