    Well, that isn’t the same movie. 

    looks much closer to the book.  The 80s movie was different than the book.

    This version is the Stephen King story. The Arnold version pretty much scrapped everything but the name Ben Richards and the Dawson character.

    beat me to it.

    There wasn’t enough time between them for tech to advance, and each one surely had a lower budget than the previous. 

    nah, 2, 3, and 4 had similar budgets to each other and double the budget of the original (20-25 mil vs 10).  Just bad/lazy filmmaking.

  3. Every shark got progressively worse in each sequel.  You would think they would get better as technology advances.  By Jaws 4, it looked like claymation.  

  4. That scene is nearly 3 minutes long and is one continuous take, no cuts.  It's a masterclass in blocking and camera work.  More breakdown here if interested:

  5. My favorite film of all time.  A true masterpiece.

    Some trivia you may or may not know.  The Alex Kitnner attack scene was originally intended to be much more graphic, but Speilberg did get any shots he loved or that felt right, so they only thing that made the final cut was the tail end of the filmed scene with the shark biting the raft.  Here are some stills from the deleted scene:

    The estuary scene was also much more graphic, with the guy in the boat being dragged through the water and pushing Michael Brody out of the path of the shark, but many people already know that from various documentaries over the years. There are clips of it online.

    Singleton posted a “hook ‘em” and SA has Altmeyer at 99% Texas 

    So this gives us:

    C - Atwood
    1B - Stewie (?) or freshman
    2B - Goode
    SS - Vivi
    3B - Stewie (?) or freshman
    OF - Maloney/Henry/Altmeyer
    DP - ?

    Still hope we are in it for Spearman 

    Yep, Need a 3B and DP (I have Stewie at 1B).  Maybe MW is banking on the freshman for these roles?

  7. It's gonna be hard for us to find a top-flight portal pitcher wiling to come in a back up Kavan.  It makes sense Pannell would choose tamu given that Kennedy has finally graduated at 35 years old.  I'd settle for a lefty curve thrower like Czech.

    Tech’s 3B is in the portal and allegedly interested in us 

    Lindemuth was the Red Raiders’ primary starting at third base as a freshman during their national runner-up season. She hit .305 with eight doubles, five home runs and 32 RBIs in 68 games. Lindemuth also pitched and became a very reliable defender by the end of the season.

    I remember her from the WCWS.  Good defender.  Short blonde girl.  We need a 3B, so this sounds ideal.  I guess Tech signing Pannell pushed her out.
