Lizard Combatant posted:Welcome to the entertainment industry. Would you like a Subway with your iHop? (whatever the gently caress, that is) I'll be honest, this didn't bother me in Man of Steel. For anyone who has spent any time in the midwest, it really is mostly grain silos and chain businesses like IHOP and Subway. If Superman crash-landed off the NJ turnpike, maybe he and Zod would fight inside an independently-owned diner. But in Smallville, Kansas, it probably would be an IHOP, a 7/11, or a Subway. It's not like there's a scene where Superman orders a Grand Slam or something. That's what small town America looks like now, product placement or not. "Did you know, you can get a refill on any drink you want, and it's free!?!" "It's a wonderful restaurant!!"

The king of product placement will always be Demolition Man. I remember when I first saw Americans referencing the Taco Bell scene which I thought was odd because I could have sworn that it was a Pizza Hut. Turns out they were so dedicated to their craft that they filmed different product placement scenes for different markets.

I always liked Josie and the Pussycats, which was slammed by critics for having wall-to-wall product placement despite obviously being farcical, having a plot about advertisers putting subliminal messages in music, and not actually receiving any compensation from the companies featured/mocked.

Yeah, Josie was very blatant but the dig was subtle so they took criticism for it. On the other hand, Fight Club was absolutely pumped full of advertisements but it's appreciated more because the mocking isn't subtle. It's hard to go a few seconds in the movie without seeing a Starbucks cup.

Man, I feel really young here because I was taken to that movie when I was very young. I still remember the first song that they sang in it, and that the lead girl was really hot. But I forget the plot of the movie. Guess it's time to go find it.

It's been a while since I've seen Demolition Man, but I remember some completely obvious dubbing to replace Pizza Hut with Taco Bell or the other way around.

It definitely helped that the whole joke of the scene was that the actual food didn't match up with what the name suggested.

Radio Paranoia posted:Gleaming the Virtual Cube Haha, drat it, did you catch my post before I did the ninja edit on it? I originally put Gleaming the Cube in there, but that's more a crime thriller with skateboarding it, not a pure testament of how radical skateboarding is in feature film form. I don't like Wasteland because they could have chosen a better stock image for that. Instead, I'd want to call that movie poster Live Hard. I don't know why posters for fake movies are so great. I guess you can just envision the movie just by looking at the poster and make up whatever.

I've noticed some film titles recently that use that graphic design trick of making a few of the letters in the name a different color. It used to be done where the colored text spelled something, but now it doesn't. That bothers me for some reason. Insidious 2 does it, and I saw another one the other day.

I guess you mean this? It sort of makes sense in the context of the original film's advertising. I don't know if its relevant to the movie in any way but they did this strange INSIDIOUS IS, IS INSIDIOUS, INSIDIOUS IS INSIDIOUS (?) thing. You can see some of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kobMh8oABEM

I'm not even sure if they even used a digital overlay. The way the sign was constructed, it looks like it could be flipped to display either Taco Bell or Pizza Hut. Since it was an establishing shot, it could be done on a different take. But yeah, watching that scene again, that ADR dubbing is atrocious. Also, goddamn Sandra Bullock's falsetto. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpRzusd9Yi8
