Billyboy – I am waging a one man war against BMW prejudices. I let people out at junctions and everything.

Oli – thought you’d like that.

MooMoo – I am still hot and steamy, honest. I need it for my job!

The Girl – how much does it raise? Say compared to a cinema takings?

z – I’m sure someone took the decision on Venice based on some financial business case.

heather – I never said I didn’t enjoy the film, I just think the placements are getting ridiculous now.

JD – Where is this list?

Betty – You mean you don’t know??

La Cubana Gringa – Don’t all of us men do that anyway?

Drunk punk – Nice use of subliminal messaging.

ella – The Bond girls were particularly good this time too I thought.

Dan – You are right!! I need to hire an editor. I am sorry.

Will King – Any danger of a few freebies then Will?

DK – You know, I’ve never once read any of the books. Which one does he drive the Mondeo in?

It has to be said though, that there is almost as much product placement in the original Bond books…

Sorry, did you use that appallingly bastardised American phrase “could care less”? Please think about it, it doesn’t make sense. You really mean “couldn’t care less”. That makes sense.

Thank you.

as I sit here typing on my LOGITECH keypad drinking my BUDWEISER PREMIUM BEER and smoking a MAYFAIR KINGSIZE CIGARETTE whilst listening to the vinyl LP “CROSSING THE RED SEA WITH THE ADVERTS” I can honestly say I never notice product placement. Wasted on me. Me nan sent me to the offy once as a kid and I asked for some LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE. Set up by me nan. Disgraceful behaviour.

Next thing you know, just before ’shagging a bird’, Bond’ll reach for a Trojan Condom and proudly say “Because I’m feeling like a Trojan man!!” Then, in a whisper, “Pleasure I want, protection I trust.” [Cue bird swooning.]

I wonder if Bond uses Durex?

I loved the movie but agree, bond in a mondeo WTF!!

Also, there was almost the entire range of Sony Ericsson Mobile Phones, Sunseeker Boats, Sony Vaio Laptops, Sony CyberShot Cameras, a range rover that got crashed into, the watch and even the might google got in on the act!

I looked at the sponsors list and it was huge!

I’m understand the odd bit of product placement, but as mentioned before when it has fuck all to do with the story line (i.e. mondeo), it really becomes embarrassing.

I’ll finish on a positive tho, it was a great film!

Bond driving a Ford Focus was quite funny.
Thought the rest were ok, didn’t think they overplayed it.

The film was fantastic anyway, and Daniel Craig what a man.

I am mortified to say that advertisements are wasted on my, especially product placements, as I simply don’t notice them. My son, with whom I saw the film, observed that it was a *funny thing* that all the phones were the same, but even then I didn’t notice the brand.

It made me want to revisit Venice, though. I wonder if the Venetian Tourist Board paid too.

You’d be surprised just how much money comes from product placement in films and TV. It’s a sad fact, but our industry – that being anything British – is quite dependent on it. And if we’re not taking corporate dosh with which to make films, we’re on our knees begging the Americans for handouts and thus compromising the content of the movies to satisfy their market/financiers. So which is the worst of the two evils, I ask you?

The UK film industry is fucked. We need serious investment and tax rebates here, or else we’ll be sucking the corporate U.S. cock for a long time.

I was with you right up until you said ‘BMW 3 series Coupe’

Now you’ve totally spoilt the steamy-hot image I had of you….. I could cry

Film makers are out of touch with the products they place in Films.
Why would anyone allow BMW near somebody cool like Bond.

When did anyone ever smile at a BMW driver?

Is it a coincidinece the the words Bad mannered Wanker acurately describe those who drive them?

To be fair, Girl with a one track mind is an exception, as she was in the the film inustry and was in touch with lots of people.
