http://www.slashfilm.com/transformers-age-of-extinction-tops-2015-product-placement-awards/

The winner for most brands in a single film shouldn’t be hard to guess but smaller films like Nightcrawler and The Theory of Everything apparently still found ways to squeeze in a few notable brand mentions.

2014 Award for Overall Product Placement: Apple
Apple was reportedly featured in 9 of the 35 #1 films of 2014, beating out runner-ups Sony and Coca-Cola. It’s the company’s first win since 2011.

2014 Award for Achievement in Product Placement in a Single Film: Transformers: Age of Extinction
Transformers: Age of Extinction reportedly featured 55 distinct brands. At this point, they should probably just name this award after Michael Bay — he also won in 2014 for Pain & Gain (39 brands) and in 2011 for Transformers: Dark of the Moon (71).

You know he's the villain, because he's got shifty eyes.
i remember in "i, robot" someone says to will smith "nice shoes" and he answers "vintage 2004". i'm used to product placement but i had never seen actors actually acknowledge it in-character

real talk, whenever i see an android or even (lol) a windows phone in a movie or tv show, i immediately wonder how much they paid for the placement. but if theres a mac or iphone, it just seems completely natural and my immersion isnt ruined

some product placement might not feel out of place if it weren't for the fact that tv always uses fake brands or just hides the brands if they're not being paid

catching up on parks & rec and when chris walks in with a petsmart bag and says he stopped by petsmart it feels really awkward and forced even though that's exactly a thing one would say irl

the brands in blade runner are all advertisements which is the normal home of the brand, it's not like deckard used a surface pro 3 and cortana to zoom in on that photo then printed it on his epson stylus printer
