'Google Me' movie joins the Jims

L.A. ex-aspiring actor and current massage business owner Jim Killeen is showing his feature length movie, "Google Me," for a limited time on YouTube.

Self-googling and the people it turns up has become a sort of cultural fascination in the last year or so, and Killeen's entertaining movie has probably taken it as far as it can go ... literally.

In search of his six googlegängers, Killeen traveled to Arizona, Colorado, New York, St. Louis, Scotland, Ireland and Australia. 

The motley crew of same-named men he finds is impressive--a priest, a cop, a gambler, an engineer and a swinger, and like a good documentarian, Killeen finds a way to relate to each one of his subjects (the swinger, not quite as much). 

What's in a name?

In some ways, it's just a placeholder--as nondescript as the person behind it is indescribable.  But when you see a roomful of men from around the world, all with the same name, laughing and enjoying the company of their new friends (a couple, as it turns out, are related), you have to think that technology, as alienating as it can sometimes be, is surely going to enable us to find plenty of strange new ways to connect.
