Juli D The Bonafide Poet...
Hopefully, I can be of assistance to some of the tagline posters. I think you might be unclear on the meaning of tagline. Taglines are used by the film studios to promote a movie. Unlike many of the posts today these taglines would not include bad reviews by critics. Maybe you can repost or keep it in mind tomorrow for better results. Happy posting!

Chris M ·
Top 100 Player · Works at Legal Assistant in Muskegon, MichiganI thought this was previously discussed and that the consensus was that either a tagline or a critical line were acceptable. No wonder I suck at that game!

Saw a couple of references to Li'l Abner and Sadie Hawkins Day; lest we forget, that (in)famous day is Nov. 14. The Leap Day thing is a whole nother myth.

Grant S ·
Elder (Over 100 Rounds) · Worked at Stuff and Nonsense (Head Precycler) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania7. The practice of women proposing in a leap year is different around the world. In Denmark, it is not supposed to be 29 but 24 February, which hails back to the time of Julius Caesar. A refusal to marry by Danish men means they must give the woman 12 pairs of gloves. In Finland, it is not gloves but...See more

Elder (Over 100 Rounds) · Lives in Burlington, VermontDoes anyone understand what a movie tagline is supposed to be? It's not supposed to be a put-down or a critique or a senseless irrelevant joke. It's supposed to be a phrase that hypes the movie, supplements the title, attracts attention in a way that intrigues a potential audience. It can be funny, or scary, or whatever, but it's not supposed to pan...See more
