Lol, sorry. I did find it funny, then my brain decided to overthink it!

Speaking of Lynch, I happened to run across this long New Yorker article from 1999 that describes the process of the pilot for “Mulholland Drive” getting made but eventually not picked up by ABC. The story obviously ends before the pilot gets turned into the film it became. Crazy to read in light of its stature today. Lynch: “I’m one depressed cowboy.” https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1999/09/06/creative-differences

I tend to agree. I'm all for it when it's clever. I just found this funny.

If done correctly I have no issue with product placement, in some cases it can even enhance a film, for example Wilson in Castaway, The Mini Coopers in The Italian Job, or even Classic supercars in James Bond such as the Aston Martin DB5. Also it can be put to great use in Satire as per The Truman Show. Many films have benefitted from the extra funding that the placement provides. But of course it is not always done correctly and a poorly done placement can take you right out of a film at times. The absolute worst though is retroactive product placement - the very notion of adding placed products into classic films distorts the original artistic integrity, absolutely shocking - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56758376

This coming from the man who came up with the best endorsement for Pabst Blue Ribbon.

I love this man. There's this one 8 minute compilation that I always watch when it pops up in my recommended. It's a delightful video: https://youtu.be/TqZpi8zAqe0
