My real writer friend has a real writer problem right now, which puts things in a lot of context. In grad school my best instructor/the best instructor in terms of encouraging writerly behavior and practices surprised us once by saying to call yourself a writer you need to be published. Thinking ab read more
Supergirl (2015) s05e05 – Dangerous Liaisons
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 5, 2019
This episode could be a lot worse. It does have some significant lows—like when Azie Tesfai has to pretend to cry, which she’s absurdly bad at doing. Like, it’s uncomfortable. Especially when you realize they went with the best take. Got to be able to cry on “Supergirl,” it’s one of the read more
Blinded by the Light (2019, Gurinder Chadha)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 4, 2019
What’s not clear about Blinded by the Light is how much of the film’s success is because of lead Viveik Kalra or because about ninety straight minutes of soundtrack consists of The Best of Bruce Springsteen. The film, based on an actual British Pakistani Springsteen stan, is about teenager Kalra read more

Batwoman (2019) s01e05 – Mine Is a Long and a Sad Tale
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 4, 2019
This episode has no awesome Batwoman action. The only Batwoman action scene is not very good, in fact. It’s all that stealthy Batman Begins type action as Batwoman breaks into estranged sister and supervillain Alice’s base and takes her prisoner, presumably leaving all the thugs unconscious… read more

Blade II (2002, Guillermo del Toro)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 2, 2019
There’s a legitimately great sword fight scene in Blade II, after some really solid ones—the film’s CG assists never help it but director del Toro does understand how a fight sequence is like a dance sequence (particularly in the great sword fight) and star Wesley Snipes is always ready to show read more

Watchmen (2019) s01e01 – It’s Summer and We’re Running Out of Ice
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 1, 2019
The only times “Watchmen” doesn’t feel calculated are when you can’t imagine the shot as a David Gibbons comic panel. Every couple minutes you can feel how the sequence of shots would feel as a Watchmen comic, showing how just because DC Comics could never figure out how to do it without the read more

Blade (1998, Stephen Norrington)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 31, 2019
Back when the movie came out—on DVD, anyway—I tried watching Blade 1 a couple times. The first time I turned it off before I was twenty minutes in, which used to be a soft rule (give the movie twenty minutes, depending on runtime); I think I gave it until Stephen Dorff showed up, then had to stop. read more

Supergirl (2015) s05e04 – In Plain Sight
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 31, 2019
It took me a while to like Mehcad Brooks’s “Don’t Call Me Jimmy” Olsen. The character’s fairly flat, the show never really let Brooks do much either. He’d always get in the orbit of a controversial topic and then rush through a couple episodes and move on. Let’s not forget the show didn’t read more

All Rise (2019) s01e01 – Pilot
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 31, 2019
I wanted to watch “All Rise” because it’s Simone Missick’s new show. Missick was awesome on “Luke Cage,” figured I’d try it. But you know who else is in “All Rise”? Bullseye from “Daredevil,” Wilson Bethel. They play best friends. She’s a new judge, he’s her ex-fellow district read more
All Rise (2019) s01e02 – Long Day’s Journey Into ICE
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 31, 2019
Going into this episode, I thought I had the show figured out. It was “‘Major Crimes’ universe,” where white cops could be progressive about gay and trans rights and so on. Still pretty invested in white supremacy, but maybe not as much as usual. And no talking about killer cops. Progressive, read more
