The nighttime scene of singing/scar comparing/U.S.S. Indianapolis story telling/shark attacking blows me away every time I see it.

I read this with an inner rage of ‘shut your whore mouth about Jaws man’. That’s one movie to just leave the f**k alone. It is Spielberg’s best and I will go to my grave loving that film.

what a great shame that they couldn’t find a way to fit the magnificent Quint into this meme.  Have any of the pharma CEO’s pitching HCQ as a treatment died recently from the virus biting them in half?

Amen. I will go to the mat for this movie as a piece of film, and on an issue level: if more cops were like Brody (i.e. NOT deeply enchanted with themselves as heroic he-men), the world would be a better place.

I happened to catch Jaws about 2-3 weeks into the pandemic and the similarity of that situation to watching the Lt Gov of Texas basically telling the senior citizens of Texas to “take one for the team” and launch themselves headfirst into the shark’s mouth...well that was one big guffaw I let out when that epiphany…

Wanted to reply to your point about the mayor separate from my other post. You can really see what motivates Larry and why he’s doing what he’s doing at the scene at the hospital when Michael feel out of the sailboat. Larry starts rehearsing his presser right there in the halls absolving himself of culpability and…

A f’en men (plus this is one of my all time favorite movies so I’ll fight for it). Here is a meme my cousing shared with me back in April that I think fits in here nicely:

Yeah, that’s the right take.

You misunderstand the movie. Brody is not a cop, he’s a sheriff - an elected official. And more, he’s a real leader, concerned about the welfare of his people.

Against this social backdrop, the absurdity of the 45-year-old mother of all summer blockbusters, Jaws, has never been clearer. It is the story of a cop, with no background in marine biology and, in fact, hatred of water, taking it upon himself to hunt a great white shark, a vulnerable apex predator whose survival is…

The cop vs. shark angle seems like a poor fit with the BLM movement. If I were to analogize current events to Jaws, it’d to compare COVID-19 opening issues with the mayor’s decision to keep the beaches open for the sake of the economy despite the obvious evidence of danger.

Mayor Larry Vaughn is the villain of the movie.

The opening paragraphs are not any better. Trying to link current events to a movie just because it happens to have a cop as the main character, especially a 45 year old movie, is just stupid.

Some asshole.

“it will be truly bizarre to see where they land a month from now...”

You know, I have to take back some of the rather unkind things I have said about a co-worker, who insists that we all Lysol the toilet after we use it. I said something like “No one gets sick from a goddamn toilet seat!” but I didn’t think that people were out there licking them.  My bad.

Influenzers amirite

I mean...I did a lot of dumb shit in my 20's(thank god the internet was barely a thing), but imagine being so desperate for attention that you lick a airplane toilet seat. I’m gagging just thinking about it. The Darwin Awards are going to be huge this year.

excuse me. just to clarify. the joke is...that this grown, adult human...licks a toilet seat. in an airplane. and that is the prank they're playing on humanity? do they know...that they had to lick an airplane toilet seat to do this prank? and that it's on the internet so when their 15 minutes are done and they need…

If there is any good left in this world we will soon find out that his last name is not send, that’s just how he thought he was supposed to send out his first tweet.
