Star Trek: Discovery (2017) s02e01 – Brother
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 12, 2019
There’s a lot going on with the season premiere of “Discovery.” And not just the multiple teases related to the original series. “Discovery” gets out of addressing the time, technology, and costuming discrepancies with the original series and the reboot movies by bringing Captain Pike into read more
Zone Troopers (1985, Danny Bilson)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 11, 2019
The saddest thing about Zone Troopers is Biff Manard gives a fantastic performance and there’s no reason to see it. Nothing Manard could do would make Troopers worthwhile; it’s got so many problems—cast, direction, photography, editing, music, budget (though some of the effects are outstanding)—the read more
Mindhunter (2017) s02e09 – Episode 9
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 11, 2019
Is Anna Torv leaving the show? Because she might want to leave the show after this episode; she's pointlessly shoehorned in for a brief scene to remind the audience they haven't missed her. The boss comes back too in a similarly pointless move. A reminder of what came before and there read more

The Case of the Missing Plastic-Tipped Tongs
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 10, 2019
When I started 2019, I had this idea I’d consolidate all my blogging. Actually, wait, no, when I started 2019 I was going to start a TV blog (A Televisual Feast, natch) and do a lot of TV blogging, starting with a watch-through of “Penny Dreadful” because I’d gotten it for real cheap on Blu-ray read more
The Punisher #24, Up is Down and Black is White, Part 6 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 10, 2019
So in the last arc, Ennis found the pulp in Punisher MAX in a non-pulp setting. This arc ends in a pulp setting but without pulp storytelling. Instead, it’s this pensive, depressing look at people trapped by their lives. O’Brien realizes she’s trapped in this dark, violent, ugly world and only read more
The Flying Fish (2019, Murat Sayginer)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 9, 2019
It’s a little hard to describe The Flying Fish. At least without describing it in relation to other things. It’s what happens when Dr. Manhattan leaves, it’s a Boris Vallejo sexy robot painting turned into a movie, it’s like if early nineties POV-Ray renders looked real, it’s… It’s often read more

The Punisher #23, Up is Down and Black is White, Part 5 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 9, 2019
Lots happens this issue. Lots. Also not lots. It’s a very particular kind of comic, where the heroes find out what the villains have been plotting. A revelation issue… but for the characters. There’s probably a term for it. Sort of a diegetic revelation issue. Anyway, it also has Frank getting read more

The Punisher #22, Up is Down and Black is White, Part 4 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 8, 2019
The issue opens with one of those good Ennis ideas not explored; two guys breaking into a closed jewelry shop and terrified by the thought The Punisher, who’s (apparently) never cared about the non-violent street criminals, now does cares about them. Since he’s gone spree. Spree-er. But it’s just read more
The Three Musketeers (1973, Richard Lester)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 7, 2019
The Three Musketeers is so much fun, you barely notice when the film takes a turn in the last thirty or so minutes. The Musketeers are on a mission—they’ve got to deliver a letter to England to save at least one lady’s honor, possibly two—and just as the film reunites them all with the promise read more

The Punisher #21, Up is Down and Black is White, Part 3 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 7, 2019
Every once and a while I wonder if I’m too liberal in my use of the term “bridging issue” to quickly describe how a writer uses an issue to set up the second half or next part of an arc. Then I’ll read a comic like Punisher MAX #21 and it’s exactly what I’m talking about. There have been read more
