And then… at last, at last, he kissed her with real passion. Skin on skin, mouth on mouth. To forget death and tragedy and loss. She was his wife and it was her duty and her privilege to transform him with her devotion and her love.

The Shape of Water
It’s been a long time since I lost my shit over the Simpsons, but can we talk about how much I screamed over Guillermo del Toro’s opening for this year’s Treehouse of Horror?
PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE.
Oh my goodness. This is beautiful.
Does this mean that Guillermo del Toro wants to make a Phantom of the Opera film? Because that would be beyond excellent. No, really. Please?
And can we talk about how that’s the original Gaston Leroux Phantom on the far right in the top photo?
I have just officially lost my shit!
The Shape of Water (2017) dir. Guillermo del Toro
