Jaws: Posting Stuff While I Watch - Page 8

Tiniest swimming trunks ever.

Now here's something interesting and I'm willing to almost bet money on it. Michael (Brody's son) talks to Brody on the beach. I swear that June Foray does his voice in this scene. Listen to it. It sounds like her.

Brody's wife is a hottie in her bathing suit.

Various shots of the townspeople in the water. All of this builds suspense to what's coming. Sean (Brody's younger son) warns his brother that he doesn't want him to go into the water.

"...injured some bathers." Man this actor must have gotten death threats back then.

There's a shot in here of Brody on the beach wit beach umbrellas behind him. It's another terrific shot that could be a postcard.

And we learn in this "Shark!" scene that if you're old, you're going to get trampled. Take that, elderly.

The kids are caught seemingly by Stormtroopers in boats. Listen to their voices, total Stormtroopers. Well, this came out before Star Wars so I guess the Stormtroopers in that movie were actually Coast Guard hippies.

Shark in the pond. Right where the chief sent his son. Nicely, done, Chief.

Scary hippie dude hanging out in his own boat checking out boys in another boat gets eaten. "Hey boys what're you doing? You alright over there? Wanna come in my boat? Sit on my lap? Have some Jesus juice? Hey boys!"

The best things about this scene is the way the mechanical shark slowly sinks in the water and how real the fake leg looks. The leg jiggles when it hits the bottom. That's so righteous!

From here on out, we have ourselves a different kind of movie. It's primarily about the three men and the shark. That's it. The three vastly different men against nature. It's quite terrific.

Apparently, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss hated each other. And like they said in Chicago this is one business where that doesn't matter one bit. The fact that they hated each other and the characters hated each other made for a number of great scenes in this film.

In my opinion, Shaw goes over the top in a couple of places but for the most part he's terrific.

The next exterior shot looks like it was shot on an ideal day. Beautiful. Not so overcast. The gist of the shot, imho, is showing the contrast of the weathered boat and the shiny new equipment Hooper is bringing onboard. The old tried and true ways versus science and high tech gizmos. Both succeed and fail during their journey.

Quint burns Hooper and Hooper makes faces. More humor to get us through.

Quint on the crow's nest shot. It's a great shot in that you have to take into account that the camera and the cameraman were even higher up. It makes me dizzy everytime I watch it.

Oh good, I haven't missed the whole thing (I followed along on my phone for a while, but that got obnoxious real quick).

Thank goodness you're pausing the picture to post!

Now to catch up!
