JAWS 50th Anniversary

June 20, 1975 - June 20, 2025

I suppose people will argue forever about the significance of this movie. Some claim it destroyed cinema, by giving birth to the blockbuster. Others will claim it raised the stakes for movies, amping up the thrills they were expected to deliver. I’m kinda in the middle myself. I absolutely fucking love Jaws, yet I sometimes feel it put a damper on more nuanced films. Spielberg of course always will get his deserved credit for this classic, but we must never forget all the major contributions from the rest of the crew too. In a lot of ways I feel that Editor Verna Fields was the MVP here. She did in fact win an Oscar for her brilliant work on JAWS. John Williams score…too perfect.🦈💙

Paper Moon, Peter Bogdanovich (1973)

Still one of the greatest pieces of entertainment recorded on celluloid.  Well-honed drama, tension, and characters.  Not to mention stylistic direction and editing.  And then there’s that little music score.
