Film Crew Slang
Tentpole- A film designed to be a top grossing blockbuster (usually in the summer) to make up for a studio's financial flops. The Tentpole is usually part of a franchise series of films. Holy Tentpole Batman!
Pick of the Week
"They Live" (1988)- Famed horror director John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape From New York, The Thing)
provides a different twist on alien invasion. Professional wrestler
Rowdy Roddy Piper puts in an exceptionally great performance as a
drifter who slowly discovers the alien plot to subjugate the human race.
The manner in which the aliens overtly take over is disturbing and
humorous. We all have experienced the feeling that we are being
manipulated and deceived to further the plans of others. This film
proves it.
Best Scene: The five and a half minute long fist fight between Jon (Piper) and Frank (Keith David) over a pair of sunglasses. It is one of the most realistic of all time.
