REVIEW: 'WEINER' IS RIVETING FLY-ON-THE-WALL FILMMAKING

There are lots of fly-on-the-wall documentaries. But occasionally there's one that makes you want to ask the fly: Just HOW did you get onto that wall, and how did you manage to stay there?

I think I have an interesting idea . . .

We need to turn this movie into the conservative night out similar to the Rocky Horror Picture Show!

Dress up like your favorite character!

Wear a beard for Huma! Rock your best Carlos Danger! Even come disguised AS A WEINER!!!

Come up with your own lines to yell at the screen.

Bring your friends! Press your local movie theater to have midnight weekend viewings!

Bring your kids . . . make it a teachable moment!

There are some pieces of excrement even a fly wont land on

I want to see this. I think it might be very interesting, in a train-wreck sort of way. I’m particularly interested in the marital dynamic with Muslim Brotherhood plant Huma.

The author quotes the filmmaker as asking the Weiners (as the scandal hits its crescendo) why they’re letting him continue filming. Apparently he’s never seen Jerry Springer or Maury Povich - there are people who need attention so badly they don’t care how pathetic they look, as long as they get face time on the tube.

Weiner came to an independent theater near us yesterday & we went to see it. There were only 6 people in the theater. We thought it was good & it didn’t protect Anthony Weiner. It shows him running for mayor & how he had a lot of public support until the scandal blew up again with more sexts coming out. The guy had no shame.

Thanks. Maybe I’ll wait until it’s passed the first-run stage. With only 6 people in the theater, that shouldn’t be long! I do want to see it, though.
