Unless it's a documentary, absolutely not. I "need" to know whether a character is drinking water or soda or coffee or wine, but not what brand. Make one up, it's more interesting. The realism should come from other things than brands of all things... if that even moves the needle, the movie is trash anyway.
And yes, a lot of trash is called movies, and a lot of shills-du-jour are called actors. So? Compared with craftsmen they are nothing and produce nothing. Rather than accepting that as normal, they overstayed my welcome. They're not part of my world, I don't feed them and I don't let their crap into my brain.

- ashark 9y agoThe new Twin Peaks has been confusing me by prominently displaying several different computer/phone brands. I'm not sure whether they've somehow taken on multiple sponsors for the same kind of thing, which seems unusual, or Lynch is trying to make some sort of statement.
