REMEMBERING JAWS

I cannot believe it was 50 years ago tonight I saw the one of the few films that scared the living hell out of me, and still does to this day.

I was 12 1/2 years old when I saw this film. The audience reaction is something I will never forget, especially in several key scenes such as the severed head and the first time we actually see the shark.

It was an experience I will never forget, but this monster loving child at the time loved it. It scared me so bad I have never been in the Ocean, and I never will. Nope...no way.

The movie spawned 3 sequels and I did enjoy the second one...but the others were really lackluster. In later years I have seen many, many films that have ripped off Jaws and some of them have been really fun, but NOTHING will ever replace the original.

The cast is exceptional and everyone does a great job with their role. Jaws was rated PG, and I fear in today rainbow/cupcake world it would be rated R because this younger generation couldn't deal with it.

Good times a great memories...but damn it's been 50 years!!
