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.

Drefus said after torturous delays etc "Jaws will be a bust!" I watched it in a coll town Ann Arbor, Mich and the lines were around the block and you cld hear the screams OUTSIDE in line w all the doors closed! The look in the eyes of the movie goers as they busted out of the doors was stunning of OMG what did I just see! The shark music when it came on its silent run will haunt me forever as will the opening scene!

Hollywood desperately needs a few (hundred) characters like Robert Shaw. The movie industry is completely without ANYone like him… and it is riding that deficit right down the drain.

Jaws wasn't jaws without Robert Shaw as quint 😢😮. The glue of the movie. True legend and brilliant actor. So many great lines, " ten thousand dollars for me by myself , for that you get the head the tail the whole dam thing " that's a 20 footer , 25ft, three tons of him " epic lines

Yes, it's called reading a script. Toothpaste isn't toothpaste without mint in it, either.

When filming jaws Dreyfus was relatively young in his late 20s, Allegedly they did not get along with each other perhaps Robert didn’t think he showed him enough respect and another sad thing was three years later he died of a heart attack in his beloved Ireland..

The Motion Picture Academy will always bear the black eye of not even nominating one cinema's most Legendary performances.
