Indiana Jones Limited Edition M&M's

YAY! We finally got these in at my store. M&M has just launched tie in M&M's for "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" including a Limited Edition Mint Crunch flavor. They are so delicious! They are crunchy like those old "Crispy" flavored ones they used to have, but have mint chocolate that taste like Andes. It is incredible. And if you let em melt in your car and/or pocket they get EVEN MORE DELICIOUS! Peanut and Chocolate also got revamped packaging for the movie that hits theaters May 22 this year. Some of the M&M's also got cool little Indiana Jones markings like a fedora, a tribal mask, a temple, a skull, and a compass.


In other Indian Jones news... Want to see what the general idea of the film is without waiting for the movie to actually come out. Then check out The Asylum's latest straight to video ripoff "Allan Quatermain and the Temple of Skulls". The Asylum is a company notorious for putting out cheap straight to DVD knock offs before films even reach theaters to piggy back on the marketing of the legitimate film. Case in point: "Alien vs Hunter" upon the release of "Alien vs Predator 2", "Monster" before "Cloverfield", "100 million B.C" sneaking up on "10,000 B.C", "Transmorphers" vs "Transformers", "Snakes on A Train", "Invasion of the Pod People", "Pirates of Treasure Island", and my personal favorite "I am Omega" (this one starred the incredible talent of Mark Dacascos, the host of "Iron Chef America"... really.) It has to be the best title for a rip-off by far, it uses the I AM from 'I am Legend' and the OMEGA from the earlier film adaptation 'Omega Man' and smashes them together in a flurry of creativity. (I wish there was a way to emphasize sarcasm on here.) Anyways, here is another crappy film from this company, but they will probably rake in fat bank on it, so who am I to judge. Me personally, I'll hold off for the real deal.
