jaws is on amc right now

what kind of beer is Quint drinking? I've never seen that brand before.

 

Fer cryin out loud, phoniks...chill out with your kooky summer shark obsession. Or, better yet, head to Frisco, where you've never been, & wade around with a double whopper cooked rare, hold the mayo, from your favorite food emporium.

For the record, best scene in that stoopid movie...?
Robert Shaw's monologue regarding the USS Indianapolis. Much of Shaw's monologue was completely improvised off-script.

 

Have another PBR, blubber buoy - - and remember that Peter Benchley (you do read, don't you?) stated that if he had known what severe damage his book 'Jaws' would have done to the species & to the ocean, he never would have written the book.

Try not to get all loud & excited when your buoy Brody gets into it, fantasy land buoy.

You know nothing. Watch the movie & try to control yourself, miss fidget.

 

Quint's drinkin' Amigansett, duh.

Yankee is right about the best scene in the movie- but the second best is when Quint gets chomped. I think it's one of the gnarliest in movie history... after hearing his haunting diatribe about the Indianapolis... the agonizing pace with which the scene proceeds... the fact that he is burying a machete hilt-deep as his bones are crushed and organs punctured, before he succumbs to the grisly fate of his fellow seaman. Amazing scene.

And yeah, according to cinema, in the battle of man vs. shark, the inner-city cop comes out on top. Take that, animatronic hellfish!

 

Agreed.

I was getting my SCUBA certification in So Calif when the movie came out in June 1975. Friends thought I was nuts.

BTW, I paddled out this morning off Dam Neck. Lots of bait fish jumping. Lots of dolphins too. Water had that fishy smell, and a number of boats were just offshore with lines in the water. There were very few ride-able waves; so after an hour, I packed it up and headed home.

Apparently lots of folks are under the impression (perhaps from watching "Flipper") that if there are dolphins in the water, there are no sharks around.

 

Looks like Nagger IPA. BWAHAHAHAHA

 

Narragansett?

 

Never seen that brand of beer before, we don't get that brand out here and I guess I have t seen it on my past EC journeys. Thanks for the help fellers

 

'Gansett has been piss water since time forever, buddies in RI laugh at it.

Sort of like Genny Scream Ale in upstate NY. To know it is to suffer the Genny Blues the next day, ugh.

 

Does anyone remember this?




Now it's true ... you really can track her with the receiver!

 

Really good show on PBS last night about tracking Great Whites in the Cape Cod area last night. Local fisherman and biologists are shocked at the sheer numbers they are seeing in comparison to 20 years ago. Something to do with the growing number of seals, hmmmm....

 

I liked, in Jaws 2, when the sheriff was on the beach and sees a giant black mass heading for swimmers. He freaks, and starts shooting (poison bullets I think) at it. His son runs up yelling "It's just bluefish!" I've always thought that THAT would be a better reason to clear the water.

 

I recommend reading the book. It was a little different from the movie. not better or worse. Just different. 1 difference of many is that Quint uses a fetal dolphin for bait and tells Hooper he got it from the mom after she jumped on board and ate a bottle of sleeping pills.
