I'd be terrified if I was in the film business, how are movie studios going
to make money in the near future? It seems to me that product placement and
toys related to the movie will become an increasingly important source of
revenue, possibly the only sources. That in turn will effect the sort of
movies that get made. It's hard to sneak in a reference to a Nokia cell
phone in a movie about Julius Caesar and deep physiological dramas don't
usually sell many toys. I did notice somebody is making a Sigmund Freud
action figure but I don't think it's selling very well.
