I distinctly heard: "I confess that I was involved in an illegal hunting trip in India five years ago along with several prominent officials from the Mayor of Atlantic City's office, and that said trip was financed with misappropriated public funds meant for the renovation of the Home for Crippled Orphans." "My only regret is not killing more tigers"
I don't know what to tell you OP. TJ and Paul are good friends if not best friends. So of course they're going to show up together in videos for this channel.
The only thing I enjoyed were the visuals (not surprising considering the director). Strickland was the most overly evil character I've ever seen. It was honestly really silly and made me chuckle a couple of times. The whole movie just feels very "Disney". The way they tried to make the main character into some kind of quirky Disney princess complete with a musical daydream just made me cringe. At some point she makes one of the most nonsensical decisions ever for the sake of an audience collectively going "aaaaw". I may have gone in to this movie expecting something more of a monster movie with a strange love subplot, but this type of movie is something I can never enjoy regardless of expectations.
Boyfriend introduced me to your channel and I fell in love. And I love how your set up is like a reverse of Mysterg Science Theatre. Keep making videos, as you have a new loyal fan.
Nice review man. I like how you don't give away too many details but at the same time can strongly convey your thoughts on the movie. Well done. There aren't many channels that I watch consistently but this is one of them. Keep it up!
Judging by the trailer and some of the reviews, it seems this flick is yet another conservatism-bashing-festival with religion and tradition cast as cartoony villains. That would certainly explain the tidal wave of oscar nominations. In other words - no, thank you.
I watched this channel from the start, but I only picked up this movie a few months ago. I'm a big Del Toro fan, but I had been a bit burned out from his last few movies that I thought were sub par. I loved this one, though. Glad to have it in my collection.
I liked Pan's Lab. and mostly enjoyed Hellboy, but didn't care much for Shape of Water. Probably because of the focus on romance. I don't mind a good romance in a film, but I want interesting elements to be built around that, not for it to be the focus.
Shape of Water was a lazy, half assed, feel good film with poorly written characters, shit tons of loopholes, and only serves to give a hamfisted liberal message that is almost necessary for a movie to make it in Hollywood these says. So of course it wins best picture
What are you talking about? I thought the movie was great, the connection between the monster and Sally Hawkins character was great. Those two characters had such great chemistry, all from two characters who didn't speak one word.
Do you think Abe Sapien from Hellboy films/comics is a better fish humanoid man who is of human level intelligence and is a consenting adult who can have a relationship with another consenting adult of a different race (human, furry, xeno, mutant or cyborg) and his romance with the elf woman was done better than here as the asset is more animalistic minded and more on the level of Ferringo's Hulk or a wild animal with a child-like mind?
You do know the Oscars are a joke right? The winner is the one willing to pay the most money to win. Some people give the judges money others give fancy watches.
I was so nervous to see this pop up in my sub box, I didn't know if you would hate this movie or not! It's definitely my favorite movie to come out of 2017, personally, and del Toro is my favorite director. I followed the production of the movie for months and months since it was announced del Toro would be making it and wasn't disappointed when I finally got to see it. God the ending was beautiful. However I definitely agree that Michael Shannon was snubbed- he played the evil sonuvabitch role so well and the scenes with his finger were acted out so amazingly.
I loved the imagination of Pan's Labyrinth but I absolutely hated that it depresses you through the entire thing and leaves you depressed even after it's over. I wanted to love that movie but I hate it because it doesn't give you anything in return for putting you through depressing moment after depressing moment and that's not the kind of writing that I want in my movies. I hope this one is better and it probably will be better.
Not sure if you have seen Bone Tomahawk but Richard Jenkins is amazing in that, also a great flick, please review it. Your patreon, 1 buck, 5 bucks or 75 bucks!? You need a wider spread. cheers.
I did not like it, all my co-workers were so psyched about it that's why I watched it. But uhg.. did not even finish it. The acting was really good but the story was just lame. Egg anyone?
I would love to hear your cynical view on the movie Bright (netflix) I personally saw that film as a complete waste of time and would have rather have spent 2 hours with diarrhea while on the phone with my ex-mother in law
tbh this was my least favorite of his films i've seen yet. the bad guy was so overtly bad that it was obnoxious. like i almost couldn't believe it. it was a beautiful movie to look at and it had some redeeming qualities, but over all i didn't like it all that much. which is unfortunate bc i was really looking forward to seeing it and he's one of my favorite directors. i don't get the oscar buzz.
Paul, I sincerely hope for you to reinstate your essay style reviews. Although you are admittedly an interesting person to listen to, your essays far surpass the ad lib approach demonstrated here. Either way, thanks for what you do.
And also common that aqua monster looks just like the other one with eyes on the hands. ALSO of course the evil ones are straight white males xD and the black woman got lifted.
this movie was straight forward and boring and nonsensical. Michael Shannon had no ambiguity or shade of grey. The movie was black and white with good and evil. There was no redeeming qualities for Shannon. the main character is somehow left alone for hours on end, out in the open with a sea creature. It just doesn't make any sense and the movie is a series of hugging and romance between mute characters and shannon looking for them. It's just ridiculously over the top and tries too hard and doesn't deserve a nomination for anything, other than maybe costume and set design. I did not feel the love between the 2 main characters and it felt entirely forced and contrived that they both have this disability. In my opinion, better than an average schlock horror movie, but worse than practically any blockbuster this year with a decent budget. Just completely overrated. If you're looking for a romantic movie that is actually good, look no further than "The Big Sick". 100x better of a film.
defialpro the big sick was just another typical sjw garbage propaganda shit movie the mainstream millennial snowflakes loved. Don’t even try comparing this to a piece of shit like that
Kyros Droztamyr Now mainstream media networks are praising black panther because it has an all black cast. White people have to wake up before it’s too late and realize what the minorities are trying to do
The message i was getting from Chauncey was: "Water has no shape, it fills and fits whatever container it is placed within!" Chauncey 2018
I distinctly heard: "I confess that I was involved in an illegal hunting trip in India five years ago along with several prominent officials from the Mayor of Atlantic City's office, and that said trip was financed with misappropriated public funds meant for the renovation of the Home for Crippled Orphans."
"My only regret is not killing more tigers"
Chauncey understands Love.
i thought this was an Abe Sapien origin story.
Storie Grubb so did I when I sarted watching this film . Good movie for a change
Ocean man, take me by the hand, lead me to land that you understand...
The fact that Blade Runner 2049 isn't nominated for best picture, let alone other nominations that it didn't get is criminal.
imo
Amen.
But what do you expect from the film industry?
imo
is not criminal, is just the PC culture. Of course the "minorities" get all the prize, straight white males being toxic? ewww, no.
If it did get nominated, it wouldn't be a true sequel to the original.
Stop whining, DJ.
After seeing it I'm glad all I did was rent it for 6$. Wasn't a bad movie, but not fantastic either.
Speaking of del Torro, his TV adaptation of the books The Strain. Very much worth a watch and read.
"The Shape Of Water," aka "Somebody Stole My Gillman Fanfic And I Want My Damn Money."
of all the beastiality films celebrated as great works of art, this one's my favorite
Swamp Ape was better
It’s a sequel to H.P. Lovecraft’s “Shadow Over Innsmouth”
A mute main character?!
Yeah... Oscar shit for sure...
Nice try, but 1791L told me it was bad, and he does my thinking for me /s
FUCKING HELL PAUL!!!!
This was the first movie review in months. These videos are why this channel is great, not all that other shit. Don't lose it
Thank god no TJ.
He makes every C4C video unwatchable.
BlackButterCrunch that’s not how it works. Every video Paul makes with TJ is time spent away from making videos by himself like this.
I don't know what to tell you OP. TJ and Paul are good friends if not best friends. So of course they're going to show up together in videos for this channel.
Hahahah
Paul - what is your top movie of 2017 then?
I really like your reviews, because you can say a lot about the material without giving away spoilers.
The only thing I enjoyed were the visuals (not surprising considering the director).
Strickland was the most overly evil character I've ever seen. It was honestly really silly and made me chuckle a couple of times.
The whole movie just feels very "Disney". The way they tried to make the main character into some kind of quirky Disney princess complete with a musical daydream just made me cringe.
At some point she makes one of the most nonsensical decisions ever for the sake of an audience collectively going "aaaaw".
I may have gone in to this movie expecting something more of a monster movie with a strange love subplot, but this type of movie is something I can never enjoy regardless of expectations.

Yeah and all the bad guys were white people. It's basically a race mixing story with a fish man in place of any minority
I watched this channel from the start, but I only picked up this movie a few months ago. I'm a big Del Toro fan, but I had been a bit burned out from his last few movies that I thought were sub par. I loved this one, though. Glad to have it in my collection.
The Shape of Water is basically an R version of Beauty and the Beast.
yup and like Swamp Thing
I found The Shape of Agua to be just OK. The best movie of last year was, far and away, Blade Runner 2049.
The first time I’ve disagreed with you on a movie so far... I hated it
So, did you know that Doug Jones plays Mac Tonight, the moon-faced McDonald's mascot? Also, he played the Pale Man.
Yup i did know, i remember Mac Tonight in the 80s as a kid and he was Abe, in Batman Returns and others.
Isn’t it 2018?
Paul, what's your pick for best film of 2017?
The guy played the banquet monster in Pan's labyrinth too.
I liked Pan's Lab. and mostly enjoyed Hellboy, but didn't care much for Shape of Water. Probably because of the focus on romance. I don't mind a good romance in a film, but I want interesting elements to be built around that, not for it to be the focus.
Sorry, Professor Zeigo but this is the complete toilet of Del Toro's career...
Shape of Water was a lazy, half assed, feel good film with poorly written characters, shit tons of loopholes, and only serves to give a hamfisted liberal message that is almost necessary for a movie to make it in Hollywood these says. So of course it wins best picture
What are you talking about? I thought the movie was great, the connection between the monster and Sally Hawkins character was great. Those two characters had such great chemistry, all from two characters who didn't speak one word.
The message I was getting from Chauncey was: "Ocean water in nature is flat, ignoring natural motion, and so the earth must be flat!" Chauncey 2018
It was a pretty decent movie, but yeah fish bestiality
Do you think Abe Sapien from Hellboy films/comics is a better fish humanoid man who is of human level intelligence and is a consenting adult who can have a relationship with another consenting adult of a different race (human, furry, xeno, mutant or cyborg) and his romance with the elf woman was done better than here as the asset is more animalistic minded and more on the level of Ferringo's Hulk or a wild animal with a child-like mind?
You do know the Oscars are a joke right? The winner is the one willing to pay the most money to win. Some people give the judges money others give fancy watches.
This is a better live action Beauty and Beast film than the Disney live action one.
Paul, will you review this year's thanksgiving dinner? Kris
I was so nervous to see this pop up in my sub box, I didn't know if you would hate this movie or not! It's definitely my favorite movie to come out of 2017, personally, and del Toro is my favorite director.

However I definitely agree that Michael Shannon was snubbed- he played the evil sonuvabitch role so well and the scenes with his finger were acted out so amazingly.
An interesting note......This movie is basically "Splash" with the sexes of the "mains" swapped.
WHERE ARE YOU PAUL!? WE NEED MORE VIDEOS
Btw PAUL ..2020 I wanttttttttah... a new.......PAULOWEEEEEN
I loved the imagination of Pan's Labyrinth but I absolutely hated that it depresses you through the entire thing and leaves you depressed even after it's over. I wanted to love that movie but I hate it because it doesn't give you anything in return for putting you through depressing moment after depressing moment and that's not the kind of writing that I want in my movies.

Paul talks too much.
Ikr? Give Chauncey a chance
if nothing else this movie had 100% more fish fucking than i expected going in
Paul what’s your pick for best picture of the nominees?
Chancy is wearing fantano's iconic RED FLANNEL
I don't like how they just recycled the character from Hell Boy
I thought this was a remake of Creature from the Black Lagoon (?)
Guillermo Del Toro needs to get back to work with Hideo Kojima
Not sure if you have seen Bone Tomahawk but Richard Jenkins is amazing in that, also a great flick, please review it. Your patreon, 1 buck, 5 bucks or 75 bucks!? You need a wider spread. cheers.
Chauncey should guest on DP
Creature from the black lagoon gets a mute girl friend???
What are your favorite movies of 2017 Paul?
Have you seen A Cure For Wellness? I’d like to hear your review of it
Opinion video on the Oscars?
Shape of Water left Chauncey speechless.
dope Vader beanie
So, what is the best movie of 2017 then, Paul?
Wow, I was expecting this movie to get a new asshole from these guys. I'm glad to know that my movie tastes aren't all bad. lol
Gotta review Phantom Thread, the new and excellent Paul Thomas Anderson flick!!
Damn, best movie of its year.
0/10 not enough SWAMP APE!!!!!
Red Geist let this boring meme die already
I did not like it, all my co-workers were so psyched about it that's why I watched it. But uhg.. did not even finish it. The acting was really good but the story was just lame. Egg anyone?
It's a good movie, but not 13 nominations good. Also, how the hell was Michael Shannon not one of those nominations?
About fucking time, where the hell have you been dude???
Memo is a nickname for Guillermo. Just call him that from now on. Haha
Looking at paul and chauncy is like a metaphor for TJs subscribers-chauncy is tj now paul is tj 2 years ago!
Just started watching the show and it’s great. Short and sweet. Great job Paul!

You crack me up dude this channel kicks all the ass
I would love for you to review session 9 im sure you’ve seen it if not check it out great atmosphere creepy ass film keep the videos coming big fan

Chauncey, consider yourself slapped!
Review the witch
Can you review Saw please?
Oh no whats wrong with Chauncey??
I love country paul
Michael Shannon is a straight beast
I would love to hear your cynical view on the movie Bright (netflix) I personally saw that film as a complete waste of time and would have rather have spent 2 hours with diarrhea while on the phone with my ex-mother in law
Not perfect but beautiful. A flawed masterpiece that deserved to win best picture. It brought me to tears so yeah 9/10.
tbh this was my least favorite of his films i've seen yet. the bad guy was so overtly bad that it was obnoxious. like i almost couldn't believe it. it was a beautiful movie to look at and it had some redeeming qualities, but over all i didn't like it all that much. which is unfortunate bc i was really looking forward to seeing it and he's one of my favorite directors. i don't get the oscar buzz.
Paul, I sincerely hope for you to reinstate your essay style reviews. Although you are admittedly an interesting person to listen to, your essays far surpass the ad lib approach demonstrated here. Either way, thanks for what you do.
Water, Water
Round as a ball
can you rejoin the dp?
Tj was in the peanut gallery
Just call him "William of Bull"
Wow I never even heard of this film.
review THE nightmare on elm street movies in one long video please
Sorry Mr Zeago, this is one of Gullmerio Del Toro's films which I really hate to say....is shit.
Loved this movie. So weird and wonderful.
She likes fish sticks?
Isn´t he accused of ripping of f some old school play? I´m pretty sure he is... plus Bioshock...
And also common that aqua monster looks just like the other one with eyes on the hands. ALSO of course the evil ones are straight white males xD and the black woman got lifted.
good flick. you should review I, Tonya. feels a bit like Scorsese films and Margot Robbie is fantastic in it
this movie was so bad i’m really surprised
"Gi" like Karate Gi
Air
Mo
*del taco"!!!! its killing me...
this movie was straight forward and boring and nonsensical. Michael Shannon had no ambiguity or shade of grey. The movie was black and white with good and evil.

@Carl Copley
Why did your girl leave you?
Hollywood seems to dig the bestiality shit.
Kyros Droztamyr Now mainstream media networks are praising black panther because it has an all black cast. White people have to wake up before it’s too late and realize what the minorities are trying to do
both straight forward and nonsensical?
Hey paul , saw this film and loved it . Hope u do too
Thank u so much i NEVER WOULD HAVE SAW THIS B4!!
This was half assed. It seems as though you just turned on the camera and rambled. Your other ones seem well rehearsed.
Awesome Review as always !
I didn't like the movie that much. Too many cliches and you know exactly whats going to happen.
