"Jaws" 1975.
 
Got to see this again today on a big screen at the Old Mill Playhouse.


It sure is better to see it on a big screen again.

I have seen it many times on a small screen.

My 30 year old son saw it last weekend and was blown away ! I saw it on Cannery Row in 1975 when the theater was out over the water on pilings . Everyone was freaked out to have to walk back down the pier to get to shore ! Going to see it at Sumter tomorrow !

On Cannery Row? I can imagine how nerve wracking that would have been.

My orthodontist kept on talking about the movie Jaws while working on my teeth. Quite an experience. I still had those braces on in the Fall of 1982 when at Brigham Young Law School. I also had a Puerto Rican dance major as a roommate and also had had a salesman in Reno, Nevada push me in on the new fad he said of a brown corduroy suit. I lasted about ten days and promptly closeted the brown corduroy outfit and had the braces removed.

Left to get a Master's in Librarianship in the late Spring of 1983 at the U of Denver. Without the steel jaws. And also no Puerto Rican dancer. And did get accepted at maybe seven law schools and chose the U of Minnesota.

Frightening
 
After 50 years, I'm still afraid to close my eyes in the shower.

I guess I need to watch it again. I don't remember the ceiling fan in the movie.

After watching that, I lost my enthusiasm for spearfishing, especially after an encounter with a shark that bounced off my buddies dive tank while I tried to get a grouper off my spear

Thanks for my morning laugh!

But yes that movie is a fun classic. So many folks only swim in pools because of it.

Does the poor shark ever win?

Always better to see a movie on the big screen. Example: if you go see jaws on the big screen, you will notice that the beer can crushing scene takes place in the cabin at a table; on the home version that scene takes place at the back of the boat, not as dramatic. Studios often switch scenes for the home version.

First they need a bigger boat and now they need a bigger screen. Make up my mind.
