Title: billy is an angel, but what he has in mind is positively devilish
Post by: WilliamWeird1313 on November 11, 2008, 10:48:41 AM
I vividly recall seeing a movie with this tagline on the video box cover, but I can't recall what the movie is? Anybody know?

"Billy is an angel, but what he has in mind is positively devilish!"

apparently your film is "school spirit".

this was really easy. all i did was search for the phrase you mentioned, in quotes, and of the three results that came up in my google results, two were for this thread.

Thanks.

I googled that phrase myself a while ago and got NO results whatsoever. No correct ones, anyway.

I just tried googling it again and only got 2 results (both from this thread). Just out of curiosity... do you recall what the third link was, where you found out what films this was?

but, more importantly, here's how i found it-

i plugged "billy is an angel"+"positively devilish" into google.

D'oh! I didn't even think of that. I just put the whole damn quote in Google.

Oi.

see, that'll foul you up sometimes, because there's no telling whether other people are going to punctuate things the same as you would. sometimes you get better results just using blocks of information, and leaving the iffy stuff out.

Very good hint.  I tried the exact same thing as WW and got the same results.
