    The insert on mine says to go to www.UniversalDigitalCopy.com/JawsBluRay . Using that link gets you to the Ultraviolet and Digital Copy page. At least that worked for me...

    It's not funny-bad. It's headsmacking-bad. There may be a drinking game to create in the movie, too. I'm not entirely sure. Siskel and Ebert have it right:

    If he did, good job. At least he had a hand in all the Jurassic Park movies and Zemeckis directed all three Back to the Future movies. Sure, putting them in one package is a way to make sure 3 and 4 sell, but that would also REALLY highlight the flaws in both movies.

    Me neither. I can see a standalone Jaws 2, since it's a pretty good movie, and then double feature of 3 and 4. If this Jaws release wasn't part of the Universal anniversary celebration, I think the box would have been the way to go. But there's no way Universal wants to associate Jaws with...

    It could just be my memory of the DVD from years ago, but the attack on the pilot under water was kinda freaky.

    I stand by my old comment. I certainly wasn't drinking that night.

    Jaws should be very fresh in my head, but I can't for the life of me remember if the movie starts underwater or not. My first instinct is it doesn't, but I'm old and tired. Yeah, that's my excuse...

    Ya know, Jaws 4 starts out fine enough. I actually like the opening titles showing the shark point of view. And that's pretty much the end of the good stuff. That entire movie is just laughable. I think I prefer 3 to 4, to be honest. There's just a little more I like at SeaWorld...

    It's been forever since I've seen Jaws 3 and TOTALLY forgot about that part!

    I don't remember *where* I got this thought, but having all four sharks be in the same family is a very strong memory in my head. Like the Mama got killed in the first, the Daddy electrocuted in the second, a kid blew up in the third and the other kid got impaled in the fourth. I may be...

    Then we'll agree to disagree. This is a useless conversation in the long run. I've got much better things to do than debate the meaning of the word "is" with you. Like trying to figure out who should be the authority on what a great film is. To each their own.

    So in order to be able to evaluate anything (food, culture, art), you need to have been alive when it was released and have an intimate knowledge of the world at that time? I would argue the opposite, actually: if the product is actually "great," it doesn't matter when it is viewed or...

    If I understand what we're talking about correctly, there's a shot in First Contact of Picard in his command chair which *looks* like a simultaneous push in and zoom out.

    Yeah, you missed out on the slipcover, which is kind of ironic. I got mine at Target and the disc was inside the clear plastic security box. Mine had the slipcover attached...and the cashier didn't mutilate it when she was removing the plastic!

    I thought of gummy sharks last night before I went to bed. It sounds very appropriate.

    Let me tell you: I have been watching Jaws and all of the sequels since I was old enough to "sneak" watching HBO at my grandparents house (probably around five years old). Up til now, only one shot has really freaked me out for some reason: the shark coming at the screen at the end of Jaws 3...

    Okay, I need to amend what I said. My local BBY didn't have any books or BD's. There were eight DVD's on the shelf. Associate told me they "sold out." I went down the street to Target and got one. I'll price match tomorrow. There was signage posted which said each store would...

    BBY.com shows almost every store in my area has the non-digibook version. Heading out right now to pick it up and then come home to watch. It's rare I watch a movie the day I get it. The last time that happened was...mmm...maybe Mama Mia?
