    Here's how Atari should have responded to the ad:

     

    "Dear Nestle,

     

    We thoroughly enjoyed seeing your recent TV commercial featuring a family enjoying a Kit-Kat themed Breakout-style video game.

     

    Atari has been about families enjoying time together ever since we were founded over 40 years ago, and we think this is a terrific use of Breakout, and a great way to promote both of our brands.

     

    We would love to work with you to further this, by collaborating on an online version of the game featured in the ad, produced jointly by Nestle and Atari.

     

    We're happy to have you continue to use Breakout in your advertisements - we just ask that a small line of text be included, crediting Breakout to Atari.

     

    Thank you for your time, and for remembering Breakout!

     

    Sincerely,

     

    People who are obviously not running Atari right now"

     

    EXACTLY!!!!

     

    Sorry I just now read this and couldn't agree more!...I think I would have mentioned some kind of joint promotion in the future...Maybe even a Tiny licensing fee, for the ability to use a Real Atari and joysticks in a future commercial or something...But the basic premise is the same. You don't become a corporate asshole simply because you can or think you're entitled to...Better to be cool to someone who thinks like you and shares interests etc., Especially as they were merely creating an homage to the joy of classic video games, Clearly they weren't pretending to be the author of such things..

    I haven't seen it, though I probably will someday (or not)...What I do know is that your last sentence seems to be the going consensus...

     

    I like some of his other movies, but doubt I'll care much for this one...

     

    If you think about it, Ghostbusters was kind of hit or miss...The 1st movie was Awesome...Second one was barely passable..The cartoon series was Brilliant!

     

    A lot of my friends agreed, they'd have had a better second movie if they used story lines from the cartoon (or comic books)...

    Sweet!

     

    We have hummingbird moths sometimes, but they don't have the cool camo like that.

     

    And usually in the Summer we get besieged by these little moths called "Millers" (technically each is a "Miller's Moth"), who are on a migration and get sidetracked into houses, etc. on their way to pollinate wildflowers in the Rockies and on the Plains...However the last few years I've barely seen any millers...I had maybe 2 all Summer long last year, whereas some years I used to have up to 15 a day for about 2 weeks...
