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

If 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!

It'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.

Just 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.

It's not being without the beach -- it's being without the business the beach brings in. Their income is mostly the summer months.

It's well established that Greenland sharks live to be more than 400 years old.

The big town council guy in the purple suit is Carl Gottlieb, the screenwriter for the movie.

Kelly Parks

The guy with the glasses doing the news report from the beach was Peter Benchley, author of the book the movie is based on.

Kelly Parks

Yes. Brody was a New York cop.

The story of the USS Indianapolis is true.

Did 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.

Yeah, 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.

nostalgicgirl

I 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!

It'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.

Kelly Parks

They 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.

Kelly Parks

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