Yeah, I remember
The Truman Show... whenever I'm walking down the street, and I see someone who looks uncannily like someone I passed ten blocks ago, I get this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach...
Regarding product placement, if the arrangements are done ahead of time ("So, Mr. Jordan, if you can just have your hero show a preference for Lexus autos..."), and it works in context of the character/situation ("Dude... no one drives Lexus automobiles on Proxima Centauri!"), I'm okay with it. Changing that product later would be
verboten if it changed the context of the story/character/situation in the slightest. I'm not going to rewrite a story to explain why a hard-nosed character likes to eat at Wendy's...
