TAG, YOU'RE SHIT


When your tagline doesn't even get proofread, it sets a framework for the production value of your film. Well, so does naming your film "Slaughter High"; But let's analyze everything that's stupid about this poster. First, I'll concede that Marty looks pretty fucking cool. But the movie is called Slaughter High, implying we are in high school, while the tagline clearly contradicts that by bringing up Marty's major. And about that major... cutting... classmates? Seriously? Simply removing "mates" from this tagline gives you a pretty decent pun: Marty always liked cutting class. We can safely assume the auteurs of this shining magnum opus never went to college, or high school. 

And is an apple-bomb for teacher really very threatening? If I were in charge of this, there'd be one of those giant "I know what you did last summer" hooks right through teach's face with the tagline: Marty's been playing hookie again...

  2. hahaha either you're an idiot, or you're a proponent of the philosophy that bad is good in tagline land (legitimate), but you're probably both.
