The Ambhibian Man & other Things in "the Shape of Water"...

I think he's beautiful.

The Amphibian Man is introduced as a singular, male creature captured in the Amazon and brought to a U.S. government facility. . All interactions in the film are with this male individual, and no female counterpart is shown or mentioned in the script. Species description: The creature is described as a sapient, humanoid amphibian with gills, webbed limbs, bioluminescent skin, dorsal spine ridge and the power to heal. . The lore in the film treats him as a unique, possibly divine lifeform, but does not confirm whether his species is mono‑ or poly‑sexual. Fictional biology: While the film’s “canon” does not address reproduction or female Amphibian Man characters, the non‑alien creatures wiki notes that the Amphibian Man has a cloaca for waste and reproduction. . This biological detail suggests the possibility of reproduction, but it does not confirm the presence of females in the story. --- Fandom. >>> But, yes, I feel that at some time there must have been or are females of his species.

(I think this is Eliza as an Amphibian woman.I wonder if, in time, the Amphibian Man made Eliza into an Amphibian Woman, as his mate. That would make perfect sense.)

Who Voiced Maleficent in the Animated Sleeping Beauty???...

The voice of Maleficent in Disney’s 1959 animated Sleeping Beauty was provided by Eleanor Audley . Eleanor Audley (born Eleanor Zellman, 1905–1991) was an American actress known for her distinctive voice and versatile career in stage, radio, television, and animation . She is also remembered for voicing Lady Tremaine, Cinderella’s stepmother, in Disney’s 1950 Cinderella . In Sleeping Beauty, Audley’s portrayal of the “Mistress of All Evil” became one of the most iconic villain voices in Disney history . Her performance helped define Maleficent’s menacing yet elegant presence in the film, and the role cemented her reputation as a top-tier voice actor in animated classics. Eleanor Audley lent more than just her voice to Maleficent—she provided the physical foundation for the character’s movements. Disney animators filmed Audley acting out scenes in full costume, using her performance as reference material. Her regal posture, graceful hand gestures, and commanding presence became integral to Maleficent’s terrifying elegance. Audley’s angular features and stern expression influenced the character’s distinctive facial design. The actress had a natural ability to project authority and menace without raising her voice. Her measured, deliberate movements gave Maleficent an otherworldly quality that made her feel genuinely dangerous. This technique of rotoscoping live actors helped create one of animation’s most iconic villains.

Night Gallery, --- "Lindemann's Catch,"...

I loved "Lindeman's Catch," --- a gothic mermaid tale that has stayed with me for years!!! >>> “Lindemann’s Catch,” written by Rod Serling and directed by Jeff Corey... Set in what we’re led to presume is a seaport in New England somewhere, the tale opens one night in a dockside tavern, where all the old salts are boozing it up and taking a breather in between onerous excursions in their fishing boats. A local man and bar regular named Abner Suggs (Harry Townes) offers to tell fortunes for all and sundry, using his array of soothsaying items, but everyone seems to be pretty much ignoring him. Enter the titular Captain Lindemann, played by Stuart Whitman, who coincidentally also turned up in a 1964 movie called Shock Treatment that I recently reviewed. The grizzled old coot is clearly not a people person, and waxes on about how miserable the life of a fisherman is, and how he knows that it will eventually be the death of him. His monologue is great, by the way, and really sells his character as a world-weary sourpuss who loathes his own existence. Abner attempts a friendly conversation with the old sailor, talking about his predictions, and it’s obvious that this is a regular occurrence, because within minutes, Lindemann has decided he’s had enough of the fortuneteller’s shit for one evening and slaps the ever-loving piss out of him. A cowed, bloody-lipped Abner laments that Lindemann has no love in him for anything or anybody. Shortly afterward, some of the other sailors give a shout from outside, and everyone rushes out to the dock to see what the commotion is. They’re all staring in wonder into Lindemann’s boat, but at first, the audience can’t see what they’re all looking at. Lindemann takes a gander in there too and starts screaming his beardy little head off. So it turns out that apparently unbeknownst to him, Lindemann has caught an honest-to-goodness mermaid in his fishing net. The beautiful creature is in noticeable distress, unable to speak and simply reaching out to the men as if pleading for help. Almost immediately, the sailors start planning on selling her to a traveling carnival for a tidy profit (classy), but an enraged Lindemann is appalled, basically calling her an affront to all that’s good and holy and vowing that he’s going to kill her. Bit of an overreaction, I reckon, but he is portrayed as a hateful old curmudgeon, so probably not surprising. The other guys are able to talk Lindemann out of his murderous impulses for the time being, though they still seem to be scheming about how they’re gonna spirit the mermaid away to sell her before she inevitably dies. We then skip ahead a couple of days, and it’s revealed that not only is the mermaid still in the hold of Lindemann’s boat, but Lindemann himself hasn’t been seen since the night he caught her. Now, you might be thinking that Lindemann had a change of heart and discovered he was all about the fish-lovin’ and I guess you’d at least partially be right, though this isn’t stated explicitly. Lindemann at last emerges from his boat and into the tavern, begging the town doctor (Jack Aranson) to administer some medicine to the mermaid because she’s dying. The doctor reasonably argues that the mermaid belongs in the sea and that maybe Lindemann should, y’know, put her back, but Lindemann seems to have fallen in love with the creature and refuses to let her go, claiming that he and she have been communicating without words (which probably means exactly what you think it does). Abner hears about the poor captain’s predicament, and wouldn’t you know it, but amid his vast collection of tarot cards, crystals, potions, and tinctures, he just happens to have a concoction that should (theoretically) turn the mermaid into a human woman. Why Abner would possess a magic elixir for this very specific and, I would imagine, unusually rare problem is never explained, but a desperate Lindemann doesn’t question it; he just gives the blue tonic to the creature (offscreen) and hopes for a miracle. And at first, it would appear that he’s gotten one. He climbs down into the hold the next morning and is delighted to see a pair of shapely and very human gams sticking out from under the blanket where previously there was naught but a scaly fish tail. So elated he doesn’t even bother to pull the blanket away, he rushes back up on deck to tell the other sailors what’s happened. Well, because this is a horror story and because Lindemann very pointedly did NOT peek under the blanket, you can probably guess where this is going. The former mermaid staggers up from the hold on her unsteady human legs, but it’s quickly revealed that the potion has transformed her into something of a butterface, because her upper half (well, mostly just her head) is now a fish. She makes a couple fishy faces at the men, staring at them with her bulbous fishy eyes, before jumping back into the sea, no doubt to be rejected as a mutant by her mermaid brethren. A heartbroken Lindemann leaps in after her, and presumably drowns, as the men are seen later that night throwing a black wreath onto the surface of the water. While “Lindemann’s Catch” was pretty ponderously paced, it had spooky atmosphere for days, and Stuart Whitman’s performance as Captain Lindemann was outstanding. Once he gave the mermaid the change-up juice, it was very obvious how the story was going to end, but I didn’t mind that a bit, and the fish face effect, while clearly low budget, was actually fairly effective. --- IMDb.
