The Hot Zone (2019)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jun 1, 2019
I don’t get to make this statement very often anymore and even less about bestsellers and TV miniseries but I’ve read the book. The Hot Zone. I’ve read the book by Richard Preston (who is sadly not this guy, Robert Preston). Well, okay, I haven’t read the book. I listened to the book. It’s read more
My Scientology Movie (2015, John Dower)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 31, 2019
My Scientology Movie almost ought to be called Our Scientology Movie as much of the film plays like a buddy movie between documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux and ex-Scientology chief enforcer Marty Rathbun. Theroux doesn’t want to make a buddy movie with Rathbun, he wants to go and tour the Sciento read more

Olden Times
The Stop Button Posted by on May 30, 2019
I can’t remember the first time I discovered The Stop Button made it on Wayback Machine. It was a long time ago, maybe when I was trying to pad out content moving over to Sandvox. Somewhere–at least back then–a bunch of the first Stop Button (hosted on jablog) exists. I’m currently doin read more
Love Exists (1960, Maurice Pialat)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 29, 2019
With a title like Love Exists, it seems reasonable the short might turn around and stop being so intensely depressing, but no. The film, written and directed by Pialat with narration by Jean-Loup Reynold, starts with people leaving the city (Paris) proper for their night in the suburbs. It’s not cl read more

Poor substitutions
The Stop Button Posted by on May 28, 2019
My birthday isn’t until August and I’ve basically gotten myself all the birthday presents I’m going to get myself. Not in the last few months or the last few weeks, but the last few days. Some of them are time-sensitive—Bastille tickets, some limited stock sketchbooks, the new Tardi (someday read more
Caught in a Ham (2019, Miguel Jiron)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 27, 2019
I think I went into Caught in a Ham with unduly high hopes (I’ve been a Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham since 1983) and apparently I’m enough of a purist to be a little upset Spider-Ham loses out on half his four minute cartoon so it can tie into Into the Spider-Verse. There’s also the read more

Tim Blake Nelson’s O adapts Shakespeare’s Othello as a modern, moody, lush, teenage Southern Gothic.

Vicki (1953, Harry Horner)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 24, 2019
Vicki is an object lesson in why not to cast against type. Richard Boone plays an obsessive, highly decorated police veteran who is also supposed to be wimpy (except, literally, when beating up helpless people). About the only time Boone isn’t absurd is when he’s stalking his suspects, breaking read more
