   I hope someone may be able to help me here.

   I have followed the excellent tutorial series here:
   http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/05/06/custom-taxonomies-in-wordpress-28
   and here:
   http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/06/04/using-custom-taxonomies-to-create-a-movie-database

   I find myself needing to retrieve the current custom taxonomy term ID similar how it is done here for tags:
   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/305892?replies=4

   what I'm using for tags is this inside the tag.php

   $term_id 			= get_query_var('tag_id');
   $taxonomy 			= 'post_tag';
   $args 				='include=' . $term_id;
   $terms 				= get_terms( $taxonomy, $args );

   Now I need to do the same for my custom taxonomy but I can't seem to nail it. What I don't understand is the tag_id in get_query_var('tag_id') is coming from where? Where can I find a list of the variable keys the get_query_var() function can take?

   This might may regarding the query_vars so you can see what's there..
   

   <pre><?php print_r($wp_query->query_vars); ?></pre>

   Also you may wish to consider posting your solution for other users.

   @t31os_ that's right that's what I ended up doing then I found out that all I had to do was the following:
   

   $term_id 			= get_query_var('term_id');

   It was right there in front of me all the time!
