I'm just happy their making a movie, yee haw!. I am also happy with the movie... and even though I'm complaining, and will keep complaining, I will go and see it and most likely buy the DVD, movie tie-in ed., and any other merchandise (that in the case there's some available here in Canada).

I don't mean to be excessively rude here, really I don't, but what kind of integrity is that? Either complain and don't buy into the mass-marketing of ASOUE, or shut up and enjoy it. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. I'm not complaining about the mass marketing of ASOUE. I'm complaining about the movie and its possible quality and faithfulness to the books. Actually, I don't care if we end up with Lemony Snicket bathroom tissue or whatever, but at least it should be a good quality product.

Actually, usually, movie-based products (i.e. Harry Potter merchandise) tend to be cheap and crappy and made badly, and the products are also very outrageous and have no relation to the source material they base off of ecept a character or logo. Like, Lemony Snicket underwear or something.
Some of it, though, at least had some thought put into it, like say, a Lemony Snicket fake tatoo set or a Lemony Snicket action figure product (all off of teh top of my head), but some of it really is rediculous.
but I see exactly what you are saying, and Im on your side, DarkPheonix. I would like to see some quality products come from this too. I expect the DVD to be loaded with good stuff, considering the high budget movies like this usually have awesome DVDs.

Am I weird if I like the idea of Lemony Snicket undergarments? I mean.... you could get boring underwear, or you could have Lemony Snicket underwear! Come on... which would you choose? Okay, dumb question.
And yeah, there were some pretty bad HP things. The toothpaste was real, I'm not sure if Potions Master is actually copyrighted, but everything affiliated with HP is pretty heavily copyrighted now. JK's even said in a couple interviews that she wished HP wasn't so commercialized, and she's definitely not allowed some stupid things (toilets seats, for one) to even go on the market. Still, there's a lot of crap out there, and there's not very much we can do to control it. Which surely sucks.
But honestly, I would like some good quality merchandise, I don't want badly designed crap.

XD I also want good merchandise, like really cool t-shirts, and halloween costumes (the coolest idea for a VFD disguise kit), and school supplies w/ the Prufrock Prep logo or the VFD logo, etc etc etc.

Now that would be cool. They should let us design merchandise. I'd make a supa-cool Prufrock badge for like, sewing onto sweaters and things? Like... you know? A REAL badge!
Dark, where would the eyes be on said underwear?
Also, the disguise kit's a cool idea.
What else? Oh, some interesting food would be cool. Parsley soda, anyone?

Dark, where would the eyes be on said underwear? On the front.... I was trying to think of a funny, suggestive, and snicket-ish caption but I'm not that clever . Yeah, a Prufrock Prep badge would be cool, and what about a themed store? (like the Disney store but w/o dumb people) What about the In Boutique?

That would rock.
Slogan, slogan... *thinks* "Unlock the secret of Lemony Snicket inside!"
Er.. that wasn't too good, but it could have been, if I were witty.
We could make fake leeches and suction them to peoples' arms! No wait, that would be bad mechandise....
I wouldn't mind some funky stickers, though.

I also want the kind of "Warning" tape the police uses... but with something about fire and the VFD. Stickers would be great. And hand puppets, so Luna could make her Puppet version of TRR.
I also want t-shirts from the places in ASOUE. Like: "Eat at The Anxious Clown" "I survived Caligari Carnival" "Veritable French Dinner: If you have to ask you can't afford it" "The Volunteers Fighting Disease <3 Sick People" "Prufrock Preparatory School S.O.R.E. Team" "Red H. Nirger Theater - Staff Member" "Heimlich Hospital - Patient 1313" "The Daily Punctilio - Reporter" "I <3 Freaks!" "Cafe Kafka" "Have you seen this man?" *a photo of Snicket from the back*

Oh my god, I would love to have an ASOUE cigarette/ID case and matching lighter. I hate smoking but my Kill Bill ones are so cool XD
I'd also kill for some really sharp figurines. Not action figures because I don't like those very much, but stationary figurines would be so hot.
And MY ART BOOK. WHERE IS MY ART BOOK? HELQUIST PLZ MAEK N ART BOK
