JAWS!

We watched Jaws Sunday night in the pool. Elanor enjoyed it – although she did get a little unnerved when Quinn got bitten in half. Before the movie, we talked a lot about what was to come, the shark was a machine, there would be fake spurting blood, the music was spooky… overall she took it all very well. I admit it, when my kids were little I let them watch way more violence than sex. Chris, Jeff, if you are reading this feel free to back me up here. they turned out just fine!

Christopher shared this trailer with me and I think it's fun enough to post. It's entitled "Must Love Jaws". I know Jaws and am of a certain age (55) so what struck me duriong the movie were all the 1970s era parts of this movie. The hair, glasses, interiors – it was a kick!

  1. I have never seen “Jaws” though I too am 55. I figured I’d have nightmares for weeks. But it’s really part of the culture of our generation. I loved “Must Love Jaws”, and the hairstyles, glasses and music. What a hoot! Thanks for sharing.

  2. That trailer is too funny–did you see the next one, “Brokeback to the Future”? Goes to show how things can be manipulated with just a bit of editing and the right music!!
    And, yes, I loooooove Jaws. Robert Shaw was The Coolest Guy Ever.

  3. watching jaws was always an end of summer tradition in my family. we’re scattered to the winds now, but i think i’ll watch it before going back to school just for old time’s sake.
