Jaws Begins
Recently I watched Open Water, which is an excellent date movie about a couple working through their problems while being menaced by sharks. I've since read reviews that said it was pointless and silly, but everyone in my small theatre was riveted.My doomed neighbor Ian wondered if it had been pitched as Home Alone meets Jaws.
Speaking of Jaws, and when don't I, a quick shot of the identification cards of the Open Water couple reveals that her name is Susan Watkins and his name is David Kintner. (Chrissie) Watkins and (Alex) Kintner were the first two victims in Jaws.
This makes Open Water an excellent prequel to Jaws. Jaws, having acquired a taste for people named Watkins and Kintner, travels to Amity Island where he gets a second helping.
I picked up the DVD for $4.99 from Blockbuster, despite my moral reservations about that company's past support of Operation Rescue. $4.99 can't possibly buy a bag of blood to throw at an abortion doctor, can it? Can it??? Not human blood, anyway.
All the literature points to the inadvisability of having an abortion in shark-infested water, but I found it unsurprising that when that couple was in real jeopardy, no Operation Rescue boats showed up to save them.
