Doesn’t the conflict usually end up being the same? Ie, jealous louts trounce in and RUIN the relationship (much less the lover’s ability to… live) through some violent and/or selfish reason or another? And those aforementioned louts were setup as the “normal/ideal” people? Aka Gaston?

No, but I demand that movie. Make it a romance vs heist movie called The Hand Job.

Tell me more about it...

Real talk tho, how are we supposed to compete with that?

Yeah, the review sounds to me like he went in willing to like it. Now, whether it's *bad* or just not for him is different, but I'm not getting any of this "OMG fear of female sexuality!!!!", it sounds more like it's Carry On style oo-er-missus and that's not working for him.

A tisk tisk tisket..

@weirdobookclub.bsky.social !!! I cant wait for your opinions on it!

In the recent films it doesn't work at all. There's no way she'd choose him over Jack Black.

shrek is right there

Danny DeVito is on more people's "would" list than you realize.

I’ve been in the Star Wars fandom long enough to know a lot of women would fuck Jabba the Hutt, and he’s not even a good guy

Also, he looks like he dresses well.

Some people just can't be helped, which unfortunately turns out to be a lot of men.

I wish we could get that sort of story with a Monster Girl where she isn't beautified by the end. Outside of Shrek at least.

Wicker

Given that monster girls are popular I would theorize that monster boys are also desired, but the demographics might differ between them

To be fair, this monster has a strong resemblance to Alexander Skarsgard... which is to say... I do get it.

Women would rather fuck a woven penis than be with abusers and I can understand why

Also the creature always can just talk to women, which is basically playing with cheats on; ridiculous

Lol I assumed from that that they are literally re-enacting the Kama Sutra in the film - like, page by page 🙃

Excuse me while I "eh, actually..."

I'm still mad that Guillermo del Toro made an entire movie about a fish man with a great ass and then called his giant robot movie Pacific Rim instead

That's what I have called it since seeing it in the theater. I absolutely love the movie by the way.

😂

Almost nothing is unworkable.

Oh sure, it's just that I find this sort of editorial pattern fascinating/horrifying. It's not to lead you into reading, it's to reduce the article to an image for people to dunk with (about the journalist or cast/film depending on viewpoint and bias, which the Telegraph definitely has).

I could never do that.

"What a lucky gal," is such fantastic worldbuilding.

Most excellent alt text (hat tip emoji)

So we are literally going to do Strawman arguments . . .

Guess they need to smash harder?

Had never heard of this movie, and now would like to see it

Some like em tall, dark, and rattan

This is closely aligned with all the incels that say women won't date them because they're short or unattractive when it's really their toxic personality.

It's interesting to think about this genre in a reclamatory sense. Historically these western fairytales of a monstrous spouse were about the virtues of fidelity. I wonder if today's versions manufacturing approval or subversive to the original fidelity fables by making the monsters "nice & sexy"?

tyler it's a hit

Ce regard bleu derrière la "bête", c’est la preuve qu’on peut être indompté sans jamais perdre sa noblesse. J’ai toujours cru que le vrai refuge d’une femme, c’est ce genre de force tranquille, même sous un masque.

Oh I know 😏

i watched this a ton growing up & i am just now connecting some dots about myself. huh.

My mom enjoyed that show a lot!

Matt Walsh?

Why is it that I can tell from this picture this guy has opinions on birthrates?

omg

New Vicious Mockery insult just dropped. *Promptly saves to steal when needed*

Isn’t there a famous Canadian novel about that!

Confirmed by the Baldur's Gate 3 fans

Actually, he sent me one of his invites for bluesky - HE'S THE REASON I'M HERE 🤣

When a Skarsgard can cosplay as a papasan chair and still pull more women than ol’ Rob.

Don't be jealous of their passion, Robbie.
