But then they would have had a point 20 years ago; this is hardly a novel observation.

Spot on!

In the seventies George Lucas was critisized for commercially violating his movies with so much merchandise. In MAD magazine they had a great parody on Star Wars. I have that copy still around somewhere. It would cost you $256,374.38 to get all the merchandise related to the movie.

I think they had a point. For the past month Toys R Us and Walmart have had shelves piled high with a new range of movie-linked toys that bear only passing resemblance to the original line.

But then they would have had a point 20 years ago; this is hardly a novel observation.

This parody probably contains a bit of fallout from the recent Transformers movie, another Hasbro vehicle. I want to find the director of that movie, sit him 3 inches from a tv screen whilst the same fast moving, zoomed-in and out of focus CGI explosion is played on continuous loop for 2 solid hours and ask him: "Does that make a good movie? Does it? Well does it?" Grrrr.

No sod that Monkfish make them read Marvel's Transformers comics and watch the cartoon and movie over and over. Then ask him: "How does your CGI wankfest compare to the original fucko, which is better your car wreck looking pieces of sh*t or the originals?"
