Ok, I’ll go for now, she can work another turn in when she comes back.

I was in the video store today, and there was a copy of TRUIMPH OF THE WILL there. The tagline on this version was: THE TERROR BEGINS!

What the hell? Is this THE PHANTOM MENACE all of a sudden?  
It just seemed wrong.

::blushes for missing her turn::

Sorry guys…I had to leave the boards for schoolwork - glad I got it right though! Should be Vandal’s turn now but I claim it if he doesn’t reply in 10…

Since I’ll probably never guess it by the “real” rules, I’ll toss one in for youse to decide wether or not to answer…

Hail to the king, baby.

Sorry about the delayed tagline. Boss needed to see me.

_Hail to the king, baby._

Army of Darkness?

(Although, I seem to recall the tagline being something to the effect of “trapped in time, low on gas, etc.”)

Hmmm…“Hail to the king, baby” is a line from Army of Darkness; but not a tagline…is it another movie, Vandal?
