Does anyone else find the product placement to be completely ridiculous in Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

Asked by rockfan (14627points) September 7th, 2017 from iPhone

I rewatched the movie last night and forgot about the blatant advertising. It completely took me out the film, especially the scene in which there’s a Budweiser bottle perfectly set up on a nightstand in the foreground, while a Budweiser commercial is playing in the background. Does this bother anyone else? But I realize that that the film had some budget problems and it probably wouldn’t have been made if it weren’t for the advertising – I just wish it was done in a subtle way.
