The Buccaneer (1938, Cecil B. DeMille)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 16, 2019
Even if you give The Buccaneer a lot of its historical absurdities and classic Hollywood whitewashing, even if you give it a motley crew of murdering (but not raping, good family men) pirates getting giddy and doing a singalong while they row themselves through the bayou to fight for Andrew Jackson read more

De facto

I’m really excited for the new Spider-Man movie. Homecoming was just about everything a Spider-Man movie ought to be, I assume the next one will be the same. Kevin Feige, bald cappy who needed to add P.G.A. behind his name on credits to feel special, he gets it. Because there’s only so read more
Yellow Isn’t a Good Title for Something About Flow
The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 13, 2019
I have a problem maintaining intention between drafts. Think of something, write it, which was fine for short stories. Longer short stories not as much, but 3,000 words? Doable. Easily doable by grad school. Then I started a novel and had to change it up. But I’ve always hated starting a piec read more
Unbreakable (2000, M. Night Shyamalan)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 12, 2019
If Unbreakable wasn’t a one hour and forty-six minute self-aggrandizement from wannabe mainstream-auteur (notice, not mainstream auteur) Shyamalan, it’d somehow be even worse. Because at least if Shyamalan is intentionally doing all these things, making all these choices, it’s a cohesive flop. read more

Love and Rockets #48 (August 1995)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 11, 2019
Two issues to go, but no countdown clock other than Beto promising a last visit to Palomar in #50. Now, he got me once before with that Farewell, My Palomar story so I’m not sure I’d have believed him back in 1995. Because the Jaime story, despite dealing with Maggie trying to tie up the loose ends read more
The Window (2000, Jono Oliver)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 10, 2019
The Window opens with a crowd on the street, looking up. There’s a title card, so it’s a good bet they’re all looking at a window. Pretty soon the cops show up–it’s set in Flatbush, Brooklyn–and ask what’s going on. Some people see Jesus up in the window, some people don’t. But it’s read more

I’m a sucker for “ambitious” licensed tie-ins
The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 9, 2019
I literally just came up with this topic. It’s 4:38 PM and I’m typing, it was 4:37 PM when I saw the tweet inspiring this subject matter. Dark Horse Comics is doing an Alien3 comic based on William Gibson’s unproduced screenplay, which might not be any good. It’s been availa read more
The Critic (1963, Ernest Pintoff)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 8, 2019
At just about three minutes of “action,” The Critic is the perfect length. It opens with some abstract animation–black shapes dancing around variously colored backgrounds, as active (versus tranquil) classical music plays. The designs get more complex, but for the first thirty seconds (so read more

The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 7, 2019
So in the olden days you had the “Hello, World” post to start. It’s always fun clicking through to some linked blog in a comment to find that single post, like the person intended on doing a blog and just didn’t. Or maybe WordPress makes you a blog when you sign up, which so read more
