# How does this not fit with the image challenge description?

# "Merchandise for films that normally wouldn't have merchandise"
how would you like me to explain it more clearly?

# Well...
...if we're going to be pedantic cunts about it, a quick Google search would suggest there's plenty of merchandise for Se7en (one of the examples given in the image challenge suggestion) including a figure of Brad Pitt's character.

# calm down chap
you asked me a question, I gave an answer

and my initial comment had a winky face which in most cultures refers to the statement being a happy, cheeky, smiley, knowing comment.

# It reads as..
"I'm a bitter, miserable cunt with no sense of humour"
I must have misunderstood. ;)

# fair enough, if you don't get my sense of humour put me on ignore
but I'm not being a nazi or cracking whips

# Hmm, I think you'll be hard pressed to find a film that doesn't have any merchandise
Anyway there is always a tendency to read between the lines and bend the words a little

# by "bend the words a little"
do you mean "stretch the brief past breaking point and enter things only tangentially related"? i gave up (seriously) complaining about people totally ignoring the challenge brief a long time ago because they almost never stay on-topic. it's nice to sometimes point out to people that they're well off-topic, but that's only because i'm a cunt. :)

# I love how a row seemed to break out because I typed what I innocently thought was a funny comment
commenting on the specifics of an image challenge is nothing to get ones knickers in a twist over, but picking people up on how they comment is :D

# The majority of films that aren't targeted at young people
In other words, films with grown-up story lines that don't involve outer space, 3D, animated characters, mega special effects, etc. Or excessive hype.

# I'm just happy that this is what people are pulling up other users on
rather than yet another slew of movie posters.

# shame, it has enormous scope
maybe if you narrowed it down to "put a drawing of a tree on a random movie poster"?
