Sally Hawkins shines as Elisa opposite Doug Jones in Guillermo del Toro’s film “The Shape of Water.�

‘SHAPE OF WATER’ HITS EVERY EMOTION

By Jeri Jacquin | MilitaryPress

D

estined for an Oscar nomination from the masterful writer/director Guillermo del Toro and Fox Searchlight comes a story that captures the heart when becoming a part of “The Shape of Water.�

In 1962, Elisa (Sally Hawkins) is a young mute woman living in a quiet world of her own. Living her life day to day in a repeating pattern, it includes visiting her neighbor Giles (Richard Jenkins) for a little television and being watched over at work by friend Zelda (Octavia Spencer).

Working as a cleaning lady in a government facility, one day a strange container arrives. Being fairly invisible, Elisa is curious about what they are working on.

Hearing that whatever is in the container is highly-classified, it doesn’t stop her

2 %FD

from taking a look for herself.

That’s when she discovers a creature (Doug Jones) submerged in a tank pool, yet not truly afraid of what she sees. Instead, Elisa seems to sense that the creature is afraid and she discovers ways to put it at ease. Through patience, Elisa and her webbed friend begin to have a friendship that is quietly beautiful.

Keeping an eye on the laboratory is the very aggressive Richard Strickland (Michael Shannon) who is feared by most everyone. Watching over the experiments is Dr. Robert Hoffstetler (Michael Stuhlbarg) who isn’t a fan of Strickland’s either and has his own secrets to keep.

Elisa sees that her creature friend is suffering and decides she is going to do whatever it takes to help. Enlisting Giles proves to be a challenge and a plan is made. What surprises Elisa the most is

who comes out of nowhere to make sure the plan works perfectly!

Strickland becomes even more hostile and ballistic and is about to make sure every human being within his earshot suffers until the creature is found. There is no mercy for anyone as he investigates every person working in the laboratory. Elisa knows that time may not be on their side but can’t turn away from her feelings.

It is a friendship that embraces their differences!

Hawkins as Elisa is absolutely endearing, lovely, heart-wrenching, soulful, playful and a dreamer of epic proportions. Every part of Elisa’s character is in her eyes and smile which brought smiles to my own face before I could help myself. In the life she has created, finding someone who is also mute yet full of emotion, Elisa just dances over this film effortlessly. Hawkins is on my list for any award she wants — yes, including an Oscar.

Jenkins as Giles is such a lovely man who is creative at a time when things are ever changing. He loves his old movies and the friendship with Elisa and even though he might be a tad afraid of the unknown, he is challenged by Elisa’s will to be humane. Jenkins can portray characters that are so sweet and harmless and Giles is such a character done so well.

Spencer as Zelda is funny, no-nonsense and protective of Elisa. I love her monologues while mopping with Elisa and straight-faced one-liners and quips when up against Strickland. I mean seriously, would expect anything less from Spencer? Stuhlbarg as Dr. Robert Hoffstetler is definitely a conflicted character and for

very year at Christmastime these days, as sure as fake antlers and Aunt Ruby’s fluorescent-cherry fruitcake, the feminists are out denouncing Frank Loesser’s 1940s seasonal-seduction duet “Baby, It’s Cold Outside� as “rapey.�

As cheerless as Scrooge wondering why there are no workhouses, the sexual-assault sisterhood reads sinister subtexts into Loesser’s lyrics every Yuletide. “Say, what’s in this drink?� That’s all about roofies, the date-rape drug. “I ought to say no, no, no.� That’s women being socialized by the patriarchy to be nice when they really want to get away. “I’ve got to get home� — “Oh, baby, you’ll freeze out there.� That’s him wearing her down into unwanted sex.

I can’t decide whether these Grinchettes of rape culture have tin ears, tin eyes, tin brains, or all three. Have any of them ever heard the song sung?

As the musicologist Thomas Riis wrote, “Loesser can be said to have built his little tune into a miniature dramatic scene, a scena in the operatic sense, in which two characters and the nature of their relationship are fully sketched with efficiency and emotional clarity.�

It should be noted that the very first performance of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside� was by Loesser and his wife (you can’t get more affirmatively consensual than that), entertaining their celebrity guests at a housewarming. The Loessers loved singing it, and their guests loved hearing it.

Commentator Mark Steyn quotes Lynn Loesser’s memoirs: “It was our ticket to caviar and truffles. Parties were built around our being the closing act.�

Well, not quite everyone loved “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.� A young Egyptian, Sayyid Qutb, studying at what is now Northern Colorado University, heard a recording of the song at a church dance and wrote that he was outraged: “The room convulsed with the feverish music from the gramophone. Dancing naked legs filled the hall, arms draped around the waists, chests met chests, lips met lips . . .�

Qutb went back to Egypt to be a leader in the fanatically anti-secular Muslim Brotherhood. Later hanged for plotting to overthrow the Nasser government, he’s regarded as the godfather of modern jihad.

Feminists love to cultivate sympathetic “allies.� And they’ve got them aplenty in their grim and puritanical loathing of a cheery Christmas song: radical Islamic terrorists.

Washington Redhawks?

Not so fast

Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers scrambles away from pressure during a first-quarter drive against the Redskins at Stubhub Center.

BOLTS GEAR UP FOR FINAL GAMES ‘Games you grow up dreaming about’ CARSON — For the past two seasons, the month of December had been more about talent evaluation and an early look at the NFL draft for the Los Angeles Chargers.

But for the first time in three years, the Chargers are playing meaningful football in December.

At 7-6, the Chargers will hit the road to face their division rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs, with a chance to claim the top spot outright in the AFC West. “It’s one of my favorite places to play,� Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. “You get used to division teams like Denver and Kansas City as places that are your favorite places to play because you’ve been there the most. “But the atmosphere on Saturday night will be about as good as you can find anywhere. These are the games you grow up dreaming about playing in.�

4 %FD

Rivers said he told his teammates to keep focused on the “one game at a time� approach that got them to this point, but also to enjoy the opportunity of playing games that matter in the final month of the season. “It’s not much better than going to Kansas City on a Saturday night in December and playing for the division lead with three games left,�

Rivers said. “So I think it’s good to acknowledge that, but make sure everybody doesn’t get too caught up in the hype because it can end and turn the other way in a hurry.�

The Chargers haven’t won in Kansas City since 2013 — the last time this franchise made the postseason. That season the Chargers won their final four games to reach the playoffs.

Rivers also has a history of playing his best football in the final month of the season.

Since taking over as the team’s starter in 2006, Rivers has guided the Chargers to a 36-18 (67 percent) record in regular-season games played in December.

Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said he’s leaning on veteran leaders such as Rivers to help guide younger players these next three games. “It’s real valuable when you have veteran guys that have been there, done it and can teach the young guys,� Lynn said. “We have a young team, and I think our captains and our veteran leadership do a good job carrying out my vision throughout the locker room.�

Running back Melvin Gordon is one of those young players wading into uncharted territory and looks forward to the ride. “It’s a big game right here that we definitely need to win if we want to be where we need to be,� Gordon said. “I feel like if they [Chiefs] win this, they pretty much lock up our division. ... So we need it. It’s going to be a big game Saturday.�

On Dec. 13 the internet was hit with an elaborate, carefully orchestrated plot that said Washington’s NFL team was going to change its name to the “Washington Redhawks� for the 2018 season.

These kind of fake stories are common on Twitter, traditionally spurred by misrepresenting a verified user, but the Redhawks plot had the distinction of seemingly being reported by ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Bleacher Report, and The Washington Post all at the same time.

Somehow news of the team changing its name hit everywhere, at the same time, simultaneously, without being leaked out ahead of the announcement. The news sent up dozens of red flags, and yet everything looked pretty convincing.

That is, until you double-checked the URLs you were visiting. The stories appeared on forgeries of each of the sites. Versions that were intentionally scraped for content, so all the surrounding links appeared real and legitimate, even duplicating “most read,� or “breaking news� sidebars, populated with links that directly related to the sports world. However, when you checked your address bar you noticed what was happening.

ESPN was espnsports.news, Sports Illustrated was sportsillustrated.news, Bleacher Report was bleacherreport.news and the Washington Post was washpostsports.com.

All four sites were registered on Nov. 26, with the flagship site “washingtoredhawks.com,� registered on Nov. 10. They were purchased under the name “Dan S,� through the French URL purchasing site gandi.net, but with any further personal information masked through the site, making identifying the buyer almost impossible.

This kind of scheme isn’t necessarily expensive, with each URL likely only costing between $10-15 for a yearlong license, but the coding of the sites, the artwork, and small details were convincing enough to fool the biggest doubter, if only for a second. All this took a significant amount of time.

However, the schemers made a few key mistakes. Every story was written by “staff writer,� which wouldn’t happen for a story this big. The Washington Post was lacking its slugline “Democracy Dies in the Darkness.�

The image posted of the team’s new helmet was a mediocre Photoshop of an old photo of the team’s helmet.

The Photoshop, according to the site fotoforensics. com, was created on an Apple iMac in early October — lending credence to the idea that the plot was months in the making.

The result has largely been hot air. Despite all the work done to make it seem real, nobody really fell for it. Going to the team’s real site reveals no intention to change the team name, and no news outlets have picked up on the forgery and passed it off as a real announcement.

Nobody has claimed responsibility for the scheme, with the fake Twitter account for the team still tweeting out links, sending people to their fake sites. It’s unclear whether the hoax is the elaborate work of a group of trolls, or perhaps a proof of concept by activists to raise awareness on the kind of support a name change would bring. All are possibilities, and it will be some time before we get to the bottom of this — if ever.

PRESIDENT SIGNS HUGE $700 BILLION DEFENSE BILL Gives troops largest pay raise in 7 years

President Donald Trump signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which will give the U.S. Military its largest pay raise in seven years, since 2010.

The NDAA calls for a $700 billion Pentagon budget and includes a 2.4-percent pay raise for troops, an increase in the number of troops, and increased spending for aircraft and ships as part of the Fiscal Year 2018 budget.

The NDAA sets the budget but does not provide funding, which Congress must do.

Trump urged Congress to pass legislation that will fund the defense budget. “Now Congress must finish the job by eliminating the defense sequester and passing a clean appropriations bill,�

Trump said. “I think it’s gonna happen. We need our military, it’s gotta be perfecto.�

The budget calls for an additional 20,000 troops; funding for weapons systems, retention pay and bonuses; and repairs for Navy ships such as the USS John S. McCain and the USS Fitzgerald, which were both involved in deadly collisions

President Donald Trump shakes hands with Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis after signing the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018.

earlier this year.

This is the largest proposed military budget to date, particularly the most significant budget to be passed during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Congress still has to come up with a definitive plan to fund the $700 billion budget. It has has to approve a defense budget

cap increase – the Department of Defense Appropriations Act – in order to accommodate the proposed NDAA. The Act has already been passed in the House.

Republican Rep. Mac Thornberry, who chairs the House Armed Services Committee, said: “Having the President sign the NDAA conference report into law is a

critical milestone in the effort to rebuild America’s military strength, support our troops, and reform the way the Pentagon does business. The policies in this bill reflect months of bipartisan work and agreement. But Congress must follow this authorization with a matching appropriation bill if we are to really rebuild our military.

There is more work to do.�

The bill includes 90 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, which is 20 more than the Trump Administration’s request.

The budget also allocates $26.2 billion for 14 new ships, including three littoral combat ships; and flexible spending for $5.9 billion for the Virginia-class submarine programs; $5.6 billion for Arleigh Burke-class destroyers; $4.4 billion for aircraft carriers; $3.1 billion for Army helicopters; and $1.9 billion for 24 F/A-18 Super Hornets.

The plan calls for 7,500 Active Duty members, 500 National Guard members and 500 Reservists for the Army; 4,000 Active Duty and 1,000 Reserves for the Navy; 4,100 Active Duty, 900 Guard and 800 Reserves for the Air Force; and 1,000 Active Duty Marines.

The plan to create a new “Space Corps� under the umbrella of the Air Force was rejected.

IS ‘MAN FLU’ REAL? RESEARCHER SAYS MAYBE Lack of estrogen causes symptoms to be worse

“They call me Mr. Pitiful,� went the first line of a 1966 song by Otis Redding.

Redding was singing about lost love, but he might just as well have been referring to men with the flu, who have long been accused of being wimps and crybabies when struck by the loathsome bug.

But it turns out, according to a researcher, that men may be moaning and groaning so much because they actually are affected more severely by influenza.

A Canadian doctor, Dr. Kyle Sue, writing in the British Medical Journal, said that “man flu� may come down to physiological differences between men and women. “So it makes sense that we could differ in our responses to cold and flu viruses as well,� he added. “I do think that the research does point towards men having a weaker immune response when it comes to common viral respiratory infections and the flu,� Sue told Britain’s Guardian newspaper. “This is shown in the fact that

Researchers say men get harder symptoms of the flu because they don’t have estrogen.

A study from Hong Kong, Sue wrote, suggested that when the flu strikes, adult men face a greater risk for being admitted to the hospital than their female peers. Another study, in America, also found that men seem to face a higher risk for actually dying from the flu than women.

Sue, a clinical assistant professor in family medicine from the Memorial University of Newfoundland, told the Guardian that the higher testosterone levels in men might be behind the phenomenon because of possible effects on the immune system.

He also pointed to possible evolutionary factors. “Lying on the couch, not getting out of bed, or receiving assistance with activities of daily living could also be evolutionary behaviors that once protected against predators. “Perhaps now is the time for malefriendly spaces, equipped with enormous televisions and reclining chairs, to be set up where men can recover from the debilitating effects of man flu in safety and comfort,� joked Sue, adding that more studies need to be done before “man flu� can be a firm diagnosis.

Meanwhile, he told the paper, “I am hopeful that next time men are being criticized as exaggerating their symptoms they can say ‘hey, look at this study, there is some proof that I am not!’�

Second, the ever amazing and continually exceptional work of Doug Jones reasons, you will discover for yourself. I as the creature. Jones has been at the do love his performance because I have forefront of some of the most amazseen Stuhlbarg be both good guy and bad ing characters and yet never seeing his and here he mixes the two and I adore face. In the 2004 film “Hellboy� he was Abe Sapien, teaming up with Del Torro the outcome.

There are two actors in this film that in the 2006 film “Pan’s Labyrinth� he we must discuss, first Shannon as Rich- was the Pale Man, in 2007 he starred in ard Strickland is as frightening as I know “Fantastic 4:: Rise of the Silver Surfer� he can be. There are so many dimensions as the Silver Surfer, in 2010’s “Legion� to Shannon as an actor and he always he was the Ice Cream Man (creepier manages to surprise me. Yes, he can be than all get out people!) and back with the scariest and meanest badass ever to Del Torro in the 2015 horror offering of grace a film but Shannon never does it “Crimson Peak.�

Let us not forget television when in the same way twice or even three or four times for that matter. Here Strickland is 2014 he played one of my favorite characa complex hater of a human being and ters in the series “Falling Skies� as Cochise, only Shannon could have done it — and gave us a new vampire in the FX series 'PS BEWFSUJTJOH JOGPSNBUJPO DBMM t BEWFSUJTJOH!NJMJUBSZQSFTT DPN Continued from Page 2

“The Strain� as one of The Ancient’s and is now part of the Trekkie family with “Star Trek: Discovery.�

Now, in “The Shape of Water,� Jones once again portrays a character that is all about the physicality of storytelling.

Over all that costuming, a persona comes to life that is easy to love and want to protect. That’s what Jones brings out in us all with this performance. In case you might be wondering, I had the opportunity to speak with Doug last year when he was promoting the space film “Space Command.� All I can say is that he is lovely, charming and funny so perhaps I have more of a bit of a soft spot for his portrayal of this endearing creature. Amazing performance Doug and congratulations for making us all fall in love with love again!

Other cast include David Hewlett as Fleming, Nick Searcy as General Hoyt, Stewart Arnott as Bernard, Nigel Bennett as Mihalkov, Lauren Lee Smith as Elaine Strickland, Martin Roach as Brewster Fuller, Allegra Fulton as Yolanda and John Kapelos as Mr. Arzoumanian. “The Shape of Water� is a film that is so magnificently shot with nuances that I couldn’t get enough of. The story is one of beauty, loneliness, fear, courage, music, caring, anger, betrayal, secrets, friendships and about every human emotion on the spectrum.

In the end — it is a fairy tale for troubled times!

I went to the liquor store Tuesday afternoon on my bicycle, bought a bottle of Wild Turkey, and put it in the bicycle basket.

As I was about to leave, I thought to myself that if I fell off the bicycle, the bottle would break. So I drank all the Wild Turkey before I pedaled away.

It turned out to be a very good decision, because I fell off my bicycle seven times on the way home.
