Leslie Jones is not a fan of The Shape Of Water, fish sex in general
The world has had an entire year to accept that The Shape Of Water, a movie about a woman who falls in love with a fishman, is an unquestioned part of modern pop culture. It won Best Picture at the Oscars, after all, and so we no longer really question the dramatic power of a story centered on the most successful land/sea romance since The Little Mermaid.
Saturday Night Live’s Leslie Jones, on the other hand, just watched The Shape Of Water for the first time last night. As summarized by a series of commentary tweets from her viewing, a pair of fresh eyes can reveal how gross different aspects of the film really are.
For instance, Jones has thoughts on the eye-watering stench of the room where the movie’s romance begins.
She’s also puzzled as to how dire the dating scene must be that Twitter responded to her thoughts on the movie by saying that the glassy-eyed, web-fingered fishman is “hot.”
