I'm watching Shape of Water as I type this and I'm wondering how the hell did this stinker win Best Picture?

Apart from best production design and possibly best original score (I'd still give that one to PHANTOM THREAD or DUNKIRK), it really didn't deserve anything. Still okay with Guillermo getting director though as it was such a big middle finger to the studio system.

Unlike all the other Oscar categories, Best Picture uses ranked, instant runoff voting to pick a winner. In theory, Shape of Water could have won without getting any first place votes.

Yeah, that system is really weird. I wonder how many of the voters vote dishonestly trying to rig it.

I'm feeling a bit crushed that ScarJo ain't going to play a trannyman.

Leave No Trace - 8/10 - Different, in a good way.
Three Identical Strangers 7/10 - The filmmakers succeed in making a marginally interesting story into a very interesting story, but they can be a bit ham-fisted at times.  Pretty decent soundtrack.

Eight Grade 8.0/10

This could have been cheesy but I think they did a good job of hitting all the right notes.

It's cool to have an 11 year old, I can finally go to films that I might actually pay to see anyway, instead of animated kid's films. I'll leave it to my wife to explain all the blow job references, she likes explaining that stuff anyway, and what girl wants her dad explaining what blow jobs are to her?

So you're saying your daughter doesn't even have the first clue what a blowjob is? Hopefully you took the opportunity to ask her what she thought it was so you could report back her quirky, iconoclastic answer!

Preach.
Isn't oral sex really the best reason in the world to be alive?
