And then, a while back, I was hanging around at my sister's house for some reason, with her husband and my mother there. The TV was on with the sound off. I turned it on Jaws: The Revenge, widely regarded as a terrible movie. I was mildly amused by it.
But Jaws itself was coming on next.
My sister enthused that we should all watch Jaws, but I wasn't keen on the idea. I don't know how many times I'd seen that thing. It's been thirty years, but I don't want to watch it again.
She suggested that there was something wrong with my taste in film. I didn't respond. But I really didn't want to watch the horrible, bloody death of a child. Or the horrible, bloody deaths of adults.
Jaws 4 was a perfectly pleasant film. Why would I want to watch a gore movie?
Weird that she liked the movie so much but had no thought at all about the content.
Spielberg is a monster.
