Graphic perfection.
Camera work exceptional.
As an audio engineer, I appreciate all the intense tactical work. To compile and entire audio/visual masterpiece is nothing short of genius.
This freak show is awesome to behold.
The Thing is another one of my cherished horror movies that aged very well. Both it and Jaws terrified me as a kid. The lifeless eyes on that shark.... Shudder.
Thanks for the invitation. We’ll be right over. You got any beer in the fridge?
The drinking scene in the boat, where Cllint recounts the story of The Indianapolis - one of the best scenes in film history, period.
Spielberg peaked with Jaws, it’s been downhill ever since.
Also contains one of the best few minutes of acting ever committed to cellulose. Everyone who’s seen it knows what I’m talking about.
Funny thing is that the mechanical shark ALWAYS broke down every day, which added to the cost of the production.
Watching Jaws My livingroom my 64” Samsung plasma

In the book, Hooper screws Brodie’s wife.
How’s the Kintner boy doing so far?
I’m going to be conservative and say I’ve watched that movie 30 times. The only other movie I have watched as many times is “The GOdfather”

Mr. Vaughn, what we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, a.. a eating machine. It is really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks.
Saw the movie when it first came out...
I think it was Drefuess who has his hand dangling over the side of the boat when the shark suddenly jumps up out of the water...
It happens so fast and so sudden that I clapped my hands together in fright...
unfortunately I was holding a bag of popcorn between my hands and when I clapped my hands the contents went flying up in the air and out for rows...
cries and gasps of “Oh” from scared patrons being rained on with popcorn “sharks” added to the experience..
my husband mumbled that he was never going to buy me popcorn ever again...
LOL
One of the great aspects of the movie is that it conceivably could have happened...as opposed to some subsequent horror knockoffs in which alligators busted up through sidewalks or orcas blew up castles.
I was riding the shore road between Oaks Bluff and Edgartown and saw the location for the final scene. The ship was 75% submerged and was only 10 yards from the beach.
Ditto on the audio aspect of the film. One facet of this is Spielberg’s uncanny ability to record overlapping dialog, BOTH streams of which are important to the story and yet avoid cacophony. He does it several times in the film and it always strikes me when I watch it.
