Oscars

Oscar for product placement

When asked about the miraculous amount of commercial props in "Casino Royale," new Bond Daniel Craig told the press, "The fact is, we couldn't afford make the movie unless we had that product placement. It's there and we're very grateful that it's there because otherwise the film couldn't be what it is." He added: "If I think it's too much then I will push it out of the way, but I don't think it really infringes." What do you think? We loved "Casino Royale," but the relentless plugs -- for Gordon's gin, a certain watch-that's-not-Rolex, Richard Branson and Sony, Sony, Sony -- had us as slack-jawed as that amazing opening chase sequence.
