The Shape of Water
    (really needed a vomit emoticon here)
Just Hollyweird at it's stupidest - count how many cultural cliches, politically correct and incorrect statements and stereotypical garbage you can put into the first 30 minutes, let alone the entire film.
You just know that a film is going to be sensational when the first 5 minutes sees a mute woman masturbating in a bath tub.
J U S T pure C A C A. GARBAGE! TRIPE.
What a waste of my 30 minutes (because heavens knows I couldn't sit through the rest of that poo)

I'll give it a miss then. I sat through Geostorm last night, a chunk of my life that I won't get back.

I can't believe you lasted 30 minutes. It's not even a "good" bad movie.

It obviously only won the Oscar because of all the politically correct/social boxes it ticks (pun...intended LOL).
Just more Yank brainwashing...

And they give best picture to a film that has potentially plagiarised work from a pulitzer prize winner ?

Don't know why you guys would even watch the Oscars,  see how much time you all combined wasted.

It's ok Leon, I think they used Kappa-Sigma Clipping when combining, so the deviant ones were rejected.

I don't watch the Oscars, too many whingers... didn't realize it had won until this thread.
It just got released on Amazon Video, will probably wait until it's free before I waste the time (i.e. less than 5 minutes before I turn it off)

That's a shame. Pan's Labyrinth was pretty good.

Agreed, very clever.
My wife enjoyed 'TSOW' but it didn't impress me much. Some interesting retro looks but a bit of a cliché all round.

Some strong views here. That's enough of an incentive for me to watch it.

I just came back from watching "Finding Your Feet", - a pommie semi-comedy starring Timothy Spall among several others well knowns.
I won't give any spoilers, but this would have to be one of the best I've seen in a while; certainly better than "The Winchester House" that we saw last week. I think Helem Mirren let herself down somewhat by being in that imo.
