Jaws: Posting Stuff While I Watch

Gemini Cricket · 10-22-2009, 11:10 AM

Jaws (1975)

I started talking about Jaws in another thread and thought I'd watch it and post stuff while I watched. I don't know why, I'm just bored is all. Couldn't sleep last night.

Anyway, here goes.

Pressing play now.

I love the 30th anniversary DVD menu. It's simple. Just a shot of the buoy in the water and the sound effects of the bell dinging. Cool.

I miss the old Universal logo.

Lots of bad seventies hair around a campfire. I love it. Smokin' pot, smoking cigs, drinking beer. Lots of normal looking extras in this movie. I kinda like that. People you may actually run into on the east coast back in the 70's.

I like the quick moment of the two people kissing directly in front of the fire.

Check other thread for my note on the presence of a fairly healthy roar.

Also, stop now and go to audio options and be sure that you are listening to the mono soundtrack. The stereo is a completely inauthentic re-recording of the sound effects, and it's lame. The mono track is the original theatrical version, and it makes a huge difference.

Hi, I'm bad seventies helmet hair dude. They kicked me off of the set of Little House on the Prairie. Wanna f*ck?

Someone needs to fix that fence.

A lady I used to work with at the Monterey Bay Aquarium looks exactly like Chrissy. Weird, no?

Done.

Chrissy side boob.

I was always confused at what time of day it's supposed to be. Night time in the previous shot, sunset in the next shots, then day for night in a couple of other shots.

Leg sinks straight down into the water. Classic shot. Love it. I remember people in the theatre already thinking that she got eaten at that point. Little did they know.

This is sooo rad.

Someone ought to create some type of service that allows people to share quick comments about what they are doing, AS THEY ARE DOING IT.

That would be really fun.

She like swam out like 2 miles into the water. Yeah, she deserved to be eaten.
