Shark allegedly responsible for death of Alex Kitner caught. (Update: Ben Gardner's boat found; beaches still open)
- Thread starter Lionel Mandrake

A lot of conservatives probably identified with him.
Boris Johnson's hero is the mayor who kept the beaches open in Jaws. That's fine by me
The PM thinks Amity mayor Larry Vaughn is ‘the real hero of Jaws’. Maybe that’s why he’s emulating his ‘the beaches are open’ politics as coronavirus spreads around the worldwww.theguardian.com
No connection to how he handled a pandemic...
i wonder how coked to the gills they were when making jaws 3. what a collosally stupid movie
A shark will stalk you and your family everywhere you go, until your clan is no more.
I saw this movie when i was 8. I could tell back then that this was gonna end up in top 10 worst sfx shots of all time.Fauci: "For a pandemic as serious as this, we need a government response of equal seriousness."
Trump Administration:
Nice catch. Can anyone confirm if it was Ben Gardener that caught the shark? Where's Ben, can he be reached for comment?

What if the Shark's mother comes back for revenge? We should just ignore it and let some people get eaten for the greater good of our town.
Mrs. Jaws, Brucette, was the antagonist in Jaws 2. That might be the mother in Jaws 4. :P

As you all know, Amity means friendship.
We got some islanders right here, their folks aren't from Greenwhich!
The real problem is the summer ginks come down here in June, and that hardware store prick ain't got one thing I ordered. Not a beach umbrella. Not a sun lounger. No beach balls.

As somebody whose parents never showed any real affection for each other when they were together, that line was bizarrely formative to me.
I can't believe some people were tricked by it. Does that make me old?
Just leaning how much this film is mimicking COVID. "If we act now we might be able to save August."
It's kind of amazing that the shark looks worse as the series goes on. One time they showed this shit on TV when I was younger, and the version they showed can't have been pan and scanned properly for broadcast, because you could see more vertical info on screen than you were ever supposed to see. Boom mics and lighting was visible in some scenes, and a lot of scenes with the shark had the rigging visible underneath it. The original Jaws was awesome, and even Jaws 2 and 3 had their charms, but The Revenge was bloody awful, even as a child I knew it sucked. When it was jumping out the water and they played that cheap sounding roaring effect, I was laughing my head off.Oh it definitely is.
that was very good, thanks for the recommendation. its shocking how large of an industry it is and how little worth 95% of the rest of the shark is.
Spielberg had the good sense to realize the shark looked bad and show it as little as possible. A byproduct of that was creating this incredible tension and suspense in the film because you don't really see the shark all that much in the first half or so.
I still want to know how SeaWorld got convinced to sign onto the film. Who thinks to themselves "Wow, our brand can be dramatically improved by being featured in a film where a lot of people die at one of our parks," beyond being offered all the coke they could snort.
I'm sure it would have been just as bad, but Jaws 3, People 0 couldn't have been any worse an endeavor and would have at least been something different.
Being the best of a bad bunch ain't much to brag about, but I will grant you that it's just odd enough to stick out from the first sequel's excessive laziness and The Revenge's poverty-tier execution of a genuinely terrible idea.
Jaws 2 isn't a bad film. It's just a poor follow to an all time great and kind of sits in that limbo.
You then have Jaws 3 and The Revenge, which the latter is dull as anything.
Watched it this evening myself with my dad, and I'm not going to lie: I'm imagining how certain scenes in the film would look in 4K and HDR and I kinda got hot and bothered by it.
