Same for a lot of people who bought Subs "Because James Bond wears one" Whether people like it or not marketing works.

I heard a good argument on the radio about Spectre - the argument was that without the expensive product placement the movie would have lacked some of the most dramatic stunts. It's a trade off between drama and commercialization. Of course the alternative is you could pay a LOT more for your movie theater ticket. Take your pick of how you prefer to pay.
