“An imaginable evil” “An often told story.” “Based on a true story… sort of.” “They had plenty of time.” “Soon to be a minor motion picture.” "Shown only once in a theater in the middle of the Gobi desert.’ “If this movie isn’t playing in your city you obviously live in a Podunk town in the boonies.” “Some doors were meant to be opened” \* \*I think that this should have been the slogan for The Chronicles Of Narnia ---

In his book _Movie Megacheese_, _MST3K_’s Mike Nelson played on _Volcano_’s now-famous tagline “The Coast is Toast.\*” He came up with a number of other ideas for taglines for possible disaster movies, including one for a disaster film set in Denver. “Colorado, Rocky Mountain DIE.” I would love to see a real movie use that tagline. \*“It looks more like ‘The Volcano is Drano.’”- Roger Ebert ---

Although this isn’t really a tagline per se, many films show how long they have been running in their print ads, i.e. “Second smash week!” I’d like to see a movie that lists how many days it’s been playing. But I like silly ads like that. I think there was a print ad for _Goldmember_ which poked fun at the idea of films that aren’t the highest grossing movie pointing out they are the #1 comedy/date movie/family movie what have you with a caption to the effect of “#1 Movie in America [sub]starring a Canadian ex-SNL cast member that’s also a sequel[/sub].” ---

_Nothing but partial nudity, and some monsters slashing and bashing each other for two hours. C’mon, it’s a three-day weekend, and it’s the middle of July. You really want to spend all your free time watching Fellini?_
