    I feel like most people don’t get academy awards when they’re gruesomely devoured at the end of their performance. It has something to do with politics, favored people and a specific formula in a film involving a specific actor. The academy awards is a joke. Some the best movies I’ve seen are never nominated

    I took my girlfriend now my wife out to a Saturday night movie. We went to see the great Waldo Pepper with Robert Redford. But if you showed up at the 7 o’clock hour, you would be the test audience for a new movie. We went. we had no idea what this movie was about, no pictures, no one has seen it before. The movie started with the nighttime beach, bonfire, where the girl and the guy went off and the girl went into the water swimming. The man in front of us with his wife had to be in his 80s. He was probably there to see the great Waldo Pepper, which was a movie about old airplanes with radial engines, and 2 wings… early days of air flight that poor man could have had a heart attack the way he was reacting to the test movie. He was standing up halfway out of his seat at times. The whole audience was not moving from their seats to go to the refreshment stand or even to the bathroom. The movie was Jaws. That was in 1975 when my wife and I were dating. that evening the way we were ambushed by this movie, we were not prejudiced by anyone else’s opinion, no clue ..that was the most entertaining movie I have still ever seen in my life ever.. Nothing has topped it.

    Fantastic story. Thanks for sharing it. I saw it as a kid when it first came out (in Wimbledon) but here in England we got movies months after the US so we'd heard all about it and there was great anticipation. The most memorable movie experience of my life. Cheers.

    Thank you for sharing this! It’s wonderful, I watched this primarily due to my love for Jaws, and surprisingly the most fascinating thing in it is Shaw’s story about the uproar caused by his joke about preparing for the role of Churchill. How can people possibly be so stupid as to interpret his joke literally? It’s amazing. Thanks again.

    The guy that said it was largely inaccurate.....what are you talking about? There was never a distress signal sent at all. They had just delivered the atomic bomb to Tinnian Island and they were under an order of complete radio blackout. They were sunk before the bomb had even been dropped. The Navy had no idea that anything had happened until the ship didn't show up at Pearl Harbor when it was supposed to.
