'Blade Trinity': You know you want an iPod
After the train wreck that was Blade 2, I had ambiguous expectations about Blade: Trinity, the third installment about the half-vampire vampire hunter. All in all, Blade: Trinity wasn't a bad movie at all.
Except for the copious amounts of product placement.
The Apple logo is everywhere in this film, most notably on Jessica Biel (alias Hotty McHotterson). She's an ass-kicking, bow-and-arrow-wielding vampire killing machine. And what does she do while she kills vampires? Listens to her iPod!. That's right, kids: Blade uses Apple products, and he's badass.
This is one of the most shameless examples of product placement I've ever seen. Jessica Biel puts her iPod headphones on, turns on the music, and then kills vampires. Every kid in America is going to want one an iPod. Why? Because it's super badass. Pretty soon, iPods will appear in most films. George Lucas likes making money. Perhaps the DVD "Special Edition" of The Empire Strikes Back will look something like this:

Dang, and all this time I thought walkmans were badass. So that's why I get beat up all the time.

Who in there right mind would care what Jessica Biel (star of 7th heaven)(wink, wink). I bet that if in that movie, she smoked that tens apon thousands of people would smoke. Yah, sure. That's a really bad theory, Mark.
