How bad could the movie possibly be if Iron Man is on Slurpee cups?<BR/><BR/>Similarly, the Hulk is all over Burger King with goofy toys that the kids want (though why you'd want Dumpster Tossing Abomination, who knows?). Again, they went several times to BK to get the toys.<BR/><BR/>There was a good article in WSJ about how they're trying to bypass the selling of the movies to their corporate partners. Cna't run an ad for your movie? Heyyy, we can run an ad for the toy, though.<BR/><BR/>I'm not anti-corporation by any means, but it seems that they're talking out of both sides of their mouths. WE didn't promote the movie to kids. Blame the toy/cereal/clothing companies!<BR/><BR/>Seems a LITTLE sneaky to me...KC Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119082068864429463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5546433720157319900.post-77563029352446799812008-06-26T04:50:00.000-05:002008-06-26T04:50:00.000-05:00KC, we often question parental judgement when we s...KC, we often question parental judgement when we see films. I remember us being in the third Lord of the Rings film and folks had their three and four years olds with them. What? Can't spring for a babysitter? People, seriously!
