    Del Toro film. Fairy tale, erotic and spy thriller, monster flick, 60s period piece, and pinch of horror. Rated R: boobs, bush, buns, humping, jump scares, and cringy gross stuff. All quick scenes.

    Took my kids. I know, I am horrible dad; but seriously my kids have seen naked people before. About 100 or 1000 less people murdered compared to Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

    My 10 year old son loved it. Best film he's ever seen he said: it was so good. My daughter only liked it, she preferred GOG2. We all looked at her funny. She was like WTH? Why are you looking at my like I an dumb or have poor taste?

    Not exactly a totally independent film with $20M budget and Fox Searchlight picking it up, but go see this. It will probably lose money. Might not be on theatres anymore after this week.

    Posting because @CEE TEE asked me so he would not forget. Go watch brainless Star Wars or Marvel Friends movies (with laffs every two minutes). But don't forget movies like this. If you do, we will ONLY get superhero movies in the near future. The situation is rather dire. More dire than most people think.

    f**k yes see this film. I'm as much of a sucker for laugh-a-minute blockbusters and superhero flicks, but beautiful pieces like this deserve love too.

    Er, I'd say keep out of reach of kids maybe, but only because less mature minds might focus too much on the boobs and humping and forget to pay attention to the story. God knows 13-year-old me would have done exactly that. Maybe.

    Very good film. My favorite part was the women discussing monster penis.

    Funny how The Last Jedi made the characters talk so much about everything that was happening (tell, not show), as if audiences are dumb (well, they might be), and this movie had two mute main characters that communicated mostly in facial expressions and body language.

    Forgot this had already come out. Think me and my wife will go this weekend.

    As someone whose parents (attempted) to shield my innocent eyes from nipples "gasp" in media most of my young childhood, it does far more damage to a childs psyche hiding basic biology than it does just letting them watch and educating them. (maybe zach and miri make a porno is a bit much but you get the idea)

    I checked to see where it’s playing here. Figured it would be our usual downtown art house. It’s at the Century! 5 minutes from my house. Going to see if I can get free tomorrow. Is also playing in IMAX and all the big chain cinemas. I’m taking this as a good sign that Marv’s word of mouth review is spreading. Agree with him, we are in danger of losing high quality films that tell a great story. I wonder if Citizen Kane would ever be considered today.

    I've been insanely f'ing thirsty for that fish man ever since the first trailer got released, and have had more sexual fantasies about him than anything else.

    Yup, Del Toro in the works right there. After seeing everything this man has done thus far, his style is as unique as fabulous. Even Hellboy wasn't a regular super hero flick.

    I saw another Del Toro film last year, Crimson Peak, and was vaguely disturbed. I took a girl I was dating at the time -- it was a mistake. But I'll maybe grab my parents to see this one.

    Oh yeah?! Well, I've been pretending to have fantasies about you having sexual fantasies about a fish man. #yourmove #talldarkandscalie #attractedtomenwhocanttalk #serioustmi
    @Thad E Ginathom passing the baton, so to speak


    Haven't seen movie or trailer, have been told It's not a movie to take conservative in-laws to.
