Recorded Live (1975, S.S. Wilson)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 21, 2019
Recorded Live is a student film. So director, writer, and animator Wilson’s flat composition gets some wide latitude. He’s got this silly slapstick score on a sound picture, with John Goodwin getting hired to work at an already strange-sounding TV studio only to arrive there and discover a sack read more

The Purchase Price (1932, William A. Wellman)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 20, 2019
For most of its seventy-ish minute run time, The Purchase Price does really well with the way it does summary. It does so well it never even seems possible the film’s just going to welch on everything in the third act… but rather unfortunately, it does. The big problem is how the film–specifically read more

Love and Rockets #49 (November 1995)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 19, 2019
On the inside front cover, there’s an announcement Love and Rockets #49 is the penultimate issue. Both Bros embrace it, but very, very differently. Beto has this exceedingly disturbing and self-loathing series of short strips, usually starring himself (or an obvious analog). There’s some great art read more
The Sugarland Express (1974, Steven Spielberg)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 18, 2019
After setting up Goldie Hawn and William Atherton as the protagonists, Sugarland Express takes about an hour to get back to them. Hawn and Atherton have an amazing setup–he’s about to get out of prison and has been transferred to pre-release. Hawn comes to visiting day but to break him out. She’s read more

If it’s not asking too much
The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 17, 2019
Back in the days of pretending media piracy on the Internet wasn’t really piracy so much as… what the Internet was meant to do, I came across the Jon Brion-produced version of Fiona Apple’s Extraordinary Machine. I had no idea what I’d gotten, because I was trying to get the read more
The Buccaneer (1938, Cecil B. DeMille)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 16, 2019
Even if you give The Buccaneer a lot of its historical absurdities and classic Hollywood whitewashing, even if you give it a motley crew of murdering (but not raping, good family men) pirates getting giddy and doing a singalong while they row themselves through the bayou to fight for Andrew Jackson read more

De facto
The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 15, 2019
I’m really excited for the new Spider-Man movie. Homecoming was just about everything a Spider-Man movie ought to be, I assume the next one will be the same. Kevin Feige, bald cappy who needed to add P.G.A. behind his name on credits to feel special, he gets it. Because there’s only so read more
Yellow Isn’t a Good Title for Something About Flow
The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 13, 2019
I have a problem maintaining intention between drafts. Think of something, write it, which was fine for short stories. Longer short stories not as much, but 3,000 words? Doable. Easily doable by grad school. Then I started a novel and had to change it up. But I’ve always hated starting a piec read more
Unbreakable (2000, M. Night Shyamalan)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 12, 2019
If Unbreakable wasn’t a one hour and forty-six minute self-aggrandizement from wannabe mainstream-auteur (notice, not mainstream auteur) Shyamalan, it’d somehow be even worse. Because at least if Shyamalan is intentionally doing all these things, making all these choices, it’s a cohesive flop. read more
