The Punisher #38, Man of Stone, Part 2 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 8, 2019
Why is the only thing Fernandez unable to reliably draw, even with his much improved (and self-inked) Man of Stone style… why can’t he draw the Punisher? Frank’s out of action the entire issue, literally sitting around on the telephone, and Fernandez can’t seem to figure out how to draw read more
Smiling Woman (2019, Alex Magaña)
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 8, 2019
Smiling Woman runs just under three minutes, which is too short. It needs at least another minute; frustratingly, the material’s already there, the film rushes through it. The establishing shots and the point of view shots from lead Ariel Fullinwider are too quick. Even though they're quick an read more

All Rise (2019) s01e07 – Uncommon Women and Mothers
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 7, 2019
Tony Denison is finally back. Not for very long in sort of a “let’s defer Tony Denison some more” way, but it’s nice he’s back. It gives second-billed but at least fourth in the show’s heart Wilson Bethel something else to do this episode besides prosecute extremely sympathetic non-binary read more

Eegah (1962, Arch Hall Sr.)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 6, 2019
Eegah is a rather bad, rather weird, and yet spirited budget King Kong picture—with a prehistoric Southern California caveman instead of a giant ape. Sure, there’s the teen idol aspect to it, but once the film commits to damsel in distress Marilyn Manning madly crushing on survived since the Stone read more

All Rise (2019) s01e06 – Fool for Liv
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 6, 2019
Something about this episode feels like it ran into the show’s budget. Though there’s some location shooting. Kind of a lot of it, but there’s no action at the locations. There’s standing or sitting. And it’s never on the A plot, always B or even C. On the A plot, outside Jere Burns as a terribly read more
The Punisher #37, Man of Stone, Part 1 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 6, 2019
Leandro Fernandez is back on the art, inking himself, and he’s better than he’s ever been before. There are still some panels where it’s clear colorist Dan Brown is doing a lot of the shading, but overall it’s a big improvement over Fernandez’s usual art. The issue brings together a lot of read more

Supergirl (2015) s05e05 – Dangerous Liaisons
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 5, 2019
This episode could be a lot worse. It does have some significant lows—like when Azie Tesfai has to pretend to cry, which she’s absurdly bad at doing. Like, it’s uncomfortable. Especially when you realize they went with the best take. Got to be able to cry on “Supergirl,” it’s one of the read more
It’s hobby
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 5, 2019
My real writer friend has a real writer problem right now, which puts things in a lot of context. In grad school my best instructor/the best instructor in terms of encouraging writerly behavior and practices surprised us once by saying to call yourself a writer you need to be published. Thinking ab read more

Blinded by the Light (2019, Gurinder Chadha)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 4, 2019
What’s not clear about Blinded by the Light is how much of the film’s success is because of lead Viveik Kalra or because about ninety straight minutes of soundtrack consists of The Best of Bruce Springsteen. The film, based on an actual British Pakistani Springsteen stan, is about teenager Kalra read more

Batwoman (2019) s01e05 – Mine Is a Long and a Sad Tale
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 4, 2019
This episode has no awesome Batwoman action. The only Batwoman action scene is not very good, in fact. It’s all that stealthy Batman Begins type action as Batwoman breaks into estranged sister and supervillain Alice’s base and takes her prisoner, presumably leaving all the thugs unconscious… read more
