"Auto Focus on Starz huh, prolly just another piece of shit movie they've dug up for me and my extra money I pay"... then I looked at what the movie was about.

Greg Kinnear as Bob, Willem Dafoe as Charlie the video tech wizard... what could go wrong?

Super sweet guy starting out, not a Hollywood sleaze in the least, happily married with kids, a religious man... but even in his innocent days he had a fetish for girly mags, and that fetish only grows with time as his self fueling addicition/fame cycle went.

Then "Heroes" came along, opening all kinds of new doors, doors he shoudlnt have opened, but couldnt resist... it was his one vice.

He wasnt into drugs, wasnt a drunk... but he got drawn into a very sordid world of "sex, lies and videotape"... great, Great movie, Kinnear has all of the guy next door charm he needed and Dafoe is, well, perfect, as Charlie.

Not an unknown movie in the least. IIRC, it got some Oscar noms back in the day.
