Burn After Reading

Masterfully Subverted Tropes Burn After Reading No third-act resolution After all the misunderstandings and murders - nothing. The movie does have a third act, but its peculiarity is in the same banality the Coens put in A Serious Man a year later, only bureaucratic instead of existential. No climax, no comeuppance, no final exposition-just the CIA shrugging at the dumb developments and deciding to ignore them. CRACKED.COM

They Live

THEY LIVE John Carpenter used a pseudonym. Carpenter grew sick of seeing his name listed all over the movie as the director, writer, producer, etc. To break it up, he wrote the screenplay under the name Frank Armitage (a name he got from the H.
