Not exactly, though she did say she is a fan of QT’s work....

I’d write a longer comment, but right now I have drinking to do..

Vive la France!

If it helps you with your hate, you can take solace in knowing that Alexandre Desplat scored The Shape of Water, and he also works with Polanksi in scoring his recent films. So there’s some guilt by association for ya.

I walk past that joint every day at lunchtime and their lines have not picked up to their pre-food poisoning levels, even with the closing of the Boloco that was a couple doors down. (Boloco sure picked the wrong time to close that store - they should’ve kept that one and closed the one around the corner near state…

Does his hat say “Jerry Garcia”?

Does anyone else feel like Eliza is part fish from the get go? That the “scars” are vestigial gills, her being a mute orphan, and being “found by the water” as an infant, all point to her being only part human?

You’re the King, Tiny-E!

Jeff Goldblum’s film “The Tall Guy” pretty much ruined Atkinson for me, as I have always suspected the character RA played in that film ( a stuck up showbiz prat) was exactly how is he in real life.

Hippety Hopper, is that you?

Law and Depp together as romantic partners? I’d watch two hours of that even if it was set at an accounting firm, but in a genre film with wizards and magic, that’s just icing on the cake!

That dude is going to be a hit at the next minstrel show..

The Erol’s in Eastern Market in D.C. was my store, and it was across the street from Popeye’s - way too many “Movie and a 3-Piece” nights to begin to count..

I thought that initially as well, but I am frankly loving it. The only thing that is giving me pause is that it’s looking like the noir private eye film is going to be this version’s Black Freighter, and it’s kinda weak if they are going to re-use that storytelling method again exactly like the the first series did.

re: TSOW, it’s because Elisa is not really fully human -the movie makes it pretty clear that she’s always been part fish-person.

I think you’re being way too kind in your criticism, if I was running that comic and the “artist” tried to get away with lifting images directly from the films and passing it off as their art, their ass would be fired.
