I am seeing dozens of products flashed on the screen in movies
these days.  They didn't use to do that did they?
Romancing the Stone, which I liked, had eight different
products or companies show or used in conversation.
Remember the American express travellers checks or the Xerox machine.
How 'bout the truck with it's manufacturers name thrust through the screen
at you.  What kind of tires were on the truck?

In Red Dawn they loaded their pickup with cases of Coke to go fight 
the commies.  They ate Campbells soup to make them strong.

Is this paid advertising?  It really bugs me.

This is all in the movie and doesn't count that comercials for
national products are be forced on us before the movie.  I want to
see a movie, be told a story, NOT SEE ADVERTISEMENTS!!!!!
