You're the only other person I've ever seen directly call out that retarded Shape of Water movie. It was such shit. I felt like that movie was just an excuse to have the actress masturbate on-screen like 5 times for del Toro's pleasure.
Hollywood has forgotten that "going to the movies" was an event that people did, wherein the movie mattered less than the activity itself. And considering you usually only had 1-2 movies per genre, and in same areas per age/gender grouping, this limited you to watching drivel you wouldn't have deliberately chosen otherwise.
Streaming removes all that. You are now directly choosing something that catches your interest, against infinite other options. Including the option to just decide against seeing anything.
So even ignoring the "woke" and "anti-critic" problem, which is another major factor, the advancement of technology has made everything except things with major hooks (fanfavorite, blockbuster action, word of mouth) irrelevant. Oscar-bait will return to the pits of garbage with all the European "art" films like they belong.
Yeah, the replacement for that is basically Discord or social media. This is one reason the 360 was so much more successful than the PS3 too, you could actually form a lobby and hang out with people online.
Oscar-bait movies were worth a watch back in the day, but now the feminist-diversity racket is so omni-present and overwhelmingly in-your-face that the tolerance threshold is pretty much nonexistent.
The higher ups in their demented blood cult. The ones who gave this same retard a standing ovation for her “I had an abortion so I could someday win this award” speech.
Highly pretentious films with A list actors designed to win awards. Used to have gems mixed in but the personal politics of the producers themselves finally poisoned the well.
Well yeah, the pompous pricks want to watch films that are allegories for leftist talking points or some chick fucking a fish
Us/the general public, we're happy seeing a mentor/son film with fighter jets or guy gets revenge for killing his dog.

Shape of water could have been good but instead it was another white man bad propaganda reel.
Even the chick fucking a fish was an allegory for homosexuality.

These people need to go.
Stake through the heart.
Who are the geniuses who think including an ugly progressive bitch with a stupid pixie bob is ever the way to go?

Movies that were obvious money laundering, but made a name for yourself? Yes, I've heard of them. Heck, I enjoyed a few even.
Oscar-bait?

Babylon was pure Hollywood Masturbation. Brad Pitt should be ashamed.
