The Punisher #31, Barracuda, Part 1 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 16, 2019
Punisher #31 starts off with a couple surprises. First is Goran Parlov on the art. Parlov’s excellent. He’s the best artist the book’s had in a long time. Second is Ennis using a flashback device. The issue starts with sharks chowing down on a bunch of fresh bodies and Frank watching from a boat. read more
Night Hunter (2018, David Raymond)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 15, 2019
The first act of Night Hunter, which is just as stupid as the film’s original title, Nomis, but has nothing to do with the movie itself—unless Night Hunter refers to “lead” Henry Cavill, who at one point tells his daughter, played by Emma Tremblay, how he was a great SWAT cop until she was born. read more

Hopefully
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 15, 2019
I’m changing up my posting schedules. Cutting back on Visual Reflux basically. VR is actually the most work because of the screenshots. My workflow on prepping them is a pain. Then Comics Fondle, because even though there are the header images on Stop Button, comic book panel grabs are tough. read more

The Shadow of the Tower (1972) s01e08 – The Princely Gift
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 14, 2019
I can’t say if this episode, The Princely Gift, is better than the previous episode, which was the comedy. Gift is about a Venetian navigator, played by Londoner Derek Smith with an accent you’d think was a little strong even in 1972. He’s working with these three businessmen from Bristol who read more

So many feelings
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 14, 2019
I’m in a foul mood today. Like, fuck Columbus Day. It was a long day—with some highlights, got to see people, had positive social interactions and whatnot—but the day had already been a little shitty by that time and I was intentionally compartmentalizing my post-traffic rage—wow, post-traffic read more
Parasite (2019, Bong Joon-ho)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 13, 2019
Metaphor is a luxury item in Parasite. First act lead Choi Woo-sik excitedly talks about the metaphorical when things are still going well. Choi, a floundering, unemployed early twenty-something from an unemployed floundering family, lucks into the perfect gig—tutoring a rich teenager with her Engl read more

Becker (1998) s01e10 – P.C. World
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 13, 2019
There are some weird optics to P.C. World. You’ve got Ted Danson, who just six years earlier burned out due to a really bad public blackface incident and is coming back with this “Becker” show, reformed. Now, Danson’s gone on to be one of the least problematic Hollywood liberals and a damn fine read more

The Shadow of the Tower (1972) s01e07 – A Fly in the Ointment
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 12, 2019
“In the Shadow of the Tower” has been getting really good, but it hasn’t done anything like A Fly in the Ointment in the ointment before. When I grokked the format—different directors, different writers, maybe not everything from King James Maxwell’s perspective (though tellingly zilch so read more

Adam’s Rib (1949, George Cukor)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 11, 2019
Adam’s Rib has a great script (by Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin), but outside director Cukor not being as energetic as he could be—he might’ve been able to compensate—the script is the biggest problem with the film. There are the really obvious problems, like when Spencer Tracy gets reduced to read more
