warez posted:He also shows the most empathy/character of them all sans maybe Eliza (it’s been a few months but aren’t Eliza’s friends reluctant to help initially?) I really appreciated how much he's the mad scientist character from any number of these movies from the 50s and 60s and is barely changed at all from that, but is sympathetic. Same with how Michael Shannon's character is a textbook G-man and aside from the occasional profanity would have been the hero if the same script was made a few decades ago.

I feel like people also weren't ready for an "Obama is full of poo poo" movie just then HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:It looks really great too: I'm thinking especially of the poker game robbery scene, Ray Liotta getting his rear end beat in the torrential downpour. Andrew Dominik knows great looking movies

LesterGroans posted:The only gay erotic thrillers I can think of are Single White Female (which I think is mostly subtext and all the actual loving is straight) and maybe Black Swan? Bound (even if technically a lesbian erotic thriller).

Whoa, nobody told me there was going to be interspecies erotica in this one! Pretty hot. That said I'm not sure how I feel about it overall. It's beautifully shot for sure but other than playing with some B-movie tropes a bit I just didn't find it very interesting at all. Also the Russian was loving horrific, somebody should start a hashtag campaign to stop such butchering. If a TV show nobody watches can do it better you done hosed up. E: Speaking of hashtags, I see this was already discussed a few pages ago but yeah there's no way aquaman here could've consented. mobby_6kl fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Mar 12, 2018 |

Killing Them Softly is great but when we talk about an F Cinemascore for it I can’t help but remember my friend who took me to it thinking it was gonna be about Brad Pitt mercing dudes.

Yeah a lot of the low Cinescore movies were cases of "We thought this was going to be something different than what it was."

Shape of Water was alright but of the best picture noms I’ve seen (Dunkirk, Get Out, Ladybird) it was probably my least favorite. I will be using Jenkin’s “If I could go back I would take better care of my teeth and have a lot more sex.” Whenever possible.

Finally saw it. Yeah, I definitely got Koko the Gorilla vibes off the fishman, but I don't think he's meant to be just another animal so I don't understand why people are laying into the consent angle so hard. It was a romance movie through and through. I wasn't able to suspend my belief enough to believe that it was set in Baltimore, though. I get that it's fantasy but I don't think a version of Baltimore exists where there isn't garbage floating in the water.

According to an interview, Del Toro set the film in Baltimore because he's a fan of Barry Levinson and John Waters.

We need to get John Waters to remake this asap.

The consent angle is especially weird as a complaint, since the fishman initiates contact, and its unmistakable sensual contact. Also, he's shown to be perfectly capable of standing up for himself.
