Alternate ending to Eagle Eye is a horrible Rock Band commercial

 

I’ve never seen Eagle Eye, the action thriller starring Shia LeBouf that hit theaters earlier this year. So really, I don’t know how this alternate ending — which can be found on the film’s DVD and Blu-ray release — compares to what actually happened in the final cut.

 

But man, this is horrible. LeBouf and his co-star, Michelle Lynn Monaghan, are sharing some sort of tender moment when … cut to kids playing Rock Band. Wait, what? The whole thing just feels odd and forced, but considering the films distributor is DreamWorks Pictures who owns Viacom who in turn owns MTV … it’s not that that surprising. 

 

This is, of course, a “spoiler” as I assume it gives away something about the film’s plot (it is an ending, after all). But if you’re looking for an example of awkward product placement and what might have been a good reason to not buy Rock Band, have at it.
