"Shape of Water" Synopsis
Self | March 5, 2018 | PJ-Comix

Posted on 03/05/2018 7:04:15 AM PST by PJ-Comix

Creature From the Black Lagoon meets mute woman at a secret space project in Baltimore run by a 5-star general. They bond over hard boiled egges. They also fall in love and mate in a bathtub. Meanwhile a Redneck tortures the Creature with an Alabama Cattle Prod. Even though the Creature is supposed to be vital for space program research, all the scientists and the 5-star general allow the Redneck to continue torturing the creature. Meanwhile the Russkies attempt to kill the Creature via a kind-hearted Commie spy in the project who won't go along with the murder plot.

Creature escapes and Redneck is enraged because his job is on the line as fingers start rotting from gangrene. Redneck tracks down Creature and mute woman at the docks and shoots both. Creature kills Redneck as latter exclaims, "You really are a god!" Creature recovers from wound instantly then hops into ocean with mute woman who also recovers from wound quickly. They should live together for ever after but one big problem. How does she breath underwater? Instant solution is she grew a pair of gills on her neck. And now they can live happily in the sea forever after.

p.s. One subplot teaches audience that if you reject the advances of a gay person that means you are probably a mean racist who won't allow people of color to eat at a lunch counter.

For a good, underrated movie about human/alien bonding I’d recommend the classic “Starman”.

Simple, clean plot, underscoring the traits that make us human. Plus, when they have sex at least the alien has human DNA.

ET for adults.

I would recommend the KDrama “My Love From the Star”.

Hollywood has hit rock bottom...there was alot of talk about a late comer movie called “GET OUT”...it was nominated kinda late for best picture and there was buzz that it might win..it was about some white girl that took her black boyfriend to meet her rich parents.....so i decided to check it out. I found it online, and here its one of those silly “horror” movies..and the plot is..ready?...the rich parents and the son are surgeons and they steal black peoples brains cuz they think blacks are cool and deep down want to be black..im not kidding..

The Mrs. and I saw this movie too. SHE wanted to watch it, I said, fine.
The Mrs. wanted to walk about a little more than halfway thru, but I said we paid too much for these tickets, we’re gonna see it thru.
The movie sucked rocks.

I was just having fun with it.

Seems pretty clear-cut plagiarism to me.

You might as well not even try going to a Broadway show.

“In Paul Zindel’s play does she put the dolphin in her bathtub and have sex with it?”

well, they to do SOMETHING to update that turkey for the 21st century ... I guess inter-species sex was the only thing they could think of ... not to mention the influence all of those Cialis ads must have had ...

I made the mistake trying to watch that thing on cable with my kids present: starts off with full frontal nudity and goes from there. Had to talk to my kids about the filth Hollywood puts out in the name of entertainment.

Thanks for the synopses.

Reminds me of Rand’s ‘The Fountainhead’ - where the untalented are praised, and real artistry and talent is mocked and dismissed.

In effect, Abe Sapien gets laid while all other sub plots tell us how white males are all racist and evil. I’ll pass.

You’re right. Or any men’s choir outside of a military institution. :)

I remember the Seattle Men’s Choir and thinking, man, the cat fights backstage must be horrific.

“The Mrs. wanted to walk about a little more than halfway thru, but I said we paid too much for these tickets, we’re gonna see it thru.”

yeah, i get it: “I paid GOOD money for this, and I’m gonna get every damned penny’s worth of agony I paid for!”

we quit going because we were walking so much, DESPITE careful research into audience reviews, which now turn out to mostly be fakes by paid trolls anyway, meaning there’s essentially NO good way to pre-judge a movie before going, meaning it’s best to just quit going all together, which is what we did starting at least 10 years ago ...

now with streaming, you waste only a few minutes of your life if you start a turkey and have to quickly abandon it ...

“Creature recovers from wound instantly then hops into ocean . . . “

And dies due to the salinity. Creature is from fresh water.

I was hoping Darkest Hour would be named best picture. Although it takes too much dramatic license with the actual historical events and contains some anachronisms, it is a great story with no sex scenes, nude scenes or profanity. And it even features a cat.

That was my impression. Seems like just another instance where Hollyweird is going to end up with egg all over their face.

Have no desire to see this. Made me think this morning, when was he last time a Best Picture was about a normal nuclear family?
