What's the difference in the endings? Is it who survived? (still scratching my head over that one.) Maybe eating a couple of leading characters was the shark's dream sequence?
On the DVD it's from the back but what you describe sounds not unfamiliar...
There are some pretty decent extras on the DVD of Number 2. Even the menu is nicer than the J1 Blu ray.
OMG, The Revenge 4 has a couple more familiar faces from the first movie. When Ellen gets a visit from Amity...
I'm with you there, PN. the doc has its own thread here with one of the filmmakers posting. you could ask him. I have never gotten an answer to that question.
I just remember seeing Sackler's name on the cover.
You should see how much the Jaws 2 Log goes for now. I could have sworn that book was written by one of the young actors, but...
I had read the Jaws 2 Log of course along with the novelization by, wasn't it Howard Sackler? and don't recall much of it, but since we heard so much about how godawful difficult it was to shoot the first one in the Atlantic, all the troubles with the horizon and the shark, you'd figure they...
My father's side of the family is very Italian, and when the Godfather movie opened in our town I went with him. I noticed some of the Italian dialogue got hearty laughs among the goombhas, while the subtitles were very innocuous. So I don't think they quite match.
Aaand back to Jaws...
Hmm, Godfather... serving pasta? Wedding cake? got any mattresses for people to go to? I see a plate of cannoli with some packs of gum next to them, so people can leave the gum and take the cannoli...
Yeah I take lousy pics myself. So struedel and pink lemonade and pinecones on seats? Popcorn in a Bright Cooper Kettle held in warm woolen mittens?? Blueberries? You gonna do the sing along or regular? There were some crazy costumes when it played the Bowl here.
ooh, interesting. You mean the really nice girl, that was being kind to one of the little kids? I kinda recall my reaction when I first saw that, was that it was really bad, but it figured... the second film to me felt like Friday the 13th at sea... it was just like indiscriminate munching...
No one's arguing with you, buddy, though you may not be the oldest one around here, maybe younger than me, but I'll admit it's possible and concede that you may feel like it...
Now what you guys have done is alter the coarse of my weekend. I had cut way back on my Netflix to just streaming...
I know the first two open underwater pushing forward to the Jaws theme, and that theme signals the shark, therefore it's the shark's POV. I would imagine the other two would at least open the same way.
Ditto here!
I think it was a pre release Jaws 2 TV interview where I may recall maybe Lorraine Gary saying the shark in Jaws 2 was the first one's "mate." I had the novelization but don't recall if it brought that up. I just remember that story floating around before the film came out. I...
What I heard was a somewhat simpler version of what you said, but your idea sounds more fun.
And yeah, since Uni is famous for having sequilitis, what about releasing Blu Sequel Packs for Jaws, and Airport? Although I imagine they will eventually market Jaws 3D separately.
Does anyone...
Does anyone remember in the first sequel that there was a backstory explaining the appearance of the new shark that was never mentioned in the actual film?
And why the french title for the sequel could not be the original French title plus the 2?
Exactly.
Isn't this an example of what is called Passive-Aggressive? Todd, instead of going on and on like you have, why not address the person you're really talking about? Could it be that the person you are targeting is the one who brought up the subject in the first place, but has also left...
Wetting the street is S.O.P. on movie and TV shoots. Always, always, always, when I've worked on a shoot, they wet down the street. They have some reason for it that I forgot long ago, like the street won't show up otherwise, idunno, but they do it ALL the time.
I don't recall if I read it, or it was an on-camera interview, but somewhere I believe SS has said that the old story of Jaws having a 3 act structure (which I seem to recall hearing years ago) is wrong, and for him the first act ends with the shot through Quint's window as the orca pulls away...
Not contradicting. I go with the strongest memory, and more often than not it's when I first saw the film. With E.T. and BTTF I could even tell you which theatres I saw them in. ET was at several.
I think I've already stated I got that and find that a bad idea, shortchanging the film and its...
Maybe they can do something about all the cows, too...
So Eric, how about that screening? Who came, what did you serve, what were the featurettes, where did you put the speakers, how often did the popcorn fly. etc?
Hey Kguy. I agree. With many vintage movies I have a tendency to reach for them at the time of year I first saw them or at least the season in which they were released. Remembering that when I was growing up movies tended to be in release for quite a while, and if I liked a movie, I bought...
she looked old in the scene before her son was eaten by a shark, but anyway, in The Birds, after a million choruses of that annoying song the kids were singing, weren't you kinda rooting for the birds at that point?
Right, nobody you know:)
And yet clearly there are others who don't and haven't.:):)
A point to consider for anyone referencing the lady's actual and apparent age: at 45-47 she is just as biologically likely to be a grandmother as a mother. (to a 10-11 year old)
Regarding the extended...
You wanna get into all the blindingly bright stage and floor lights, thick makeup and rubber bands it took to make Lucy not look like Laura's mother? ;) Okay, when I first saw Lucy and Laura I didn't think much about it, but then at first I also thought Julie Andrews, Sally Field and Chitty...
