I recently came across a fictional film telling the secret story of a CCBill-like firm during the first decade of the mass-market commercial Internet. Danielle, Anoree and the folks at FTV might get a kick out of watching it! My own film tag line is: How the World Wide Web became the World Wide Wank!

The movie, released in 2009, is called Middle Men. It is basically an adventure/thriller film, but the first four minutes are darkly funny. Filmed in the beautiful southwest United States - including Phoenix! Find a copy of its trailer here. Enjoy.


In that trailer, look closely at the girls cheering in the background at 1:07. You might recognize a girl in a blue dress and one in white/turquoise/red.
