Isn't that the joke in The Disaster Artist when Tommy buys the gear instead of renting it? The implication being that one does not simply buy movie-making gear. (And the secondary implication being, "where the fuck does Tommy get all this money?") Not that I know the first thing about making a movie.
Speaking of that movie, I can recommend anyone who is familiar with The Room, but who hasn’t seen The Room, to watch the movie The Disaster Artist (2017) instead. I’ve only watched the latter and not The Room itself but watching the latter instead was a nice experience.

The Disaster Artist is based on the book "The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made" by Greg Sestero, and it’s got James Franco portraying Tommy.
Oooo! Depending on your taste you're in for either a very boring movie or the experience of a lifetime. Complete with an associated rabbit hole of mystery surrounding the director: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Room
If you do end up watching and liking it, there is book and a film about the filming of the film to enjoy :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Disaster_Artist
