One cannot help but notice the striking similarities in the artwork for Tommy Wiseau's The Room and Dont Look Back, the seminal documentary about folk-rock legend Bob Dylan. Is this merely a happy accident or is Wiseau, whose film came along nearly four decades after Dont Look Back, portraying himself to be an artistic force of the same magnitude?
As facts come to light, the likelihood that this is merely a coincidence seems less and less likely. What is sure to be great news for Dylan fans also proves itself to be a compelling piece of the puzzle in the story between these resonant images. A Special Edition of Dont Look Back, to be released on DVD and Blu-Ray, is re-packaged to include never-before-seen footage of seven unreleased Bob Dylan songs. Distinguishing ears may hear more than a few echoes of these nearly lost Dylan gems in the dialogue spoken in The Room. The seven never-before-heard Dylan songs are as follows:
Oh, Hi Mark
I Love You, Lisa
You're Tearing Me Apart, Lisa
Please Talk to Me Please.
She's a Sociopath (She Can't Love Anyone)
She's Such a Manipulative WITCH
I Definitely Have Breast Cancer
