So Jaws was late, and I'll tell you why, and incidentally if someone has a protip on how to keep a party cool when it's a hot day that would be super appreciated.
Obviously the answer is there was a party. Big drunk one. Pizza and roofs torn off, that kind of good stuff. Nah, wasn't really "big," just seven or eight of us, but definitely booze. Since I can't drink, I was on glowstick and music duty. We made this really awesome sort of glow ball thing with eight or ten or however many little flexible glowsticks and threw it around. Also we played a game called Cards Against Humanity, which is really fun but apparently my sense of humor isn't quiiiiite up to par for that game. I lost a lot.
So to answer what I'm sure is the question on everyone's mind going into this, yes I know about the shark.
I also know there's a very famous two note musical theme in this movie. Every music teacher ever has done that one, and everyone else likes to go "look how clever I am I can play Jaws on the piano." You know I never understood why music teachers thought a bunch of 8-year olds would be up on a movie about a shark that, I'm betting, eats people, but whatever floats your boat.
So yeah I know there will be a shark and I am pretty damn sure it will eat people. That's all I've got though. Do I really need anything else? I need to watch a movie. :D
Alright Zanuck, Brown, do your worst
I hear the music
That's different, I was expecting just the two notes JOHN MOTHERFUCKING WOILLIAMS
Hippies.
MISTER SPIELBERG. WHAT EVEN IS TYHIS. YOU GUYS GOT ME A PRESENT DESSED UP LIKE A SHARK?

Wait are they about to be rectums about this
"and if people can't get eaten here, well, they'll get eaten somewhere else"
A BOAT PROPELLER
I'm filled with a strange and perverse desire to yell shark in a crowded theatre.
Still got all of them? Cool, get back in there for some subtraction lessons.
Also I saw that big lady go out, the shork;s about to have a god-burrito of his own

Hey Jaws! Jaws! I got you a feast. Take your pick :D
Oh for the love of god don't just shoot into the water blindly
Autopsy.
What is that word he's saying squallus?
Hi there Jaws. How's it going fishy
so is this faked somehow? Or is that like Baby Jaws or something
Heyo Quinn
A WHAAAAAT? Duh.
This whole autofellatio party they're having here, that's gotta stop
Easy solutions. Go for it guys. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BE REASONABLE okay well I actually sort of agree with him insofar as the place. Move it and THEN cut itTHE FUCK are you slapping him for
go slap the mayor
Seriously who told you to blame the guy who wanted to close the beaches I believe he was already aware of that, lady
Guys that was not Jaws. It might have been like Fangs or Teeth or Maxilla yeah I know that word I'm awesome my point is can family bonding time fuck off I want to see the mayor punched in his fucking smug rectum face
PFFFT self-hospitality. Awkward
Well no, the little boy and the girl are in sharks. He's outside of sharks
Annnd the shoe drops
That seems like an excessive amount of wine. Are you aware there's a shape of glass specially calibrated for wine?
"Before sharks knew what they were missing" I'm amused by that idea
He can do anything he wants, he exactly
Now I've been present at a fish cutting-open thing and it was a stinky stinky business. That must smell like pure undiluted vinegar-saturated ass
AND IT ATE A CAR
heheh we think alike, Chief
The shark's got rogue levels? Explains all the sneak attacks :D
Today I am Funny Jeremy
Sure but there's been two sharkings
"Can we get the late show on that?" Sure but it's just the All Night Shark Channel
You know I'll give him that little thing of logic, an island's not all that island when you're on the island

Yes because graffiti that IS TRUE I might add is much worse than, you know, food
"Swims, eats, makes little sharks, that's all." Simple life.
Well this is going to be a terrible thing, isn;t it? Hey Jaws, I've got an extensive selection of imported meats for you
This isn't a matter of if, it's going to happen and it's going to be ugly.
Nobody's going in the water, eh? Are you telling me they're all smarter than you? Oh what are you doing don't do what he says he's an idiot
Look at them they're scared
This is going to escalate and how
I'm just waiting for the music. And the stress.

There's a mad wonder to Quinn. War veteran, professional murderbeast eliminator
One of them isn't getting out of this. Calling it now. I'm just enthralled by this story

SURPRISE I AM OVER HERE did you miss me?
"You shit disturbers are about to learn what a shark looks like when he gets chippy"

STRESS WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED DOWN THERE
Jaws has mad ranks in Hide, just saying
hehehe the jaunty little sea shanty instrumental
"Who let the ocean board my ship?"
I'd just like to say that I am not on board with Captain Quinn. In the agreement sense or the being on his boat sense.
They're actually going to do the cage
ahhhh the air I was wondering if we'd use it
spit? why spit?
I hear shark and there he is. Time to end Jaws.
You have to hit him inside the mouth, right? That could suck

GOOD DAY WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUY SOME MAGAZINES I AM SHARK

Oh fuck he's gone isn't he

You don't even have a boat now. Jaws owned your boat. Hooper's underwater, Quinn's chumHELLO THERE my god that shark hates them fuck this stress is in my shoulders now
"THIS IS ALSO MINE."
Is there anything that does NOT belong to Jaws?
MOTHER LOVING KABOOM that's a pretty convincing critical hit there. Death Star: Shark Edition
Now wait how the hell do they get back home?
And then a third shark shows up and eats them for being cocky
"No." Yeah, that about sums it up.
Fucking gulls. I hhhhhhhhhhate gulls.
And that's a wrap. How about that?
Okay then! I've finally seen a pretty famous movie. And it was quite a thing indeed. There goes the Spielberg tag annnnd we are done! I'll see you all after some more The Hobbit.
I think I was introduced to the famous two-note musical theme by the way it was spoofed in Corn Pops commercials. Not to be confused with the three-note musical theme from Bambi, eh?
ReplyDeleteNo idea what that is.
DeleteI saw this in a theater that plays retro movies; when Quint scraped his fingernails down the chalkboard, it was so loud and unpleasant that over half the viewers were holding their ears.
ReplyDeleteI saw this one alone at 2am when I was eight on the tv. In the dark. I weathered the film pretty nicely.
ReplyDeleteI just was not able to sleep after that...
"Holy balls guys how is this movie so much stress I haven't even seen the fish yet"
ReplyDeleteFun fact- The original plan was to have more Jaws in it, but they had a lot of problems getting the shark to work. It's generally agreed this helped make a better movie in the end.
That's funny. :D
DeleteLucky them, I guess. There was definitely one scene where the shark looked ridiculously fake. The rest of the time, the little peeks here and there were awesome.
"I'm filled with a strange and perverse desire to yell shark in a crowded theatre."
ReplyDeleteI cracked up. And then I tweeted that. :D (With a link to this blog, of course.)
I was half expecting a mention about Quint's story about his experience on (off) the Indianapolis.
ReplyDeleteTrue story. It explains his badassery and severe dislike of sharks in general.
I couldn't even think of things to type. I loved it; it was fascinating and I think my brain just didn't want to interrupt. I mean, it's a horrible horrible story and worse that it's true, but the delivery is fantastic.
DeleteNow that you've seen the movie, check this out this SNL classic parody: https://screen.yahoo.com/land-shark-jaws-ii-224409387.html
ReplyDelete'"Can we get the late show on that?" Sure but it's just the All Night Shark Channel'
ReplyDeleteThat, or they'll put it on Shark Week.
As a 1975 release, this is the oldest film you've watched for this project. Holds up pretty well for a film that's nearly 40 doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt's also my brother's favourite film :)
This movie is more than twice as old as me. That's crazy. Literally twenty years older than me.
DeleteThat drunk scene in the cabin? According to the actors, they were truly and deeply loaded and ad-libbed a lot of that. Pretty amazing.
ReplyDelete"spit? why spit?"
ReplyDeleteScuba divers rub spit on the inside of their goggles to keep them from fogging up. The script is great. "I got no spit" tells the viewers that he is so scared sh!tless his mouth is dry.
Didn't know that. At this rate I'm going to be a wrecking ball come trivia night. :D
DeleteOh, good. I'm glad that you got the stress and tension without the movie causing you, as Alien did, to question the existence of a kind and loving God.
ReplyDelete
