And he's saying he hates that practice...so your comment doesn't address his post at all.

There's nothing wrong with product placement as long as it's not intrusive. I'd rather watch a character drink a Pepsi than drink Yes Brand Cola.

But it's when James Bond takes a really long look at his GPS even though his location is directly in front of him, or when characters who know nothing of the real world have a gaming center with X-Box proudly displayed on it, or when the characters suddenly start talking like they're in a commercial to pitch an item, that it gets distracting.

I hate it that 24 FPS causes camera pans to be choppy.

Agreed. A perfect example of product polacement that actually adds to the film is Minority Report. AN example of it not working is absically any Michael Bay film.
