I think the least we could do is help Ken & Jim with their pitch for the
sequel to "Pitch Black."

It's the top per-screen film of the week. Great word of mouth. Burger King
is anxious to put rat lizards in their kids' meals. And maybe a plastic
figurine, too.

Your thoughts?

I still say there ought to be a merchandizing tie-in for those airplane life
jackets that have the light sewn onto them. They're too perfect.

You wanted thoughts about merchandizing tie-ins, right?

Merchandising tie-in.


Wait for it.

Minor detail... they apparently hurt like hell.

Maybe I'll just go with the sunglasses, then.

Try 'WildEyes' cosmetic contacts, if you're on a budget. They run
about $99 a pair and come in several styles, from all white to all
black to a pair that's red and yellow and looks exactly like Darth
Maul's eyes (and predated the film by something like 3 years), to cat's
eyes and so on and so on... I once pitched a sci-fi story that was
based entirely on the 'zoomin' lenses (they looked like interesting
android/replacement eyes).

Kinda' fun.
