DEATH: The final frontier. That's a good tag line. I get the basics of what you're saying but I'm uncomfortable with your imposed character count. The AVERAGE American word (varies widely) includes four consents and two vowels - that is six characters, or according to your calculations, about 47.8 words. A number of folk will disagree with that.

Actually, yeah, DEATH: The Final Frontier is much better, and more accurate. I'm gonna use that! I'm only using the 239 characters because that's what IMDb allows for in the outline (plot summary).
