And the flow of miscellaneous flotsam and jetsam just keeps coming.
Like all of these big-budget summer movies with all the ancillary shit, I expect to see a ton of this at Odd Lots by September.
It still blows my mind that some stores are still clogged with pointless Superman Returns shit.
Thank god I stocked up on Deep Impact licensed lube when I could in 1998. Though you can still find a tube at Dollar General or Family Dollar if you look hard enough.
I posit the following hypothesis:
1. Movie toy marketing people are not stupid;
1. (a) They have access to sales statistics;
1. (b) The market their wares accordingly.
Therefore, there is a genuine need in todays consumer society for the Superman Returns-branded Rape Evidence Collection Kit.
However, this crap also continues to clog shelves and warm pegs, contradicting this hypothesis. So perhaps this is some sort of localised Ohioan phenomenon, where bizarrely the usually otherwise-culturally-desolate persons of the Birthplace of America show extraordinarily refined buying tastes?
Then, as if in response to your request...
