Did you know in every Spielberg movie he puts in a shooting star? Just a little movie trivia for ya there.

Here's another movie quote, from one of my Laserdiscs::

"Wanna see something really scary"??

I did not know that, but now I'll be looking for that in the future.

Kind of like how I didn't know that Superman appears in every Seinfeld episode until someone told me.

Actually, that's a new one on me. I'll have to top it. I'll also have to start watching carefully through Spielberg movies.

Here's something you may not have known: In "Jaws" the novel, and in the original screenplay, Richard Dreyfuss is supposed to be eaten in the shark cage scene while Quint is pulled under and drowned at the end. Brody is the only survivor.

The script was changed while shooting live-action shark footage for the movie. The shark attacked the cage while it was empty, and the footage was so dramatic, they changed the script and let Dreyfuss escape from the cage so they could use it. They also decided that Quint drowning would be too anti-climactic, so they made HIM the one to get eaten.
