Now it may finally be safe to go back into the water. Rest in peace.

I am fluent in over six million forms of procrastination.

Wow, so young to die, too. RIP, Peter Benchley.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Just found out this year that jaws was based on a book.

THE BOOK IS FAR BETTER THAN THE MOVIE.

Personally, I didn't think the film adaptation was that great. I agree with Warbler. I'll have to read the book sometime. I'm sure its WAY better than the film.

It's like those sad little kids who thought the LOTR novels were adaptations of the films.

Honestly, I'd have to say that this was one of the two times where I think the movie was superior to the book (the other was "Secret Window", but that's another topic). I dunno, the ending just seemed kinda anti-climactic.

But nothing against Peter Benchley. He's still awesome.

He actually has a cameo as a news anchor on a beach in the movie of Jaws, by the way. Thought you guys would be interested to know that.

By the way, Adam, you say "I didn't think the film adaptation was that great" like you've read the book already. What the hell?

I referred to it as that because that's what it is. No, I've never read the book, I was just calling the film by that name. It's the same as if I said: "I didn't think the film was that great."

Very sad. Goodbye, Peter Benchley. Rest In Peace, old friend.

I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Red heads ROCK. Blondes do not rock. Nuff said.
