After Guillermo del Toro's excursion into the Gothic Horror genre with "Crimson Peak" and the monster bashers "Pacific Rim" and "Hellboy II - The Golden Army", "Shape of Water" is a return to the fantastic against a real background ( cf. "Pan's Labyrinth"). He co-wrote the screenplay with Vanessa Taylor (Game of Thrones). There is also a return for Doug Jones, who already played a so-called Ichthyo sapien, a fish-man, in Hellboy and its successor Abe Sapien. Other notable cast members in Shape of Water include Michael Shannon and Michael Stuhlbarg, who previously starred together in Boardwalk Empire, and Octavia Spencer (next stop: Fruitvale Station). The starting date in our latitudes is February 15, 2018.

The Cold War not only separated the abstract East and West, many interpersonal relationships threatened to be crushed in the maelstrom of hostile world powers. Against this background, the romance that is now to be told seems like a fairy tale, especially when one of the lovers is an amphibious human. The year is 1963, the year in which the "hot line" between the US and the Soviet Union was to be established. Lonely, mute Elisa (Sally Hawkins) works for a top-secret government laboratory, where one day she and her colleague Zelda (Octavia Spencer) discover an experiment in the form of a creature: in a tank there lives more than he lives an amphibian man (Doug Jones ). After initial disgust at the stranger, Elisa develops curiosity and ultimately more sympathy, which grows in mutuality. With the help of her helpful neighbor (Richard Jenkins), Elisa frees the Aquarius. The military sees him as just a potential Cold War weapon and pursues them mercilessly. The love of two creatures from different worlds has no place in any of the elements under these conditions.

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever ;) I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
