For as long as I can remember, I've just loved to look at the Great White. It elicits fear and fascination. It's also one of the most beautiful creatures ever created. It's sleek, and has hardly evolved in the millions of years since it came to be. Virtually perfect. But this ain't the discovery channel, I also like when Jaws goes chomp on little boys and shit. That crap is scary. I do see some people approaching Jaws as a drama though, because it's really about facing fear and redemption too. It's an amazing character study as well as a horrifying work of art.<BR/><BR/>And Jaws 2 is like a slasher film with a shark as Jason Vorhees...<BR/><BR/>Amanda By NightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-1139120120087700242006-02-05T01:15:00.000-05:002006-02-05T01:15:00.000-05:00Sorry, but Gene Shalit totally scares the shit out...Sorry, but Gene Shalit totally scares the shit out of me.John Barleycornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08138035686166958662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-1138975773636657712006-02-03T09:09:00.000-05:002006-02-03T09:09:00.000-05:00I saw 'Poltergeist' in the theater when I was six ...I saw 'Poltergeist' in the theater when I was six and I thought that I would go insane with fear.<BR/><BR/>I felt the same way about a 'Facts of Life' Halloween episode, around that same time.<BR/><BR/>That's why horror is so much better across the board when you're under 10.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-1138906664606348872006-02-02T13:57:00.000-05:002006-02-02T13:57:00.000-05:00"Hey yo!

Get out of my blog!<BR/><BR/>"It's dull, dated, overlong, meandering, and poorly paced."<BR/><BR/>Well, so am I, but who cares? Nyuk, nyuk. But really, there are plenty of people who think The Exorcist isn't scary. I disagree, but whatevs. Yay, opinions!<BR/><BR/>And yeah, I know about The Herald (I lived outside Boston for a while)...I think the same criticisms can be launched at virtually any smaller, local newspaper. I loathe the local rag, The Columbus Dispatch, for all the same reasons you cited for the Herald.Stacie Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784074536271206501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-1138904763071791922006-02-02T13:26:00.000-05:002006-02-02T13:26:00.000-05:00I'd have to disagree on two points.1) Jaws is scar...I'd have to disagree on two points.<BR/><BR/>1) <I>Jaws</I> is scarier and better than <I>The Exorcist</I>.<BR/><BR/>2) <I>The Exorcist</I> isn't scary. It isn't interesting. It's dull, dated, overlong, meandering, and poorly paced.<BR/><BR/>And one more point: Being from Boston, and being familiar with <I>The Boston Herald</I>, you'd best take anything they write with a truckload of salt and sixteen gallons of margaritas. It's a staunch, tabloidic, Republican newspaper more interested in calling Democrats idiot pigs than reporting real news. <I>The Herald</I> is a townie joke.
