I don't remember if I said this, but I am disappointed about the product placement. They just started doing it with Casino. Mainly Sony. The erikkson phone, the viao laptops. I realize they need these but its disappointing to see.

I suppose you don't know how shit gets paid for in the Movie Business? Or marketing in general? It's in all forms of Movies or else they wouldn't be able to pay their bills to their employees. Also how real would it be if there were no real life products instead all pseudo products?

WTF do you call all the cars? That's product placement in itself. The watches? All of those things.

via wiki
The title was chosen from a 1960 short story in Ian Fleming's For Your Eyes Only, though the film does not contain any elements of the original story.

-Seiko
-Montblanc

I miss my Q gadgets :wtc:


I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others. I wanted to see cooler cars and larger guns.
