Jaws is coming out on Tuesday, 2/24!

Just speak the word "jaws" to anyone and their pulse quickens, the hair on the back of their neck stands up as a dim memory rises to the surface of their consciousness - a memory of the first time they saw Murray Hamilton. Most likely it was in an episode of B.J. and the Bear, or perhaps The F.B.I with Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., but if not that, then his turn as the sartorially resplendent, gravelly voiced mayor of Amity in Jaws, the movie that made a generation of people afraid to go into the water (they were justifiably terrified of getting a skin disease from coming in contact with Quint's run-off.) Yes, long before blockbusters like Spider-Man 2, Shrek the Third, or Garden State there was Jaws, the story of small town mayor Larry Vaughn (played by the magnificent Murray Hamilton) and his quest to find the perfect jacket to wear while resisting the whining of Richard Dreyfuss. There is also a shark.

Mike, Bill and Kevin cruise the movie like a large squalus grabbing it with their powerful - oh, what's the word for it... mandibles - then, a little shakin', a little tenderizin', and down it goes.

We don't believe there are any different cuts of this movie, just different DVD releases.

According to Amazon (who could well be wrong) there's a minute difference between the 30th anniversary release and the Widescreen Anniversary Collector's Edition.

(Just in case...)

I don't think that there's actually a difference in the cut of the movie.

Cool, most likely they are just rounded off and they are the same.

I love Jaws and watched it just a couple of months ago.

I dont know if this is a sign of my sickness, but while watching it, I was noticing how riffable it really way.

This will ROCK
