I agree with iSm when it comes to real world products in film. BRAND X takes me out of the movie as much as "my phone number is 555-5555".

The 555 thing is annoying, but I understand why they do it. Brand X doesn't bother me, though. In fact, I prefer it. Any mention of a real product or any visual ad in a film takes me out of the reality that the film is trying to sell us. It's like McDonald's in Disneyland. Annoying.

Like most things in life, it depends on how it's done. The FedEx placement in Castaway made it a better movie. Looking for the travelocity roaming gnome in the amazing race is a distration.
