The more I think about it, the more the 5 minute car commercial in Barbie bugs me. (feddit.de)

It's like in a music video when the artist suddenly pulls out the new Samsung explosive device, and your heart sinks a little.

Not only is it necessary for even decent movies to be packaged within some IP, they also seem to rely on selling ad space within the movie itself.

Very bleak.

"It's capitalism" is an unsatisfying explanation because one the one hand it's sort of trivially true, but on the other, good movies have been made under capitalism.

But you went to watch a blockbuster. These are made to make money above all else. You just aren't the target demographic.
