I used to count the number of times products appeared in movies. But then realized that it distracted me from seeing the ACTUAL movie (although sometimes I find the placement distracting, is why I started to do it in the first place), so now I only do it to movies I've seen more than once.

If you haven't seen ET lately you will be AMAZED at the product placement in that movie. I'm surprised ET himself didn't have a Nike swoosh.

I think ET was the movie that got me started in the product placement counting..lol
