There is chapter, by me, about the relationship between 'circular'
narrative structures and product placement in a group of Hollywood
films released between 1985-1990, which concentrates on the Back to
the Future cycle and Penny Marshall's _Big_.... it's called 'How
Hollywood Takes the Waiting out of Wanting', and it's in a collection
called 'Beyond the Pleasure Dome' ed. S. Vice et al. (SAP 1994).
(with apologies for self-advertisement; particularly in the context
of such an august citation as this...)
