I think you're really taking it the wrong way. Jodorowsky isn't some franchise, constantly plundering his catalogue for new ways to rip us off; you say "merchandise", but it's not like there are El Topo coffee mugs or Santa Sangre plushies he's always pushing. The guy has always been very uncompromising with his work, and while that was able to get him financing 20, 30, 40 years ago, in today's film industry, it's not. So why not cut out the middle man and appeal directly to his fans?
