Yes, your point seems to be that showing the real world as it is, chock full of logos everywhere, is a bother to you. That's fine.
Many other people, me included, say it conveys a sense of reality, and can serve as a shorthand of visual communication which is appropriate for a visual art form. Round and round, and this is where I get off.
I'm not gonna top my post about The Louvre. I wish I could have kept the light touch, and I apologize for getting touchy. But The DaVinci Code could have used a lot less talk. I'm really glad they didn't bother to take even four lines to explain some made-up museum with the great art works of history and a painting that was somehow the most famous work of art on an entire planet.
I'm just gonna leave it at that, and hope the thread veers back to musing about other movies. I have no intentions of singing any more praises about freaking Cast Away. The tangent about product placement vs. filmic reality was very interesting. I've got nothing more to say about either subject.
Hopefully, some people will be curious enough about the FedEx controversy to screen Cast Away, and they'll either love it or hate it.
