Red Dust (1932, Victor Fleming)
The Stop Button Posted by 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

The Comics Fondle Podcast | Episode 50
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 1, 2019
We know you’ve been waiting… five months for this episode, which makes us even more embarrassed about the audio quality but the episode’s worth it. All three hours of the episode is worth it. That’s right, it’s a three hour extra-sized episode… we cover the Best read more
Crooklyn (1994, Spike Lee)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 28, 2019
Crooklyn is a series of memories. They’re mostly the main character’s memories—and if they’re not, they’re definitely from her perception. The memories start in the spring and go through the summer. Director Lee and his cowriters—and siblings (Crooklyn is semi-autobiographical) Joie Lee read more

Soil
The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 27, 2019
I decided to go ahead with the e-zine version of The Stop Button for one very simple reason. I liked the way they look in Apple’s iOS Books app. The fake spine. Looks neat. Delicious Library guy no doubt. But going through the first year of posts again something struck me. I used “Well” and “So” read more
2046 (2004, Wong Kar-Wai)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 26, 2019
2046 is a very strange sequel. Because it’s most definitely a sequel to In the Mood for Love. Tony Chiu-Wai Leung and Lam Siu Ping are playing the same characters, a few years after that film. But the way writer and director Wong deals with the previous film and its events… he intentionally… well, read more

The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 25, 2019
It’s my second Summing Up post in as many days, which is because I got behind over the weekend. Unfortunately, even though I’ve fiddled around with something, I’m not entirely sure it’ll be something I stick with. I don’t read eBooks. I mean, I do read eBooks, but only when I’m reading a read more
The Lake House (2006, Alejandro Agresti)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 24, 2019
There may be a pseudo-sly Speed reference in The Lake House, which reunites stars Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves, but it’s a spoiler. Unfortunately it is not Bullock’s Speed 2 co-star Jason Patric as her wet towel boyfriend (Patric infamously replaced Reeves in the sequel). Instead, Dylan Wa read more

Announcing the New Amazing
The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 24, 2019
Amazing being subjective. And not even all of it. Not all of the new amazing is mine alone. But things are finally decided. So now for scheduling them. I’m finally committing to a TV blog, albeit one with numerous caveats. It won’t be anything as it airs, not to get too much into how the sausage read more
Sum Up | Eleanor Parker: Oscar Nominee
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 22, 2019
Eleanor Parker did not win any Academy Awards, which is simultaneously obvious and inexplicable. The latter because she obviously deserved one (or six), the former because if she had won any, she’d have been better known in the eighties and nineties, when home video and basic cable drove classic fi read more
