Omg the intro and the outro to this are a mess. We're so dumb sometimes. Also I remembered its CLOSE encounters, not FOURTH encounters ... sigh

I don't remember the humans being the bad guys. Like the movie it's a man vs. nature story.

2020-10-26 11:32:24 +0000 UTCThey meant to show the shark more, but Bruce the mechanical shark broke down a lot. In the end that was a good thing -- not seeing the monster was scarier.

2020-10-26 11:31:14 +0000 UTCIt's a long time since I read it, but from what I remember it is a good book. The humans are the bad guys in it.

2020-10-26 10:56:26 +0000 UTCI didn't!! I was so focused on the damn shark that I missed everything else LOL. I did see it when I rewatched it though. What a great little cameo!

2020-10-26 09:13:11 +0000 UTCYeah, I think I read about that somewhere but the way he told it was just extraordinary. I really loved that scene. and Robert Shaw did a great job delivering that monologue.

2020-10-26 09:12:53 +0000 UTCDid you see it? In the scene when the shark attacks the boat the first time and Brody pulls his pistol from his bag, they caught a meteor on film behind him. You can see it streak across the sky.

2020-10-26 07:51:54 +0000 UTCThe story of the USS Indianapolis is true.
Kelly Parks
2020-10-26 07:44:00 +0000 UTCYes. Brody was a New York cop.

2020-10-26 07:21:52 +0000 UTCThe guy with the glasses doing the news report from the beach was Peter Benchley, author of the book the movie is based on.

2020-10-26 07:05:50 +0000 UTCThe big town council guy in the purple suit is Carl Gottlieb, the screenwriter for the movie.

2020-10-26 06:45:21 +0000 UTCIt's well established that Greenland sharks live to be more than 400 years old.

2020-10-26 06:33:14 +0000 UTCIt's not being without the beach -- it's being without the business the beach brings in. Their income is mostly the summer months.

2020-10-26 06:30:05 +0000 UTCJust fyi, $3000 in 1975 had the buying power (adjusted for inflation) of $14,500 today. The $10,000 Quint asked for is about $48,000 today.

2020-10-26 06:29:41 +0000 UTCIt's the 70's -- specifically, yes, 1975. I saw this in the theater when it first came out. (I was 13). Scared the shit out of me. I didn't go swimming for a long time.

2020-10-26 06:15:02 +0000 UTCIf your looking for a fun shark movie, I suggest The Meg with Jason Statham. I actually liked that one. This was a fun watch, it had been a while since I'd seen it. Loved your reactions, you ladies were cracking me up!
