Product Placement (I, Robot)

[DeimosSaturn]

Independence day and Men In Black are giant product placements for Scientology. He kills aliens in both of those movies. Jada Pinkett Smith is killing robots in the Matrix. Then Will is killing robots in this movie. Is that the ultimate secret of scientology? That it's not alien ghosts that inhabit our whole track, but rather, they are really ROBOTS!!!!

Why did you disable embedding? Do you have something against Cracked?

[Digilsd]

what? no, i love cracked! don't know how it got disabled.. anyway, fixed it.

[Coribec]

Thank you and I'm sorry, my questions seemed a bit presumptuous. Although, I debated as wether or not to call you a "fucker" so I'm glad I held some doubt about your intentions.

[MrMakesmoke]

was a good movie for product placement (as user said below). I reckon futuristic movies need product placement to make it more realistic

[Digilsd]

do you consider the "converse all-stars vintage 2004" to add to the overall futurism of this movie? i don't think it makes it more realistic in any way, it actually simplifies the future into being some kind of weird futureworld based on our current world, with a few technological advancements. that could be considered to be mere lack of imagination.

[heatsketch]

will smith is a whore

[rabbitwho]

what's wrong with product placement?

[Digilsd]

Well, thats a good question.. For the conscious viewer product placement is annoying at most.. For the unconscious viewer the trademarks and logos is imprinted into the mind of these, children are the best example.. They get accustomed to these corporations and start to want their products for reasons they can't explain.

It's not so much a problem with product placement as it is a problem with megacorporations and commercialism in general.. thats what i think.

sexi man

[georgethedrifter]

u hit the right spots where to put slow mos, music is amazing... 5*

[kangarookirby]

You forgot the blatant USR product placement. I swaer, it's almost as if USR paid to have the whole movie about their company.

:)

[Nnefit]

i ahve to buy these shoes

[nanawewe]

thats the AUDI RSQ!!!

[RealDefentertainment]

almost every major production film have product placement from more than 5 companies.

was it for a film/arts class?

[AI3LBJ]

slow motion gave it a five

[Fishstixj4l]

product placement in movies are revelutionary. not only does the producer get paid more for advritising a company's product, but it makes the movie more realistic, and helps the viewer understand the timescale.

[Digilsd]

well, each to his own, but personally i do not agree.. when facing the problems of modern day corporations i just can't make myself see product placement as something revolutionary. actually one could deem it to be the exact opposite

[RealDefentertainment]

let`s be more realistic.

Product placement=money being paid to the film which leads to a bigger budget and ends up to a great film(considering it have a good script/acting etc)

[Patcave]

I personally don't have a huge problem with it, as long as it's done tastefully without detracting from the integrity of the movie.

[Fishstixj4l]

This was a good movie to do a product placement project on, (kudos to Digilsd)

[Patcave]

Indeed, it was the screenplay that was really f'ed up.

[bjarkebech]

Tillykke, du er på Cracked :) Fedt projekt, hvad var dit emne?

[Digilsd]

Ja jeg har godt set det, kan ikke undgå at være lidt stolt :)

Mit projekt var sådan lidt... Forvirret. Det handlede delvist om reklamer og product placement, delvist om internettet og censur. Overemnet var magtforhold. Men trods manglen på sammenhængen mellem de to emner, gik jeg hjem med et 12 tal

[bjarkebech]

Cool! Tillykke med 12-tallet!

[gizigs]

I loved this movie, however the product placement didn't annoy me at all because it was not too "OMG LOOK AT THIS" except the shoes which were quiet overdone.

But the rest was okay and added to the atmosphere I think instead of being in a total "strange" world.

[KmegaDude]

lmao, I love the slow motion at the end

[sinniter]

love it!

[SashaNein]

Nice shoes.

[Thomsonicus]

EVERY car in this film was an audi. R8, TT, RS6, all just slightly modified

[gabman6]

oh my gosh that slow motion in the end with his smile gave this video a 5!!!!

[An823]

props for using DJ Shadow

[Laneous14]

very nice man. Fun fact: the book this 'movie' (ad) is based on is actually a philosophical series of short stories that deal with the idea of robots having souls. There is no Will Smith, no evil takeover, no matrix kung-fu and there sure as hell is no converse all-star shoes.

[LukaZaaa]

That cafe is advertizing Ovaltine!!!

[tasmendevil]

Well converses are the best shoes ever.

[jj50090]

he has a nice fcking car

[CaptainPoochie]

freeze it right on 40 seconds.

youl c wat i mean.

[MarquisdeBarrabas]

I don't get it.

[LEproductions098]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE IT IS SO COOL!!!!!

[kladenak]

and what about mv agusta?

[badi03]

I have to say it ruined the entire film for me. I already paid $8 to sit in a theater, watch 15 min of commercials b4 the movie, and then watch one loooooooooooooooooooong commercial that was the "movie".

[Yoshiarecool]

wow

But it still can't beat Mac and Me for most blatant product placement

Probably 2nd

[45jacky]

I think josey and the pussycats beat that one. Of course that was the joke of the movie.

[josswhedon692]

boy would issac asimov be proud to know that his magnum opus has been brought to cinema screens featuring will smith regarding converse all-stars as "a thing of beauty."

[gladeplugins]

The fact that Will Smith is in it alone would make him roll in his grave.

[aubreylear]

asimov wore vans

[perkozmen]

ofcourse I mean a song which is in the film, not in this video :P

[perkozmen]

I've got one question : what is a title of song which is playing by JVC when Will Smith is turning it on ? answer me! plz

[Digilsd]

Hey Perkozmen, it's Superstition by Stevie Wonder :)

[perkozmen]

thank you very much! ;-) you've got one biiig beer ! I love this song :-)

[perkozmen]

thank you very much! ;-) you've got one biiig beer ! I love this song :-)

[nichlsonstu]

read in a mad magazine all his movies have product placement and i was thinking "like what", now i realise heh.

[DANATANLOVER]

Wow, that's shameless.

[SLATania74]

And people wonder why I hate today's movies.

[OsTeBrQD]

haha bech :D

[og2203]

Nice video.
