I suffer from the payday shopping syndrome. Got some cash, want to get something new and shiny. It’s not the best thing, but it’s far better than spending too much credit, which isn’t payday dependent. Yesterday I finally bit the Ulysses bullet and didn’t just download the app for its fourteen read more
The Trouble with Harry (1955, Alfred Hitchcock)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 8, 2019
The Trouble with Harry is very cute. It’s fine, the film’s intentionally cute, but it’s also somewhat frustrating. With the exception of the glorious Technicolor exteriors of Vermont leaves, director Hitchcock and photographer Robert Burks don’t do anything particularly interesting. John Michael read more

I made my 2019 blogging decisions, including the Comics Fondle one, which I didn’t know I hadn’t made. I’m not doing short posts on it anymore. I’m going to do as deep of a dive as I did on Love and Rockets on any issue. I have no idea what I’m reading next for it but I might stock up a bunch read more

Moon Knight (2019, Caden Butera)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 6, 2019
Technically, Moon Knight is awesome. Excellent composition, photography, editing. Director Butera also edits, also handles some of the photography. Unfortunately he also wrote the script, which is terrible. Moon Knight is so terrible outside those technical qualities–sadly, costuming is not one of read more

Bright ideas
The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 5, 2019
Some time ago I added an “Index by rating” page on The Stop Button. I don’t add new features to the site based on things I’d used, I add them based on whether or not the idea strikes me at the time. There’s a bunch of unpublished and deleted features for the site, with read more
Sensitivity Training (2016, Melissa Finell)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 4, 2019
Sensitivity Training is… an easy (but not in a pejorative way) comedy with winning (but not in a sarcastic way) lead performances. It’s never daring, but it has some good laughs. It’s better than middle of the road but it there’s not much exciting about it. Director Finell does a great job with read more

Cat pee
The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 3, 2019
I’ve been sort of dreading today’s Summing Up post. I tried brainstorming, riffing, etc. Got nowhere. Mostly thought in circles. Then I realized it’s the perfect time for the cat pee post. Because last night, when I discovered Fozzy peed all over one of my slippers to protest bein read more
Mikey and Nicky (1976, Elaine May)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 2, 2019
The first hour of Mikey and Nicky is trying to decide if you’re going to like either of them. Because they don’t deserve sympathy, it’s just whether you’re going to like them. It’s possible to be sympathetic to Peter Falk (Mikey) while still liking John Cassavettes (Nicky). The movie runs read more
