Oct 19, 2011 - I wouldn't say the scene with Apple should be any kind of good PR

Dec 4, 2011 - 1 Product Placement is Subtle but too many MIGHT Make Seltzer & Friegburg Blush.

Dec 7, 2011 - Lol, thanks for that. Unfortunately I had no such realisation nor care for the product placement. But I do love this movie! It's a fascinating story, and the actors put it down well. And yes, this should be properly serialised in a 1970's crude fashion. And yes... everyday I see those companies and logo's. I don't own any, but they're stil just normal to see, so they don't feel like "placement" to me. The only unusual thing is... why MSN search, not Google. I suppose that's placement.

Dec 12, 2011 - Also, the companies need to spend their money on something anyway. Granted, it would be better if they spent their money on actually helping people, but in the long it employs people which is always a good thing.

Mar 20, 2012 - I don't think those Adidas were the result of "product placement"... I think the guy just happened to be wearing Adidas. Especially when you consider the Puma deal, which was definitely orchestrated. Like commenters below, I believe Product Placement sucks only when it feels inauthentic, and the eye is obviously being drawn to a logo (e.g. the Puma). That's when I feel like I am being taken advantage of as a moviegoer.

alleycatalog Says:

Apr 22, 2012 - that movie sucked for other reasons too.

krizan1 Says:

May 25, 2012 - I just watched a video that stated 'The Island' had 35 companies with product placement. Woah, just goes to show how "UNAFFECTED I AM" by product placement cos off the top of my head I could name """"1"""" and that is the Puma shoes and the words "product placement" never even entered my head. Well, it NEVER does and i'm rather proud of that. Knowing that product placing in movies just like adverts don't make me wanna buy those products. :)

May 26, 2012 - Oh for the days when people like John Carpenter would make a movie for thirty thousand dollars, and it would be the best god damned movie you'd ever seen...
