Just watched it, the credits are rolling now. I’m not sure how to swallow this barf in my mouth. Dug the masturbation scenes though. Definitely falls into the category of what us 90s kids called a butter face. My wife said It won all kinds of awards. Wtf I guess the awards were participation awards or the like.

I have yet to figure out why that movie got Oscar's recognition but yet, Oscar did not recognize Looney Tunes.

Strange Days indeed Mr. Morrison.

I have not seen it, but I have not read a positive review by a regular person.

Probably its directly related to why a Korean language movie about class warfare and social justice won best picture ahead of Sam Mendes haunting and beautiful and exceptionally acted and executed WWI story "1917"

Yeah tried it and kind of just ended with a "huh, ok". I kept expecting it to go in a different direction. His weakest movie that I've seen and I like a lot of Del Toros stuff. Wonder if it was a catch up award when it won.

I never attached any meanness to the term, just that I learned the word (without any inkling of bigotry or racism). I’m old 73.

This roughing up Asians bugs me a lot. Asian folks I’ve met have been the nicest folks, smart, courteous makes it easy to be around.

Made me sick to see the man who was slashed ear to ear & the old mommasan thrown down hitting her head on the curb. Really pissed me off. I could dispose of these thugs without a care and the go to communion never asking forgiveness. I’m not a tough guy, just don’t like decent people bullied and hurt.


I apologize for drifting, just saw this BS on the news.

By stupid people mostly. If you were in several other parts of the world and said "Asians", they would assume you meant people from India and there 'bouts. If you said oriental, they'd know who you meant.

Thank you! I appreciate not being crazy with this new woke thinking. I’m staying just like I was raised.

This was an odd one for Guillermo Del Toro..I didn't have much a post-show reaction other than, 'that was an odd one'. Solid cast, Shannon plays a good heavy.

Shannon plays Shannon. He's got one character, which he trots out for just about every show or movie in which he's cast.

But with all the practice he gets, he's at least good at playing that one character. Big Grin

The movie didn’t do much for me. I’d much rather an older Clint western than watching ‘The Shape of Water’.

Me thinks it was some politically correct award reasoning.

Not unwatchable but not great either. del Toro's other works like Pan's Labyrinth and The Devil's Backbone were great cinema.

Even Hellboy was worth a viewing.

LOL! Indeed. The vast majority of Shannon's roles are variations of the same, if he plays his cards right, he can be the second coming of Christopher Walken; an actor full of idiosyncrasies and affectations, which end up defining his career.

I liked it okay. Sally Hawkins is one of those women who can look "different" depending on....well, anything. LOL I thought she was cute in that Godzilla movie.

This is Abe Sapien's origin story. LOL

Yeah, it was just alright, to me.

A decent episode in The Shannon Chronicles.
