Yes, remember when celebrities would make bank in non-major media markets because they didn't want to dilute their brand or look like sellouts?

Those were the days.

"Still?" The only date referenced was 2011.

Those Alien Jones commercials look pretty amazing, though!

I was watching another video, not sure where, about how actors are now actually brands. Think of all the folks were their own liquors, for instances. The problem is actors who are brands selling products won't want to take any roles or scenes that would endanger their brand. At the same time, legitimate movie stars--people that drive ticket sales just for appearing--are old, dying, or dead.

So maybe it's those older movie stars who need to preserve their reputation as actors limit their advertising in the US, while the younger generation without legitimate star power, need to supplement their income with cellular phone networks and whiskey.

He wants you to turn, look in camera. O.K.?

I don't exactly know what makes it such a good film, it just does it for me.
