Film Threat
Film Threat is nothing if not the most iconoclastic and funny magazine to take on Tinseltown. So acerbic is its take on big-budget and bombastic cinema, one imagines that editor Christian Gore and his cohorts have worn-out a videotape copy of Robert Altman's "The Player" in a coffee-cup stained VCR. In his tasty editor's notes, Gore usually skewers the spoon-fed assumptions of the movie-going minions, with ax- grinding satire and snide asides. A new national distribution deal and a exclusive interview with "Ren and Stimpy" creator John Kricfalusi in the December '92 issue has given this once margin-walking Spy magazine for guerrilla film and video makers/enthusiasts a push toward the widening middle-fringe of hipness.
