Believe it or not, for Luke Wilson, this past year has been about more than just superior cell service and gravy bongs; he also made a movie.  It’s called Middle Men, it just got bought by Paramount for release next year, and it tells the true story of the guys who pioneered internet porn, a subject near and dear to my heart, boner, and past work experience.

Jack Harris [Wilson] has a faithful and loving wife, two beautiful children, and a successful career fixing problem companies. When an associate calls him about an opportunity to help turn around a business that has fallen into trouble, he decides to take the job. Little does he know, it is a decision that will change his life in ways he never expected. Jack meets with Wayne Beering [Giovanni Ribisi] and Buck Dolby [Gabriel Macht], two genius but troubled men who have invented a way to sell adult entertainment over the Internet. The plan was brilliant but the execution wasn’t — they were making money hand-over-fist and losing it just as fast. Seeing the potential, Jack agrees to partner with Buck and Wayne, devising a way to bill the entertainment through a third party, taking the guilt out of the ultimate guilty pleasure. Before he knows it, he finds himself caught between the Russian mob, a 23- year-old porn star, the FBI, and losing his family in the process of becoming rich. Witness a story so outrageous, you won’t believe it’s true. A story that proves business is a lot like sex…getting in is easy, pulling out is hard. [/Film]

Time out, getting in is easy?  If that were true, you wouldn’t be making a movie about internet porn, now would you. For that lazy metaphor, I’m gonna cover you with my chloroform hanky and take you on the snoozy train to rape town.
