Damn shark week took over my bad ass survey. Bunch of A-holes. To be honest I’m surprised Charles Bronson is preforming as well as he is. Giving Harry Callahan a run for his money.

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. Not showing the shark til the end was one of the biggest pro’s for Jaws. Calm waters and a musical tune had butt sphincters tightening. Too much detail in bloody things is a turn off for me. The suspense is better imo as compared to seeing flesh shredded.

Local Gal here in Taylor County has one leg right now. Last year Scalloping she donated one to a Bull shark. I've fished Horseshoe beach since I was 7 or 8. Blows my mind watching summer scallopers. I saw a Tiger shark that was a solid 12ft. It's pec fins we're dragging the sand bottom and it's dorsal was 12in out of the water. It was 4 ft deep. Paul Newman should be on the list. The Hustler and Cool Hand Luke are still very watchable today. 2 of my faves

Kirk Douglas also lasted a long time ...
Douglas joined the United States Navy in 1941, shortly after the United States entered World War II, where he served as a communications officer in anti-submarine warfare aboard USS PC-1139.[29] He was medically discharged in 1944 for injuries sustained from the premature explosion of a depth charge.[30] He rose to the rank of Lieutenant (junior grade).[29]

Look at Audie Murphys face and tell me he was the guy that alone did the stuff he did. He did it because he was part of that generation that did what had to be done, and it was not about them, FB, tick tok or any other crap.
For that matter look at most of the guys who won the MOH is War 2. Average joes.

I didn’t know that about Lee Marvin. A good American and a genuine hero Some of those actors really proved their grit in that war. Jimmy Stewart comes to mind. Others were dodgers thats worth another post, all the actors that really went to war and fought. David Niven comes to mind
