3PedalMINI Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 This movie looks sweet, ill wait for it to come on netflix though, the only theater thats playing it is in philly and im not sure its worth the drive:willy: Intrepid filmmaker Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) directs this entertaining, bitingly ironic documentary, which scrutinizes the pervasive marketing, advertising and product placement practices that have become de rigueur in the entertainment industry. Cheerfully using the proceeds gleaned from product placement within this film to finance it (and underscore his point), Spurlock reveals the corporate power that saturates both film and television. http://www.sonyclassics.com/pomwonderfulpresentsthegreatestmovieeversold/ <iframe width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/f9vu3dUMQ1s" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 That's the new name of Altoona Pennsylvania. Seriously. As part of filming there, the city sold the name of Altoona to them for filming rights and the town has been renamed Pom Wonderful Presents the Greatest Movie Ever Sold. It will keep the name for 30 or 60 days (I forget). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3PedalMINI Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 i take it you saw it? how was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMCMDN Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 i take it you saw it? how was it? It was good, but at one point in the movie I was like "so what's the point of the movie again?" I don't think it did as well in the box office because of it's limited release. According to yahoo movies, it only made about half a million in the U.S. I should have waited for it to come out in the dollar theater for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
