Une histoire d’eau (1961, François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 6, 2019
Une histoire d’eau has a sense of humor, which ought to do it some favors, but none of the humor connects. The short, which co-director Truffaut apparently intended to be a romance, is instead this rushed, peculiar… blathering would be the best word for it, I think. D’Eau is about college student read more

Superbad (2007, Greg Mottola), the unrated version
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 4, 2019
Superbad is exceptionally funny. In terms of how often you lose your breath from laughing, it’s hard to think of a better movie than Superbad. Watching Superbad probably burns between 118 and 315 calories. This unrated version anyway. The rated version would burn about four minutes less. Next time read more

Gregory’s Girl (1980, Bill Forsyth)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 2, 2019
At no point in Gregory’s Girl does writer and director Forsyth wait for the audience. He’s not hurried, he’s not hostile, he’s just not repeating himself. Ever. The result is a whimsical but grounded film, not exploring much more than its characters could handle and often tr read more

Le coup du berger (1956, Jacques Rivette)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 31, 2019
I wish Le coup du berger had some kind of subtitle, like An Experiment in Head Room. Something to acknowledge the short’s constant issues with framing. It’s not clear who’s responsibly for the lousy head room. Director Rivette is the obvious culprit; there are a lot of shots where people move read more

Social-less Micro.blog
The Stop Button Posted by on Jul 30, 2019
I’m not sure if I’ve written at length about micro.blog; I might have over at Summing Up before. But I don’t have any tags or categories for the majority of the older posts and… I’m not doing a deep dive to find it. Basically, I was waiting for micro.blog to launch (knowing about it because read more
Punks Not Dead: London Calling
The Stop Button Posted by on Jul 29, 2019
No spoilers, but Punks Not Dead: London Calling is obviously the last Punks Not Dead for a while. It’s the second Punks Not Dead series and it’s excellent, but it’s clearly finite when you’re reading the early issues. It’s a wrap-up series. It’s not growing. Writ read more
In a Lonely Place (1950, Nicholas Ray)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 27, 2019
Watching the opening titles of In a Lonely Place, I wished the design had allowed for it to appear like it was saying “Humphrey Bogart in A Lonely Place.” Just because. But it doesn’t. And wouldn’t really be appropriate either as it’s unclear, some ninety minutes later, if Bogart was indeed read more
