Somebody Threw Up and Passed Out While Making The Shape of Water‘s Most Romantic Scene

Guillermo del Toro’s latest film is a modern-day masterpiece about the unlikely love story between a mute human woman and a one-of-a-kind amphibian creature.

New Star Wars Survey Says People Like Jar Jar Binks Better Than Kylo Ren

Star Wars statistics, admittedly, can be kind of boring—that is, unless they’re so batshit that you wonder what the hell is even happening.
