The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957, Jack Arnold)
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 9, 2019
The Incredible Shrinking Man is an enormous feat. It succeeds thanks to director Arnold, writer Richard Matheson, and star Grant Williams. Arnold’s arguably got the greatest successes; he carefully lays the groundwork for the film’s eventual startling visuals. To get to the startling ones, Arnold’s read more

Over the last week, I’ve been fiddling with setting up visualreflux.com. I tried really hard to get Linode working and sort of got it running, but not with the feature set I need. Or want. Or am willing to pay any money for. So EasyWP.com because Namecheap got me away from Godaddy back during the read more
Tell Your Children (1936, Louis J. Gasnier)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 7, 2019
Tell Your Children, or Reefer Madness, is sort of mundanely bad. Sure, Carl Pierson’s editing somehow pads shots to make the sixty-six minute movie drag even more than it does because of the terrible script and bad acting, but the script is just dumb and bad. There’s nothing exciting about it, othe read more

Peloponnesian Cliffs
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 6, 2019
En France… whoops, sorry. In France, Hercules came out in three forty-eight pages volumes. The first came out in 2012, the second in 2013, the third in 2017. It appears each volume is going to be one of Hercules’s twelve labors. Are they called labors? I spent about fifteen minutes trying to read more

Rat Race (2001, Jerry Zucker)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 5, 2019
If you had told me there was a movie with John Cleese in funny fake teeth and Smash Mouth as a plot point (a positive one), I don’t know I would’ve believed it. But if there is going to be a movie with John Cleese in funny fake teeth and Smash Mouth as in a positive cameo… it’s going to be a read more

In Threes and Fours: Christmas Alien
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 4, 2019
I’m really impressed with Johnnie Christmas’s Alien 3 from Dark Horse. No doubt they’ll lose their Fox licenses to Marvel, who should just have Disney buy Dark Horse at this point, since it would simplify reprints and give Marvel a better back catalogue. Because someday Disney and AT&T read more

One of the things I’m trying to figure out for Comics Fondle and Televisual Feast is if I want to just do episode-specific posts, or if I want to do an additional column. I think I’m leaning column in addition. Because I need to talk about this week’s “Orville” being a spectacular feat. Or read more
It Happened in Hollywood (1937, Harry Lachman)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 2, 2019
It Happened in Hollywood is very nearly a success, which is surprising since most of the film is entirely mediocre. There’s a great lead performance from Richard Dix, as a silent movie cowboy who can’t make it in talkies (though, to be fair, the one bombed screen-test scene was more used to comment read more

Red Dust (1932, Victor Fleming)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 1, 2019
I’m not sure how much would be different about Red Dust if the film weren’t so hideously racist, particularly when it comes to poor Willie Fung (as the houseboy), but at least it wouldn’t go out on such a nasty note. Especially since the finale, despite being contrived, at least plays to the film’s read more
