Hate to see others succeed?!? I guess you didn't hear, Middle Men was a colossal failure.
If you gave a fuck about the adult industry and saw what Chris Mallick tried to portray the adult industry as, you would be glad few people saw his movie too.
I have to admit that I was certainly not expecting to see the (not in the movie) trailer which appeared on the Manwin network of tube sites, with "more traffic than God", prior to the release (and after the release) of Middle Men.
I actually thought that such 24/7 exposure on free (some would say, built upon stolen content) porn sites, would have people going to the theater in droves. I'm pretty sure that Chris Mallick (ePassporte) and Fabian Thylmann (Manwin) sure thought such marketing would produce a box office hit as well. Wrong (again)...
To be honest, I was surprised that with the talented cast, writers, and director whom worked on the project, that Middle Men sill turned out to be such a huge box office flop.
However, after paying to see the movie, what I was most disappointed with is that Mallick claimed that the movie was based upon a true story, and then proceeded to falsely imply (among other nefarious things) that his partners were involved with, and ultimately jailed for, their involvement in child porn (in addition to falsely suggesting that he had left the adult biz to reunite with his wife - since as we know, but I doubt that most people who viewed his movie are aware about, he never left the industry, and he and his wife divorced - so much for the happy Hollywood ending in his movie).
What kind of message does suggesting that the legit adult industry is involved with child porn send to mainstream audiences about our industry (assuming you are even in the industry)?
Chris Mallick should be ashamed of himself for trying to profit from perpetuating such negative stereotypes and lies about the adult industry which he has made a lucrative living off of.
Maybe if Chris Mallick wasn't so busy trying to be a Hollywood big shot with the money that he made from adult, and instead tended better to his ePassporte business, many in the adult industry who trusted him and ePassporte wouldn't be in the dire straits that they find themselves in at this present time.
If you viewed Middle Men and saw anything positive about the adult industry in it, please share it with us. The bottom line is that Chris Mallick tried to profit from a movie that denigrated the industry which made him rich.
Although I am not involved with ePassporte in any way whatsoever, I lost over $30k when iBill lied and screwed over the industry, and it took me awhile to recover, so I do not like to see others have to go through what I went through.
With all that said, I genuinely hope that this newest ePassporte disaster is resolved in a positive way for all of the honest hard-working people in this industry - I truly do like to see honest people succeed.
