Conjunction Junction

I remember a few years back, when I was either a freshman or still in middle school, talking to my brother and our friends about a movie coming out.  I couldn't remember the name of the movie, but I knew it was a one-word title.  "It's an adverb," I said.  

They laughed at me for that characterization, but when we finally remembered the title, sure enough, it's an adverb.  I wish I could remember the name now.  I have a problem with these things.  I was reminded of this little anecdote because it happened again tonight.  

Talking to Eldon, I was trying to remember the name of an action movie and all I could remember was, "It's based on a comic book, and there's a colon in it."  "A colon?"  "Yeah, there's a colon in it."

It took another couple of hours, but I finally got it-- Punisher: War Zone.

My memory may be flawed, but it's grammatically correct.
