Le coup du berger (1956, Jacques Rivette)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jul 31, 2019
I wish Le coup du berger had some kind of subtitle, like An Experiment in Head Room. Something to acknowledge the short’s constant issues with framing. It’s not clear who’s responsibly for the lousy head room. Director Rivette is the obvious culprit; there are a lot of shots where people move read more

Social-less Micro.blog
The Stop Button Posted by on Jul 30, 2019
I’m not sure if I’ve written at length about micro.blog; I might have over at Summing Up before. But I don’t have any tags or categories for the majority of the older posts and… I’m not doing a deep dive to find it. Basically, I was waiting for micro.blog to launch (knowing about it because read more
Punks Not Dead: London Calling
The Stop Button Posted by on Jul 29, 2019
No spoilers, but Punks Not Dead: London Calling is obviously the last Punks Not Dead for a while. It’s the second Punks Not Dead series and it’s excellent, but it’s clearly finite when you’re reading the early issues. It’s a wrap-up series. It’s not growing. Writ read more
In a Lonely Place (1950, Nicholas Ray)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 27, 2019
Watching the opening titles of In a Lonely Place, I wished the design had allowed for it to appear like it was saying “Humphrey Bogart in A Lonely Place.” Just because. But it doesn’t. And wouldn’t really be appropriate either as it’s unclear, some ninety minutes later, if Bogart was indeed read more

Narc (2002, Joe Carnahan)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 26, 2019
In addition to starring in Narc, Ray Liotta also produced, which makes sense because the film gives him a great part. Narc is about disgraced ex-cop Jason Patric getting back on the job because the department (Detroit, with Toronto standing in but never noticeably) has a dead cop and they need a fr read more

Dreck’s not an adjective
The Stop Button Posted by on Jul 24, 2019
It’s been a week since my last Visual Reflux post. Soft renovating the garage to make it a cat paradise takes up a lot of time, even if it doesn’t take up a lot of mental space. I also sort of forgot where I was going with VR after my last post; I went from a post about all the blogathons I’ve read more
The Swindlers (2017, Jang Chang-won)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 23, 2019
The Swindlers is all about being all about the con movie. No one in the film is meant to be trusted, though some of the characters are more sympathetic than others. The film is full of twists—the titular Swindlers aren’t a well-functioning unit, but a collection of blackmailed con artists and read more

The Punisher #18, Mother Russia, Part 6 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jul 23, 2019
It’s a perfect comic. There’s no big Punisher action, no rampant gun porn, just high levels of espionage action as Frank figures out how they’re going to escape the missile silo as he delivers on his threat to fire nukes on Moscow. Meanwhile the Russian general’s reaction scene is another beauty read more

And here’s the issue where Ennis goes for the heartstrings. Frank’s got to save the little girl, which ends up being a fantastic sequence. The issue opens with the hijacked airliner getting shot down; the response to it, both from the Russian general and Fury, are the B plot for the issue. Frank’s read more
