| 1232919 | 2011-09-22 04:35:00 | It's a little ridiculous actually, filmakers will go out of their way NOT to promote a product unless they are payed for it. Have you ever noticed generic no-name products you've never heard of such as soft drinks on TV or the movies? If they have a product placement deal you will get a long clear shot of the logo or product name at some point strategically slipped in. Apple must be spending some money right now, I remember seeing a few Sony Vaio laptops on screen a couple years back also. |
