: : : Greetings from a first-time poster...
: : : I've just seen Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, and it has changed my life.
: : : OK, maybe that's going a bit too far, but it's not going too far for me to say it was the first flick I've seen this summer I was not disappointed with when I left.
: : : Cats & Dogs, Evolution, Planet of the Apes... all left me wondering what else I could've spent my $5.25 on. Not J&SB! In fact, I want to see it again! I even bought the soundtrack right after - sorry, there was no way I could wait to order it off the 'net. I can't wait until the first time I'm blasting "Jay's Rap" in my car and get a puzzled look from someone.
: : : On the off-chance that Kevin himself might read my humble little post - great work, my man! Hope to see J&SB finish on top of the weekend movie take.
: : : Now I feel like making a pilgrimage to Jersey...
: Hate to follow up my own post, but...
: The observation - I was the ONLY one in the theater at the showing I attended that stayed through the credits to the end. I knew there would be a reason! "For I have seen the face of God..." and, "You Oughta Know," you don't wanna piss her off!
: Here's the question - did Apple Computer pay for product placement in the movie? It doesn't matter to me if they did, but the comps were rather prominently featured. Seems there would be a reason why they were shown and not your standard PC.]
Almost every movie you see come out of Hollywood features Apple computers. My guess is that MACs are used a lot in the making of film, with Final Cut Pro and stuff for editing. THat means they are readily available so they end up in the movies.
