The Lady from Shanghai (1947, Orson Welles)
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 2, 2019
It’s immaterial to the film overall but I want to talk about how Welles compensates for projection composites looking like projection composites. He changes up his focus, sometimes focusing on the person in the foreground, sometimes not. Is it intentional? Is he really trying to compensate? Well, read more
Mindhunter (2017) s02e06 – Episode 6
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 2, 2019
It’s back to Atlanta again for sure this time. And almost some Jonathan Groff stuff… but also some “is this ‘Mindhunter’ or a slasher movie prologue” stuff with Holt McCallany's home life. There's also another interview for Anna Torv and Joe Tuttle, with Torv once again having read more

The Big Red One (1980, Samuel Fuller)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 1, 2019
The Big Red One is a fairly even split between action and conversation. The film tracks a single squad as they start fighting in North Africa, follow the war into the Mediterranean, participate in D-Day, then go east. The film skips to each event. There’s usually some epilogue to the event, somethi read more

Waitress (2007, Adrienne Shelly)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 31, 2019
For most of its runtime, Waitress is a character study. Writer and director Shelly does give the film an epical arc, which doesn’t get fully revealed until the third act (and, arguably, epilogue), but most of the film is spent watching Keri Russell, her character’s actions, reactions, inactions, read more

Mindhunter (2017) s02e05 – Episode 5
The Stop Button Posted by on Aug 30, 2019
Not only does this episode bring back Ed Kemper (Cameron Britton who deserves all the Emmys) from Season One, who we haven’t seen since he gave Jonathan Groff a hug and sent Groff into a panic attack… it also brings in “Mindhunter”’s Charles Manson, played by Damon Herriman (who also plays read more
Infinity 8: Volume Four: Symbolic Guerilla
The Stop Button Posted by on Aug 30, 2019
It’s been a while since I read any Infinity 8, but it’s the perfect series to return to after a break since each arc is a different take on the same thing. Literally. Each arc has a different (far future) space agent who has a limited time to investigate why an intergalactic graveyard the size of read more

Mindhunter (2017) s02e04 – Episode 4
The Stop Button Posted by on Aug 29, 2019
It’s back to Atlanta for Holden (Jonathan Groff) and Tench (Holt McCallany); there’s been a kidnapping from someone with the same MO as the as yet unnamed Atlanta Child Killer and they’re calling in the FBI. So our leads are going to be in the background until they can prove (or at least convince read more
