I have to watch this for a media studies class :]

there are some examples, such as wayne's world,mystery men,etc, that actually are mocking this sort of thing. also, it is reality. like from do the right thing, do pizza places not look like that? this problem isn't going to go away. the trick is knowing what you do and don't need.

[Duvmasta]

Thomas Edison was autistic, and he invented movies, so an autistic person invented movies.

[Hudsucker94]

See, this is the whole debate. Sure, people use these products in real life, but the question is, do you use them cause you need them, or are you just buying into the bullshit? Are you that simple/weak minded? Like, are you gonna buy the ray bans cause he wears em in top gun, or do you like ray bands? Get what I'm saying?

[Whatisright]

i don't see the problem. theres ads eveywhere in real life even trash on the street like a can has a logo on. to mention specific products in a movie is as real as things can get. unless theres a commercial in the middle of the movie who cares? i didnt even notice the guy said coke can in the movie independence day. who the hell pays attention to shit like that, oh he said coke can. makes me want a sprite

[egnarbutterlump]

i don't want to live in a society where people are okay with being told how to think

[Hudsucker94]

you don't. it's not always what it seems.

[CrowsTurnOff]

Honestly, though, you HAVE to include real products in your movies. If you have nothing but made-up stuff, it really detaches the movie from reality and can be distracting.

Obviously, saying Budweiser 60 times in Fallen is ridiculous and blatant. But, it's not ridiculous for someone to ask for Tylenol, or tell someone to look at the Coke can, or to see a Coca-Cola billboard (even in the future).

[SAButterbrot]

Wrong. Quentin Tarantino is famous for his use of Red Apple Cigarettes and other purely fictional brands.

On the other hand, his movies ARE really detached from reality though, so I'll give you that :)

[H3nrix]

Well... His McDonald's "Royale with cheese" speech is a classic. And "No, I didn't go to Burger King".

This very claim is addressed in the second video. The colonization of time is particularly bothersome.

[stuffums]

Good video. It was annoying in Casino Royale when some of the shots blatantly showed "SONY VAIO" as well as that part where they show the obvious blu ray player. Then again that was a UK movie and not hollywood.

[CrowsTurnOff]

It is completely a Hollywood movie.

[stuffums]

New zealand director, european cast, european filming location. Only the purchasing studio is US-based and a couple of the writers.

Send me an email because I'm at work now so the document is at home. Message me through here and remind me and i'll send it to you when I get home.

[hotguye1]

Thank you for this! I decided to do my homework assignment based on this. It was a position paper and it turned out great. A lot of the classmates and I discussed this stuff.

[teixeraf]

Great! Can send me the material (homework) to me? I would like to see it.

Do your homework project on the Illuminati in media, and the influence of Alistair Crowley.
