Hey Ken!
You might be interested in this. And all Jaws fans out there too.
Some major league Jaws fans got together and decided they were going to make the definative documentary on Jaws!
Judgeing on some of the material here. They really did go all out. They even found the guy who did the voice over in the original trailer.
And the thing that makes me jealous is that they actually got to sit down with Roy Schieder and have a few beers with him (root beers. but beers none the less).
It's not out yet. But if they get distribution(theatrical or otherwise), I'm going out to see it.

I do hope Spielberg opens up more this time around.
When he talks about Jaws, he always talks about how hard it was. But he almost never talks about what he contributed to the film. He talks about the yellow shorts scene on the beach. But that's about it.
What did he think of the characters? Was Orca his idea or did he have to choose between boats like he chose between truck for Duel? Did you intensionaly plant that picture in the book for Brody when we saw the air tanks in the dead sharks mouth?
