And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

"Bruce" was the only reason Universal made the movie in the first place.
It being such a mechanical clusterf**k forced Spielberg to make a better movie, focusing on character and plot development instead of cheesey SFX, is what accidentally made/fortuitously revealed him as a superstar director, and the movie (that would have been the exact monster-schlock crapola the sequels turned into) into the original summer blockbuster.
Lucas comes along with American Graffiti two years before Jaws and Star Wars two years after, and you have the guys who literally saved movies, and reinvented Hollywood.

DeleteThe whole thing was a clusterfuck, mechanically. All air operated.
ReplyDeleteI understand that maintenance was a cast iron bitch.
The good thing is that Jaws lead us to Sharknado.
