Selene and I remarked on this as well. Product placement, combined with pre-film advertising is just about on my last nerve. Strangely, I don't mind it as much on network television, where it has also taken a strong upswing.

Network TV has to find a way to enhance revenues in order to survive, and product placement is a surefire way to do that. Films, though, are something we are already paying to see. I don't actually mind the pre-show advertising as much as I do the in-movie product placement, because production companies and distributors of films make the vast lion's share of the price of admission, leaving the theaters themselves to find ways to making a living in more creative fashion.

Entertainment media, in general, is in a vast stake of flux right now on all levels. It is an interesting time to be alive if you are a movie fan.

Just for you Bri, I'll write in a whishpy Scottish accent....

Are they Craig's own pecs I wondered....

Craig Ferguson is heeelarious when he imitates Sean Connery.

OMG...I forgot to mention the biggest change in the new Bond film style...

...no naked women in silhouette behind the opening titles. *That* change I do not care for. I want my naked women back, damn it!

Ah! sorry so long! He's dating Colleen Sullivan, formerly of channel two, dayton.

Craig looks fine for this new bond film. He did hes best and was great!
Looking forward for another action movie Outlaw by Sean Bean.
