We're gonna need a bigger boat

Last night I went to see Jaws in the local Bloor Cinema. It's a cute, old 1 screen cinema with a balcony and a huge curtain that pulls up to reveal the screen, very theatrical! Its been a while since I've seen the first Jaws and I've never seen it in a cinema so I jumped at the chance to see it.

You forget how great Jaws is until you re watch it. It's really nicely shot, its got some great colours and everytime you watch it, you pick up something else. Highlights include the following:

Mayor Vaughn's anchor print suit jacket. Miu Miu's inspiration perhaps?

A hot young Richard Dreyfuss....purr

Quint's story of the USS Indianapolis and her sinking, resulting in huge numbers of her soldiers being attacked by sharks, something I didn't know was a true story!

Finding out where the phrase 'That's some bad hat Harry' comes from. Said phrase can be seen at the end of programmes like House which is made by Bad Hat Harry Productions!
