Sum Up | Utility Man: Josh Hartnett, O, and the Blood at the Root
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 25, 2019
Tim Blake Nelson’s O adapts Shakespeare’s Othello as a modern, moody, lush, teenage Southern Gothic. Sixteenth century Venice becomes a South Carolina prep school, Palmetto Grove, in the late 1990s; Venice’s armies become the school’s basketball team, the Hawks. The Hawks are crushing it this read more

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

Irreversible (2012, David Levinson)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 23, 2019
Irreversible is blissfully unaware of itself. It’s the story of dude-bro Timothy Paul Driscoll breaking up with girlfriend Alice Hunter, then the story of their relationship in reverse. Get it, irreversible? Reversible? Get it? How writer and director Levinson lifts the title and narrative device read more

Younger selves
The Stop Button Posted by on May 23, 2019
One thing I do now when blog writing is spend however long I want on it. The whole reason for Stop Button’s old 250 word count constraint and Comics Fondle’s 150 one was so I wasn’t spending too much time writing blog posts. I wanted to be quick at it. Not so much anymore. Now I just go. I don’t read more

Introvert blogging
The Stop Button Posted by on May 22, 2019
The first blog comment I ever got—on jablog—made me question the whole idea of starting a blog. It certainly affected how much I was going to engage with commentators. Back in the early days of blogging, when you read every kind of blog because there were (relatively) so few, people made comments read more
Lights Out (2016, Savannah Bloch)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 21, 2019
Lights Out gets obvious way too fast given it’s a five minute short. The film opens with Alixzandra Dove in a mostly dark house, folding clothes while she talks to a friend on the phone. There’s a little exposition from the phone call—Dove’s kid has outgrown some clothes, Dove’s partner has read more

Unfettered verbosity
The Stop Button Posted by on May 21, 2019
When I started Visual Reflux, it was going to be all my web-writing. I wouldn’t launch A Televisual Feast, I’d roll Comics Fondle into VR immediately and start thinking about bringing Stop Button in too. If it were 2005 and I hadn’t spent fourteen years blogging at thestopbutton.com, it might read more

The Stop Button Posted by on May 20, 2019
After yesterday’s post, I looked at what I had to do today and figured I’d really be able to get that post about blog comments done. I had more time today than I did yesterday. I really should’ve been able to do it. But I didn’t even check to see if I can still track down those Fred Dekker comments read more
