Jaws has a hold on me like no other film. I'll be watching it and investigating its sensous mythology for years. Check this out (in a minute)...
Question is....Why didn't they leave some of these shots in? Yes, the shark doesn't look great, and, yes, the great fear of Jaws lurks from the unknown and from what lies beneath, but... that aspect is best explored during the first scene and, later, at Ben Gardner's boat. Would adding these have ruined that? It's up for debate, but why the hell, at the very least, isn't some of this awesome stuff on the deleted scenes of the DVD. Or, can we expect yet another 'xyears' anniversary edition to further exploit us Jaws lovers? Yes. But, of course, I, and many others, will certainly buy it. Shame on you Spielberg, Zanuck, Brown et al. But, you are all, equally, true legends. Shit, check me out, I'm more conflicted that Anankin!
Enjoy...

Sorry, have tried adding this as a direct link, but it won't work. Will have to copy and paste, but it's worth it...
