Oh yeah. JAWS is his best movie. As much as I’ve enjoyed, even loved watching some of his films over the years, JAWS is the only one I’ve watched repeatedly, and would happily watch at any time. 

I loved that scene because those little fuckers were GEESE. And geese are truly, genuinely terrifying. 

Pteradons! In the giant birdcage!! That’s III.

I felt exactly the same way. I just totally didn’t understand the adulation and enormous financial success of the movie. It was okay. 

I loved The Lost World! The general excoriation of it has always baffled me, though I’ve never felt like revisiting it, particularly.

Then it should include this also:

Haaaahahahaha - I can’t believe I didn’t get this the first time I read it. Especially because LITERALLY the first thing I hear whenever I hear “Password” is “Aristophanes”. 

I had a very intelligent, well-educated boyfriend long ago who would say he’d made a concerted effort to do something. He meant concentrated effort! But, ah well.

It’s a doggy dog world, man.

This seemed to be a really common mistake about twenty years ago. The word must have been seen somewhere and it spread? I don’t know - both in print and casual use. But now it’s pretty much gone. Of course, English doesn’t HAVE a word or even phrase which means what people want “penultimate” to mean. The French do:…
