iMacs in the movies

Most of the computers in movies for several years have been Macintoshes, maybe because the Mac is the only computer that doesn’t look like every other computer and therefore benefits from product placement. But this is the first movie in which an entire iMac commercial runs on TV in the background of a shot.

How’s that for random trivia? Thanks to Roger Ebert’s review of Showtime for this little tidbit.
