Robert Shaw deserves an honorable mention here. His role in Jaws was truly bad ass. He’s another one that didn’t seem like he was acting in that role. He must have been a shark fisherman on the side, and was really on the Indianapolis as well. Jaws is sacrosanct. Its one of the few Hollywood hasn’t tried to touch with a remake.

Ya, the remake thing has really bothered me lately. Road House with Swazye was perfect. Why add a mustache to the Mona Lisa.

Jaws is one of the few I would be really curious to see for the reason it would be such a challenge to make as good as the original, yet fresh enough to be worth seeing. I’d like to see a hyper realistic portrayal of the shark and the attacks where the camera holds nothing back. Like the grizzly mauling in The Revenant. The original worked by rarely showing the shark, so the remake’s challenge would be to do the inverse and constantly show the shark and make it chilling to watch every time its on screen. Dennis Villeneuve would be the one who could probably direct it and pull it off. See his work on the Dune remake and the sequel to Blade Runner. Besides the politics of stepping on Spielberg’s toes, I don’t think they’d go with making the shark the villain and therefore a remake could never work. The audience would really need to fear and hate the shark and the outcry by environmentalists would be overwhelming.

Robert Mitchum was another badass.

It's been 50 years and environmentalists still complain about the impact Jaws has on public perception of sharks. And they are now wrong.

I just read an USA Today article on the 2 shark attacks on the panhandle beaches. It just reaffirmed how I feel about sharks.

Sean Connery Before he got into acting, one job he had was a doorman and he beat up six members of a notorious gang. www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/history/sean-connery-beat-up-six-25082352Micheal Caine also tells a story of holding Connery's coat while he beat the crap out of four guys who were bothering them You don't mess with Bond on screen or off screen. As far as martial artist actors, Michael Jai White has some serious skills. He never made it big in action screens, but he can fight.

The audience would really need to fear and hate the shark and the outcry by environmentalists would be overwhelming. I read somewhere about the shark. The plan was to show the shark more but it kept malfunctioning. Spielberg had to plan B it , so there were way less shots of the shark than he originally planned. I think it turned out for the better. Fear of the unknown vibe. If you watch some of the sequels you see way more of the shark. And most of the sequels were garbage. The second one was pretty good with the teenagers and the helicopter.

It's been 50 years and environmentalists still complain about the impact Jaws has on public perception of sharks. And they are now wrong. They can get over themselves. They’ve so propagandized the animal documentary genera that the public now thinks all dangerous animals have undeserved reputations and no animals seeks to harm humans unless its justified self-defense. There needs to be some harsh reality dumped back on them. An unflinching portrayal of what a fatal shark attack actually looks like would go a long way towards restoring some balance. I would say make the shark a different, more savage, species such as a bull or tiger shark. But I think a great white is scary as much as where its found than it is for its size. The cold, dark, deep waters temperate beaches are a scary enviroment.

I don’t care what kind of propaganda the animal rights crowd pushes
Shark attacks seem to becoming more frequent
I won’t allow anyone to swim off of our dock
The bull sharks are getting too thick
I worry about the scallopers. A family member was scalloping and a pair of huge bulls started swimming around him
There used to be a guy that netted sharks in the bay 30 years ago. I believe he kept the population at a sustainable level He used to get about 10 every night

Species evolve, humans have become walrus like. Well worth the energy for a shark.

You been out fishing lately?
Some days you just can’t get a fish in without it being bitten by a shark
They are getting thicker
By a whole lot

Boats equal easy food with little energy spent. There are more people in the waters now which increases the probability of shark bites.

Local Gal here in Taylor County has one leg right now. Last year Scalloping she donated one to a Bull shark.

Have you seen the scallop grounds on a weekend. Thousands of opportunities for an easy meal. Bull sharks eat people because there are more people. If there were more slow swimming seals they would eat the slow swimming seals. Its evolution.
