Dramatic School (1938, Robert B. Sinclair)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 20, 2019
Given Dramatic School is all about top-billed Luise Rainer’s rise of stage stardom, it might help if she were actually the protagonist of the story, instead of its—occasional—subject. Because Rainer’s got to share the film with a bunch of other characters, none particularly interesting. There’s read more

Robocop: Last Stand #3 (of 8)
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 20, 2019
Robocop: Last Stand #3 gives a great example of what’s lost in the idea of adapting Robocop 1, 2, 3, or 4 to comic books—the damage to Robocop. The movies are all about him getting beat to crap, just about broken, losing limbs, his human face getting revealed, on and on. This issue has something read more

Patterns of Evidence: The Moses Controversy (2019, Tim Mahoney)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 18, 2019
When I decided to write about Patterns of Evidence: The Moses Controversy, it was because I wanted to make the wee dick move of putting it in Stop Button’s rarely used “Cult” category. Thought it’d be funny. Controversy, which never suggests it’ll be anything but writer-director-star Mahoney read more

Robocop: Last Stand #2 (of 8)
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 18, 2019
The previous issue of Robocop: Last Stand had a weird ending; it was truncated. This issue continues that scene and it’s very awkward since the previous context is gone. Maybe Grant’s not so much being quirky with the screenplay adaptation as just not knowing how to break out scenes because this read more
Coming soon
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 17, 2019
I’m probably going to start writing about music on Visual Reflux, but not any time soon. I haven’t even gotten around to the TV yet. I’ve just started the first focused comic responses post-L&R. I’m taking my time on VR. I’m still not sure I like that abbreviation read more
Hard Surfaces (2017, Zach Brown)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 16, 2019
Hard Surfaces is pretty thin. Sometimes it’s translucently thin. The film itself never has any depth, but fairly regularly the actors at least show they could give it some depth, if it weren’t for the thinness. Ostensibly the film’s well-meaning, but that quality comes off as fake. Like writer read more

NoO
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 16, 2019
It’s sort of the end of the first week of Visual Reflux. I soft-launched with the Captain Marvel post last weekend (a few days before Stop Button got it) and I’ve been pretty good about getting up a post a day. Until today. Well, until yesterday. I was a little burned out yesterday, which—as I read more

Sum Up | Luise Rainer: An Incomplete Filmography
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 14, 2019
Between 1932 and 1997, two-time Academy Award winner Luise Rainer—who was the first actor to win more than one Academy Award and the first to win two back-to-back— made a total of fifteen films. Approximately. Austrian Rainer made three German-language films in the early thirties before Hollywood—M read more

Robocop: Last Stand #1 (of 8)
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 14, 2019
Robocop: Last Stand is, conceptually, a tough sell. It’s a comic book adaptation of a movie no one liked (Robocop 3) when it came out twenty years before the first issue of Last Stand dropped. It’s ostensibly based on Frank Miller’s original screenplay, but when a different publisher did a “based read more
