On IFC, PST.
There are better films, sure, but none more entertaining. Quint's monologue is up there with the best scenes in moviedom.

JAWS is one of those classics where I have to watch it every time it's on. Amazing movie.
-
I have it on now

Same here. I swear to God I've seen it 50 times. All-time favorite.

JAWS 2 was pretty good too. JAWS 3D was just awful and the special effects were laughable. JAWS The Revenge took it way out there... especially, the shark growling like Godzilla and following them all the way to the Bahamas.. lol

Happens, bro. Steer clear of the risky beaches is all. Fucking movie had hunters by the hundreds going out, killing whites. Australians, mostly. Attacks are incredibly rare, I've studied this shit since I was seven.
Majority, if not all, are unintentional. Whites don't eat people; they only attack mistakingly when they confuse people for pinnipeds. Visual hunters, as far as we know.

Peter Benchley created the hysteria writing that book/story.

Ah, one and done. Passable at best. Very few sequels are worthy of the original. Godfather 2, Terminator 2, Aliens, Silence of the Lambs being obvious exceptions.

Yeah, then regretted it and focused his efforts on protecting whites. Not his fault, it was just a great story.
-
Never actually seen it. Saw bits and parts but never sat through it.

Yeah, I saw that in his interview. It was really sad how many people way slaying them for years and years.

I think some attacks are intentional. Let's face it...there's not as much food for them. More people mean more fishing going on and they are going after humans because they are hungry!

If a shark wanted to eat a human there would be nothing left. The fact that they bite and do not devour leads me to suspect that sharks do not hunt humans for food. Either way easy enough to prevent, stay out of the water......

I am staying out of the water. You see we have crocs here. This pic was taken at a local beach.

What That_Dude said. Bite and spit, they never consume. Mistaken attack is the only conclusion. They don't enjoy human meat.

Anything named "Great White" is bound to be persecuted to extinction in today's libtard society. Except maybe the females...
Oh lawdy, I done made a funnee and now the whiny liberal bastiges will squeeeeel "racist" like the piggies they are. Fook 'em. Fook em' all to Hades. ;D
The film skeered me outta the water forty years ago. The book's opening chapter was terrifying in and of itself. I read the entire book in a few hours. Skeeery indeed.

You mean sharks don't roar?

My co workers dad was one of the pilots in the PBYs that came to rescue what was left of the men from the
Wreckage of the USS Indianapolis. I could not imagine what those men lived through, everything the navy taught them about sharks was way off Mark.
-

Meat is meat. Wild animals cannot afford to be finicky. They don't have the developed taste buds of humans. Everyone heard of man eating tigers, crocodiles, polar bears. Indianapolis is a good example, Those sharks were having a buffet. If a carnivore is bigger than you, it will eat you.
-
Jaws is a classic. The scene where Quint tells the story of the Indianapolis is brillant. John Millius worked on that scene.

I figured they're not even hungry. They're just total dicks.

And they know this because they interview them afterwards?
You sure these sharks aren't just saying that to avoid doing hard time?

No evidence whites fit the criteria. Starving shark? Perhaps, I guess. But they never find consumed victims, just those who bleed out from an investigative (and often lethal) bite.
Now bulls, tigers, that's another story.

It was great for its day (I believe it was one of the original blockbusters) but I do not think it has aged well. Saw it again about a year ago; entertaining yes, but looks dated now.
-
Carcharodon carcharias- this is the getbigger of all sharks!!!!! I love that movie!!!!!! Been cage diving with whites.....what an awesome animal.....can eat you all gone, not a trace left! I believe there are 20ft plus ones out there.
If you like white sharks then you will hate Vic Hislop.....he is a douche

Well, it was made in 1974.
I think the mechanical shark looks better than the CGI bullshit we have today.
Acting was really good too. Robert Shaw was great... so underrated.

Totally agree on the effects, but Spielberg did a decent job hiding the shark for most of it. He had to, really; they couldn't get the mechanical one to work. Most of the close-ups are a "puppet."
And yes, nostalgia plays a HUGE part for me. Just a kid, it made an enormous impact. I actually enjoy the acting and dialogue more than the shark.

Say what you want about Roy Scheider but he easily wins Most Tanned Celeb. Even if being tan ran counter to the plot he brought his trademark toastiness. Like in 2010, sealed in a ship in deep space surrounded by pasty ruskies, he looked like he just got back from Hawaii.
Solarium manufacturers mourn.

Fuck yeah, he was. And from what I heard, drunk the entire shoot.

Not quite sure it's a slam dunk, boss.

When watching "Jaws", it was mandatory for me and my friends to find a case of Narragansett beer (if you've seen this movie as many times as I have, you will get the reference).
I used to work in a liquor store that carried this beer. It was cheap as hell and pretty good (I think it was $2.50 a case in the mid 90's).
There were cheaper beers, but the men who were known to cook good seafood (crabs--a tradition in my area, to be served with spaghetti cooked in beer, or clam "steamers") always came in for the Narrangansett.

My pals were more styrofoam-oriented, usually punch.

Never heard this. In what capacity?
Steven Spielberg: I owe three people a lot for this speech. You’ve heard all this, but you’ve probably never heard it from me. There’s a lot of apocryphal reporting about who did what on Jaws and I’ve heard it for the last three decades, but the fact is the speech was conceived by Howard Sackler, who was an uncredited writer, didn’t want a credit and didn’t arbitrate for one, but he’s the guy that broke the back of the script before we ever got to Martha’s Vineyard to shoot the movie.
I hired later Carl Gottlieb to come onto the island, who was a friend of mine, to punch up the script, but Howard conceived of the Indianapolis speech. I had never heard of the Indianapolis before Howard, who wrote the script at the Bel Air Hotel and I was with him a couple times a week reading pages and discussing them.
Howard one day said, “Quint needs some motivation to show all of us what made him the way he is and I think it’s this Indianapolis incident.” I said, “Howard, what’s that?” And he explained the whole incident of the Indianapolis and the Atomic Bomb being delivered and on its way back it was sunk by a submarine and sharks surrounded the helpless sailors who had been cast adrift and it was just a horrendous piece of World War II history. Howard didn’t write a long speech, he probably wrote about three-quarters of a page.
But then, when I showed the script to my friend John Milius, John said “Can I take a crack at this speech?” and John wrote a 10 page monologue, that was absolutely brilliant, but out-sized for the Jaws I was making! (laughs) But it was brilliant and then Robert Shaw took the speech and Robert did the cut down. Robert himself was a fine writer, who had written the play The Man in the Glass Booth. Robert took a crack at the speech and he brought it down to five pages. So, that was sort of the evolution just of that speech.

Sweet, thanks. Probably my all-time favorite scene from any film.

Thought this was another thread about JEWS ruling the economy

No, that's a pic from the gig the band "Great White" did, where the pyro caught the place on fire and a bunch of people died.

still waiting for this movie to come out
