The Indianapolis monologue, Norman Bates’ conversation with Marion Crane in the study in Psycho, and chigurh’s “call it” coin flip scene in NCFOM are probably my top 3 favorite movie moments ever. 

A guy that works at the Regal down the street from me saw Jaws for the first time on Thursday. I was able to give him a brief story about the USS Indianapolis because that monologue really stood out to him. He had never known or learned in any history class about the sinking and the shark attacks that would soon follow. 
 

Thanks Jaws for letting me educate someone a bit with a little more knowledge of history.

Change of plans had us going tonight as Real D 3D only having PM showings. Pretty cool watching it in 3D without it being filmed that way, still the greatest movie ever.

Saw it tonight in 4DX Real D 3D. That was one of the best movie experiences I have ever had. Watching that movie in any other format again will be a letdown from seeing it like that. Feeling the pounding that Hooper was taking in the cage and the boat being rammed was pretty awesome. Technology can be really cool at times and this was one of those instances. The 3D aspect just gave it a feel of being right there with them at times as well.

Do you have to wear glasses for the 3D experience?  I remember hating the glasses for Jaws 3D, but that was like 40 years ago.

Haven’t been to one in a while but I’ll still answer yes. But more like sunglasses, not the paper red/blue lens ones from 40 years ago.

Yes. But they’re more like cheap sunglasses than the paper ones back then. There’s a Jaws combo at the concessions with tin pail for popcorn and a yellow barrel for drink but they were sold out. No idea on the cost.

this surprises me.  I saw that it was being shown in 3D and rolled my eyes.  I may give it a shot.

The 3D part adds a good bit. Getting tossed around in my seat with the wind blowing and water splashing on me while the fight with the shark was going on was fun.

Well-played. History is the biggest portion of what life entails for me though. I see this guy regularly there. Very nice and whatnot every time I see him. He knew nothing about the USS Indianapolis and was a bit surprised when I said that it really was torpedoed and sunk near the end of the war. I will gladly take the time to illuminate history to someone, especially when it comes to WWII and what happened in the Pacific War.

A small tidbit about Roy Scheider for any of you that visit NYC. I worked at a place called Brooklyn Diner. It was a really cool place overall right across the street from Carnegie Hall on 57th. Anyhow one day I am looking at all the name plates they had by the tables for celebrities and I see Roy Scheider’s name on there. He would regularly eat there while he was undergoing treatment for cancer. Pretty good guy from what I was told.
