kudos to The Shape Of Water for being a good movie that just so happens to have a plot point where a woman fucks a fishman. Get Out was good too

I saw phantom thread and was surprised how good it was. Expected a boring romance where the Difficult Man is won over by the Sensible Woman and um
....

Going in I didn't know it was PT Anderson directing so I did not expect the weird darkness of it. It moves along well and it's fun talking about afterwards

one of my friends mentioned that its plot is similar to the "Family" episode of Check It Out

I think Shape of Water is gonna win best pic

i thought it was gonna go to Lady Bird because it allows Hollywood to feel good about itself for bringing attention to sexism while doing nothing to actually solve the problem. but a friend of mine talked about how Shape of Water is an homage to old Hollywood in a way, and i changed my mind. there's nothing the academy likes than a flattering portrayal of old Hollywood

on the other hand, i was convinced La La Land would win last year for the same reason, so what do i know, really

yep, Shape of Water won. it's just OK plotwise but it's a great movie visually
