'But what happens when you die?' 'You’re finished with,' Enderby said promptly. 'Done for. And even if you weren’t – well, you die then, gasp your last, then you’re sort of wandering, free of body.

I'm the sort of bloke that will have stand-up arguments with producers, saying, "Look, mate, I know you're product-placing that f**king thing' If I can see it, I'm just not going to allow it to happen... You lose all of your integrity as soon as you cross over into that sort of crass commercialism.

 
Russell Crowe
 

Well, for people that like that sort of thing, I think it is just about the sort of thing they would like.
