I missed Jaws!!!! I cannot believe I missed it. I must have let my daughters watch something because I remember it was raining…hmmm, Harry Potter, maybe that was it. We did catch Jaws 2. Roy Scheider was still in that one and the woman who played his wife, Lorraine Gary…and the Mayor and some of those annoying towns’ people. Richard Dreyfuss couldn’t make it of course, and hopefully you remember what happened to Quint in the first movie.
I was too tired for Jaws 3, I mean Jaws 3D which was the one where we gave Lorraine Gary as Ellen Brody a vacation…but she now has a cute all grown up son, Randy Quaid. I didn’t even know that movie was 3D. I still haven’t checked it out with 3D glasses.
What is even more unbelievable is Jaws The Revenge (Jaws 4). Maybe they thought it would sell better if it wasn’t numbered. There we have the now crazy Ellen Brody with a love interest played by Michael Caine…they were making up for her not having an affair in Jaws (I hear that was in Peter Benchley’s novel, she slept with the Mayor or her boss…both gross).
What do I care, I own the DVD…what I really want to know is when Ellen Brody gets eaten by a shark.
So do you still watch movies that you’ve seen before, and even yet, actually own a copy of in your movie library?

I caught Jaws, the original the other night. How funny you would mention it. :) I loved the first one. I was a mere 18 when it first came out and remember being terrified of bath water after that.
Movie making has changed considerable since then and Steve Spielberg has become a much better film maker, though you gotta hand to him, Jaws was one of a kind and is still one of the coolest movies ever.

OMG, there was a Jaws 4? Wasn’t there one with the tag line: “This Time, It’s Personal” ?
And while my Netflix queue is maxed out at 500, I own virtually no movies.

Hello to my two favorite Mags! Jaws was great. I got the anniversary copy a few years ago and there was a bit in there about that dang mechanical shark not working most of the time. LOL.
Personal, those crazy Brodys always thought it was personal. Cuckoo. Cuckoo.
