Egads, but this is getting depressing. Here we have a film with perhaps the most iconic image in all of Stalk ‘n’ Slashdom and what do we get? We get another cut and paste hack job of the title only. You will see four of the lamest ads ever. *sigh* (That’s me shaking a fist at you, Ghost of the Conestoga 4.)
Now. I do remember the Trib, my old hometown newspaper, used that provocative art when Happy Birthday to Me ran at the Strand or the Rivoli back in 1981. And this streak of bad luck has me hoping the majority of these things played at the Capitol or the Grand here in the Island or this is gonna get pretty boring pretty darn quick.
