Open Letter to Apple Computers About Movies and Props

[dewline]

From Bleeding Cool, a warning about what could become a problem in terms of keeping movie audiences in suspense:

I'm with Mr. Johnson on this point. I didn't notice it in the moment as I was watching Knives Out at the cinema, but now that this fact is out where the viewing public can see it? Movie-makers and audiences alike are going to have another problem to go with the others they're already coping with. Insisting upon this contract clause will ruin some more of the fun.

So Hollywood will invent an "ePhone", with a peach or banana as the logo.
Apple loses advertising opportunities, producers lose a little product placement cash, everybody wins.

Funny coincidence about your "Peach" remark: there used to be a retail/repair shop in Ottawa's Centretown neighbourhood called Peach Computers. Located on Metcalfe between Slater and Laurier, in the ground floor of one of DND's lesser-known office complexes if memory serves. I bought the odd bit of software and hardware from them before they went out of business.

The iCarly series my daughter used to watch had computers with a pear logo.

Seems I already knew this, but had forgotten it explicitly spelled out.

Apple is being ridiculous... Rian is very cute btw... lol

[dewline]

Agreed on point one, and I won't argue with you about point two. Cute is subjective.

[almsfortheinsane]

Well, you are a guy. LOL
