People who need to see the shark in Jaws are the people who hated to Blair.

and the scariest scene in Jaws is the very first one where you don't even know what it is.

I've had this debate for years. I don't think you're wrong for needing to see the shark...I just don't need to.

  - Jaws is a perfect film. It sets it up, has follow through, and resolution. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:47 3
    - and the right balance of suspense vs. things happening. Has everyone seen Duel? -- nm - zork Jul 10, 13:48 1
      - Duel is great -- nm - con_carne Jul 10, 13:49
    - All becuase Spielberg had to salvage a fubar. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 10, 13:47

- It goes to what scares people. - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:39 3
  - I would agree with this for the most part except that I didn't find anything in BW scary. I wouldn't even - Diva Jul 10, 13:48

    - I had the same thing happen when I was talking about The Ruins and I mentioned...Duel. - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:46
Hardly. The shark was actually doing something. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:26 12
- you lack imagination. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:27 11
  - I guess so if that includes pretending that The Blair Witch was scary. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:29 10
    - hey it's Ok if you need sto be scared by something with teeth and such. - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:31 9
      - /me holds up a stick figure to scare you -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:34 8
        
        now think about you sleeping and something that doesn't like you putting it on your pillow. - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:36 6
        
        The stick figure is angry about being put on my pillow? -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:37 2
        
        you're proving my point that you have no imagination. - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:40 1
        
        I get what you are saying, it is just if it is something I can kill, I will not allow myself to be frightened. - Spawn Jul 10, 13:46
        
        as you're both here, heading away again tomorrow, just a couple days. All mining off and just gold production. -- nm - Beaker Jul 10, 13:36 2
        
        vacation mode maybe? -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:43
        
        Is this in the Blair Witch sequel that I never saw? - Spawn Jul 10, 13:38
        
        "My god - it's full of stars!" -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 13:34
oh I agree that the best parts of Jaws were when you didn't see it -- nm - zork Jul 10, 13:26 2
- Perhaps I'm reading too much snark into this, but when you say "it", do you mean the entire film? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 13:27 1
  - i'm saying that Spielberg did suspense well (see also Duel) and BW was crap -- nm - zork Jul 10, 13:31
