Re: LOL, Disney! Doctor Strange plug in "General Hospital" what the fuck.
I was about to die if he was just not even going to acknowledge it and keep talking about something else.
SHAMELESS

Re: LOL, Disney! Doctor Strange plug in "General Hospital" The characters of Ned and Olivia always used to go on dates to action/superhero movies. After all this is 2016 - soap storylines haven't remained in the 50's. With them getting back together, this scene is an entirely natural character beat.

Re: LOL, Disney! Doctor Strange plug in "General Hospital" This happens all the time on shows on Freeform, The CW and MTV and it's awful and shameless.

Re: LOL, Disney! Doctor Strange plug in "General Hospital" If it's done well, it ain't shameless. I think that clip was done rather well. So it's not shameless. I have nothing against product placement. It is a legitimate marketing tool. But 99% of the time, marketers and production staff don't have a natural way of delivery, so it looks shoehorned in. But when it works, it can work very well, and it is often memorable.

Re: LOL, Disney! Doctor Strange plug in "General Hospital" Chippy's clip is good. But the rest are cringe-worthy.

The General Hospital clip that is the subject of this thread works and is memorable for those who follow the show - it's a long running storyline that is integral to the characters' relationship. It would work for members of a movie discussion forum too, if they ever had a regular date to take to the cinema. No one here has ever looked forward to seeing an upcoming movie with their movie-loving lover? Or do you all always go to movies by your lonesome?

Re: LOL, Disney! Doctor Strange plug in "General Hospital" What? lol. Sure. But most couples are not declaring their love of specific, soon-to-be-released movies in-front of a camera and then broadcast across the country. It is product placement, and it is shameless.

Re: LOL, Disney! Doctor Strange plug in "General Hospital" No. Both comments are referring to different clips.

Re: LOL, Disney! Doctor Strange plug in "General Hospital" Algren wrote: No. Both comments are referring to different clips. Your attempts at playing dumb are tiresome, because you're too obviously intelligent. Only one section in your earlier quote was related to another specific clip.

The rest of your post supports this type of product placement when it is well done. Algren wrote: If it's done well, it ain't shameless....I have nothing against product placement. It is a legitimate marketing tool.... when it works, it can work very well, and it is often memorable. I imagine you're not a fan of General Hospital - but for those people who are, this one is well done, works perfectly and is memorable.

Re: LOL, Disney! Doctor Strange plug in "General Hospital" If I'm too intelligent, why waste posts on trying to catch me out on a contradiction?
Obviously it is not a contradiction, and it is clear to see that I disagree the General Hospital placement is well done. So that solves your confusion.
