Prodcut Placement in Eagle Eye

I recently saw the new movie Eagle Eye. It was a great movie with a lot of action and always kept you on your toes, but there was one problem.......prodcut placement. I don't know if I really noticed product placement before this year, but since I have learned about it I fell like I see it everywhere. The one part of the movie that really drove me crazy was when Shia Labeouf's charactor is told by the women on the phone to get into a car. But she didn't just say get in to the black car on the left. No she said Porsche Cayenne. And goes on to say the full name two or three more times. It really took me out of the movie and kind of made me laugh. Its interesting now how much more I notice these kinds of products in movies.

Great observation. You might find this interesting. I thought your discussion of Porsche Cayenne would be a great addition to their comments.

I remember in the Sopranos when Carmela was flaunting her new car..."It's a Cayenne...like the peppah." It was eventually sold for charity.

Yes, this is so true and have seen it in many movies lately. I think the movie was great but it's funny how they repeat the word several times during that one scene.
