  1. Angrily pressing remote control buttons, sitting in his bourgeois house... "57 channels, and nothin' on." By the way, guys, this is a great new caption thread!
  2. Okay, I can understand an executive wanting this, to save money, etc. But why would a composer attempt this? As an "experiment" to prove what? That he can be easily replaced? Strange.
  3. Yeah, the timing was off for when Ben Gardner's head popped out, and it only got a tepid response from the test audience...so, Spielberg reshot it a few different ways in, I think, Verna Fields' swimming pool, and landed on a take that, as he put it, "made popcorn fly." The "greedy" remark was made because, after that, the audience had its guard up, and popcorn flew less high when the shark first popped out at Brody.
  4. Suddenly, there's a bunch of tickets available for Saturday. Many in a row, which would suggest last-minute cancellations.
  5. I believe Hooper was with them, and they were on his other, smaller boat, called "Fascinating Rhythm." Yeah, I think it was a second unit shoot, and overseen by Joe Alves.
  6. Thanks to good ol' eBay, I was finally able to put my hands on the LIFE 'The Year in Pictures' issue it appeared in, in a two-page spread. The shark actually moved with a nice fluidity, and pretty convincingly I think, in the home movies... Maybe Spielberg decided that less was more.
  7. I can't see the article. What are they, Christmas cookies infused with Williams schnapps?
  8. To my knowledge, 'The Shark is Still Working' was the first and only documentary to show some of beach extra Carol Fligor's home movies, until this latest one.
  9. Then I'll definitely raise a "Willi" in honour of the Maestro after the concert!
  10. Could I get this at a Späti? lol Because otherwise @Bespin Copilot will be ringing you every 5 minutes.
  11. Why not? Roy Scheider narrated it, and it's his last screen credit. But it's interesting because it touches on all aspects of 'Jaws,' including talking to people like Roger Kastel and Percy Rodriguez. It's also a love letter to the fans, or so-called "finatics." If you count yourself as one, it's definitely worth your time.
