    And so the corporate branding on this movie was nuts! *OT*

    The corporate branding was just nuts in this movie. I can name a few DISTINCT brands that they made sure that they focused on. I saw this movie at the $1 theatre on Saturday. Movie: The Town:

    1) Ford - Lots of ford crown vics - logos clear as day
    2) Chrysler - the RAM logo on the Dodge caravan AND The Jeeps used. Also saw a 300c as well
    3) Panasonic: CF-52 shown TWICE in the scene where they are talking about who are the possible suspects.
    4) Dell: They showed a Dell fully rugged as well
    5) Glock - they used SO MANY Glocks...

    It was an okay movie. Very predictable. and in my opinion, a bad ending...

    The cops in the town (Charlestown, Massachusetts) use Crown Vics and Glocks to chase the townies, no product placement there. Bank and armored car robbing used to be the chief source of income there, and unlike the Mafia, the townies REALLY don't run their mouths.
