michael shannon's agent strickland glowering as only michael shannon can do.mpression it is all foreboding and dangerous and scary but a lot of it is not. it is an unbelievably beautiful film. the production design is extraordinary. that is why it has got so many nominations at the oscars and the baftas, i2 and 13. the design is good. the music is great and the cinematography. there is a lot of great stuff in it. i think there is too much in it. it is a busy film. it pastiches film noir and b—movies which the director guillermo del toro was watching, and he thought wouldn't it be nice if the girl and the creature get together like they do in king kong and splash? interspecies romance. it is entirely unique of the director's vision. any hint of cynicism will ruin the spell of the film. you have to watch it entirely spellbound like sally hawkins does. she is terrific in it. but if you enter with any outside thoughts you will say, it is a bit silly, i think someone is dancing with a fish. i know it will not be for some people. very interesting. i think it is wort

shannon: we all certainly have that responsibility and obligation. as you said, if nothing else good can come from it, hopefully we can take some lessons from preventing this from happening again. michaelto your daughter, your friends and family down there going through this and thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> shannon: final thoughts right after the break. >> i am absolutely sick to my stomach to see children who go to school armed with backpacks and pencils lose their lives. no parent should ever have to send their kid to school and have them not return. that should not happen in parkland. it shouldn't happen anywhere in this country. nothing relieves more symptoms than alka seltzer plus maximum strength liquid gels. i've been meaoh no.o talk to you. well, you know, you're getting older. um, you might be experiencing some, ah, sensations. can't wait to be rescued? esurance roadside assistance lets you know when help will arrive. that's insurance for the modern world. esurance. click or call. if you have moderate to severe or psoriatic arthritis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that
