stimmung79 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 So (don't ask) I find myself watching Jaws as we speak. I think I saw oart of it a long, long time ago but it's essentially like a new movie for me. Now everyone calls this movie a classic...but am I the only one who sees this film as proof that a movie can absolutely suck and still be considered a "classic"?? Terrible acting, terrible editing, terrible plot...don't get me started. And yeah i know it was made in 1975, but it this really something we want to be considered one of the best theatrical productions of our species? not to mention that mechanical shark...with the rubber teeth! 🦈 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gord Barentsen Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 LOL! You know, Jaws is one of those movies I put on when I want background noise while I work. For precisely those reasons. 1 1 Quote When a book and a head collide and a hollow sound is heard, must it always have come from the book? -- Lichtenberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimmung79 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Background noise huh? do you mean the bad music or the terrible sea chantys or...well, it's too earlyhere in TO to get into specifics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotWithoutMyOntic Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 but that's its appeal isn't it? watching the cheesiness of it unfold? i always see it as a relic of a bygone time when you could still get away with traditional sexual roles and off-colour male-bonding remarks. no way a film like that could be made now in the Age of Offense (not that I'm saying it should) 1 Quote We need to teach children how to think rather than what to think. – Margaret Mead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
