As needed
The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 30, 2019
I use streaming services as needed. Want to see that Godzilla anime, time to dust off the Netflix, want to watch “Discovery,” CBSAccess until the season is done. I wasn’t enthusiastic about FilmStruck. I never did Warner Archive streaming even though I should’ve. I don’ read more
The Happy Ending (1969, Richard Brooks)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 29, 2019
Jean Simmons doesn’t smile until over halfway through The Happy Ending. The movie runs almost two hours and has a present action of like eighteen years. The first eight minutes are a mostly wordless summary of John Forsythe courting Jean Simmons in the early fifties. The time period’s n read more

The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 28, 2019
I’m trying to write this blog post and Fozzy (the cat) is sitting on my lap and, while it’s adorable and not exactly distracting, it’s limiting my options, motion-wise. I’ve been through five starts to this post, which probably won’t be longer than 300 words, probably read more
Sum Up | 2018 in Review
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 27, 2019
I didn’t have any big plans for The Stop Button in 2018 other than blogathons and whatever came up. Comics Fondle I was reading all of Love and Rockets, which took more than 2018. But Stop Button… well, marathon training. It was going to take up a lot of time. Of the 157 feature films… the three read more

I got one episode left on “Punisher” Season Two and I’m dreading it. I’ve read skimmed the posts about the concerning finish. Like multi-level concerning finish. And it’s already been a self-indulgent season. Two episodes of selling Jon Bernthal as a heartthrob, the en read more
Icarus XB 1 (1963, Jindrich Polák)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 25, 2019
It’s very difficult, even when an effects shot fails, to not be impressed with director Polák’s practical ambitions with Icarus XB 1. The film needs effects shot-it’s about a starship on twenty-eight month voyage from Earth to Alpha Centauri. The first starship to take that trip. So there’s read more

The Quiet Room (1993, Steven Soderbergh)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 24, 2019
The Quiet Room really, really, really, relies on its twist. The ending is really predictable too; like, director Soderbergh and writer Howard A. Rodman do way too well on the foreshadowing. Because Room is a slightly exaggerated noir–part of the “Fallen Angels” TV anthology– read more

Love and Rockets #50 (May 1996)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 23, 2019
Love and Rockets #50 is a perfectly solid issue of Love and Rockets. Beto’s Palomar farewell is outstanding in its execution, with him employing a lot more comic strip-influenced narrative techniques than usual. He doesn’t have enough room, it’s clear, and some things are rushed. Mario’s back read more
