Thinking about the movie “Jaws.” This summer is the 50th anniversary of the movie! WOW, 50 years ago, Steven Spielberg scared the crap out of us. The movie fueled a fear of sharks that still remains today, even though the odds of being attacked by a shark are like 1 in 4 million. Jaws is also considered the first “summer blockbuster” movie. Here are a couple of Jaws-related photos. First, in 2019, we met Jeffrey Voorhees, the second shark victim. He signed Aaron’s DVD copy of the movie. “To Aaron, from the dead Alex Kintner.” Next, after living in Massachusetts my entire life, I finally got to Martha’s Vineyard in 2021. A lovely island, at least in the summertime. Rich, Nephew Nick, and I went for a long weekend to run the classic Martha’s Vineyard Marathon and Half Marathon (we did the half). While on the island, we checked out many of the movie sights where Jaws was filmed. Here is a photo of the three of us at “Jaws Bridge.” Lastly, an un-Jaws-related 1/2 marathon finish photo.
