Meet the meathead: "The Doorman"
Doormen—like abused pitbulls and parking inspectors, they wield a level of power that is, all too often, entirely unrelated to their level of intelligence.You can squeeze inside the tiny mind of the door 'tard in "The Doorman", a new Gigantic Pictures mockumentary based on the life and times of fictional doorman Trevor W., the most powerful clipboard holder and biggest ego in New York.
Until he loses his job, that is.
The movie stars the Borat-like Lucas Akoskin, with cameos by Peter Bogdanovitch, nightlife entrepreneur Amy Sacco and "Queer Eye" interior designer Thom Filicia, who sagely reminds the brashly-attired Trevor that "straight guys don't wear turquoise."
The Doorman premieres in New York City on July 18. Here for details.

Hah I love it! I used to work at a bar actually... where we were kind of known for having attitude, but you either loved us or you hated us ;) Good thing it's called "The Doorman" and not "The Bouncer" They hate being called that... probably b/c it sounds as mundane as they truly are. www.phreaked.wordpress.com
