Sometime in the mid 1970’s, I bought a Heathkit Color TV, after two years, I called a local TV repairman. He came and took the partially assembled unit to use for parts in his business!

There’s that word again.
“Star” has to be the most misused word in journalism. Everyone who appeared in a show or movie, is not a star.
If she was a star, she wouldn’t have been the first one killed off. “Stars get better parts than that. Simple.

Agreed.

Given the movie, better “in peace” than “in *pieces*” ...

That movie Jaws freaked me out so damn much when I saw it in 1975. I was around 14 and use to go to the beach all the time and swim way out from shore. After that movie I wouldnโ€™t go deeper than my waist and still to this day wonโ€™t especially after seeing that Russian get eaten

I was 25 when the film came out. I haven't set foot in the ocean since then and, I too, used to swim out way beyond the breakers.

And casting Christopher Lee as a Nazi... He fought in the RAF in North Africa and Italy, as well as hunted down Nazi’s after the war. I’m sure he and Spielberg laughed at that inside joke.

40mm bofors, but people like Ned’s character built the weapons that won the war. Robert Stack had it right as the General.

He made a convincing Nazi because his life depended on convincing Nazis.
