David Lynch on Product Placement

HA. Tell us how you REALLY feel.

Although DL's comment is not specifically about commercials, product placement is insidious.

When I look at all the useless crap I demanded as a small child because I saw TV commercials for them, I get disgusted: Wonder bread, Stripe toothpaste, PF Flyers, Bosco..., the list is endless. It was driven home recently when my five-year-old daughter asked my wife for Finding Nemo on Blu-Ray for Christmas. We don't even own a Blu-Ray player, so you know she heard it from the goddamned Disney Channel.

It's only shitty if it's unrelated to the story and given centre stage. I mean, if you watch Back to the Future, part 2 especially, it is packed with product placement - still a good movie. If the movie is good, putting commercials in there won't hurt it that much, but overall Lynch is correct. BULLSHIT!

You go dave, we need much more of this! No more rationalizations about how it's okay just because you can fool people or "creating need". BULLSHIT!

Thank you David Lynch. THANK YOU!

just say how it is why don't you! haha

What a legend!

Hurrah!

You lot be sensible...anyone who knows about film is well aware how important mise-en-scene is for a film....product placement for a filmmaker is like selling a piece of your soul.....

wcibbt i disagree with your comment but it is an interesting way of thinking...

Watch a movie from your youth like Ghostbusters with an eye for product placement. You will be fucking horrified about whats been shoved in your head.
