Seen it and disliked it. Same goes for that commercial some while back with John Wayne, and the newer one featuring Steve McQueen.I admit, it IS funny, but I don't like someone today putting words in the mouth of "dead" actors.
Generally speaking, don't most of you consider Kubrick's Spartacus to be a good movie? So now ad/marketing executives are placing ads not only IN TV shows (Survivor and Apprentice are shameless) and movies (isn't it funny how the camera dwellt on that Apple computer on the protagonist's desk?), but even in DEAD actors mouths. Give these guys a break. Hey, they're dead--can't you just leave them alone?
There will be billboards on the moon in the future . . . for when spaceships fly by . . .
Just a opinion . . .
