Oh the Irony!
Does anyone else find it ironical that TV advertisers are cutting their advertisements while movie theatres are adding more and more shit commercials for 30 min before you get to see the “feature attraction”?

How long before they start putting commercials into the middle of movies? That’s when I’m going to be ticked off.
Don’t forget the anti-piracy commercial with Manny Perry, the stuntman.
Won’t somebody please think of the stuntmen!!
What about all the p0rn that is being pirated? Think of the poor fluffers!
MrAnonymouse: I’m sorry, but I thought that last James Bond movie did that (putting commercials in the middle of the movie). Or do you mean drive in style where they put an intermission in?

1: How about the overt product placement? That’s starting to drive me nuts. I like the Tarantino method (or at least what he used to do), everything is ‘Apple Brand’ or whatever noname brand he decided to make everything.
5: Hah, you beat me to the punch.
6: Tarantino’s movies are one long ad for the soundtracks.
Product placement, that was the word I was looking for. You see, I slept in my office last night. So my head is a little groggy.
Oh, and now they film movies with the billboards in the background covered in green. That way they can change the add on the billboard based on where the movie is being released.

Product placement is annoying, but you can’t do it for everything. I guess you could have some quip about Progressive Automotive Insurance after a scene with a car crash or something. Of course, there’s the Truman Show. A 24-7 show, you gotta do product placement.
I was thinking actual intermissions.
James Bond movies are one long product placement for MI5.
Or is it MI6? I can never remember.
MI6. What? They’re recruitment movies? That’s actually not a bad idea.
bond movies are also product placement for hot cars and the chicks that come with them.
