The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 27, 2019
I decided to go ahead with the e-zine version of The Stop Button for one very simple reason. I liked the way they look in Apple’s iOS Books app. The fake spine. Looks neat. Delicious Library guy no doubt. But going through the first year of posts again something struck me. I used “Well” and “So” read more
2046 (2004, Wong Kar-Wai)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 26, 2019
2046 is a very strange sequel. Because it’s most definitely a sequel to In the Mood for Love. Tony Chiu-Wai Leung and Lam Siu Ping are playing the same characters, a few years after that film. But the way writer and director Wong deals with the previous film and its events… he intentionally… well, read more

The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 25, 2019
It’s my second Summing Up post in as many days, which is because I got behind over the weekend. Unfortunately, even though I’ve fiddled around with something, I’m not entirely sure it’ll be something I stick with. I don’t read eBooks. I mean, I do read eBooks, but only when I’m reading a read more
The Lake House (2006, Alejandro Agresti)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 24, 2019
There may be a pseudo-sly Speed reference in The Lake House, which reunites stars Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves, but it’s a spoiler. Unfortunately it is not Bullock’s Speed 2 co-star Jason Patric as her wet towel boyfriend (Patric infamously replaced Reeves in the sequel). Instead, Dylan Wa read more

Announcing the New Amazing
The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 24, 2019
Amazing being subjective. And not even all of it. Not all of the new amazing is mine alone. But things are finally decided. So now for scheduling them. I’m finally committing to a TV blog, albeit one with numerous caveats. It won’t be anything as it airs, not to get too much into how the sausage read more
Sum Up | Eleanor Parker: Oscar Nominee
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 22, 2019
Eleanor Parker did not win any Academy Awards, which is simultaneously obvious and inexplicable. The latter because she obviously deserved one (or six), the former because if she had won any, she’d have been better known in the eighties and nineties, when home video and basic cable drove classic fi read more

Time constraints
The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 21, 2019
I went into 2019 planning on reading at least a book a week. Six or seven weeks in and I’ve only gotten one book done. I listened to it too, didn’t actually read it. I brought a book with me to read during my lunch break but instead I’m writing this post because Summing Up is on my todo list, read more
The Mighty Quinn (1989, Carl Schenkel)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 20, 2019
Right until the action-packed finale of The Mighty Quinn, there’s nothing the film can do lead Denzel Washington’s charm can’t forgive. But the finale, which incorporates poorly choreographed and poorly shot capoeira (from obvious fight doubles), a helicopter, a machine gun, suddenly awful music read more
