Admission: <\/span>I am stealing this directly from Slate<\/a>. But do I care? No. Do you care? Probably not. So here goes:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The summer blockbuster film, opening this weekend, is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen<\/span>. It is the sequel to the first movie, which itself was based on a line of toys. Which sounds pretty lame, idea-wise, if you ask me. Which is also probably why they cast Megan Fox in it.<\/p>\n

But I know you people. You can be a whole lot lamer than that. So here’s the contest idea: Come up with your own movie title based on a toy.<\/span> Tomorrow at noon Central I will pick my favorite entry and you get a free signed book from the Jason Boyett library<\/a>. ANY Jason Boyett book, except for Pocket Guide to the Apocalypse<\/span><\/a> because I am out of my personal stock of those titles right now. (Sorry.)<\/p>\n

You can submit as many times as you want, but each submission must be a separate comment to this post. Because that makes it easier for me to collect them.<\/p>\n

————–<\/p>\n

Here are some of my own ideas to help you get started:<\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>Wooden Blocks: Revenge of the Rogue Splinter<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>Strawberry Shortcake: Street Justice, Part 2<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>Thundercats: Mumm-Ra Returns<\/span><\/p>\n
