JAWS Rip-Off Trailer Tuesday: Mako The Jaws of Death (1976)

Today's film is almost too amazing to be considered "bad"...but it's pretty bad. Where last week we dealt with Universal taking a film to court for being too similar story wise this film ups the gamble by actually having the word "Jaws" in the title. Today we read the mind of Mako: The Jaws of Death (1976).

The Art of Amity: "You're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat" by Francesco Francavilla

Missed a week but not an issue. Let's get right into it today with our newest resident in the Amity Island art gallery with the talented Francesco Francavilla.

JAWS Rip-Off Trailer Tuesday: Great White aka The Last Shark (1981)

Today's feast for the eyes is not the first in the rip-off parade (or even the best) but the one that Universal felt so threatended by that they sued. Today we watch GREAT WHITE aka THE LAST SHARK (1981). 

The Art of Amity: "Quint's Revenge!" by Paul Jackson

For the first installment of The Art of Amity I wanted to feature one of my favorite pieces of JAWS art in a very long time from artist Paul Jackson.

How else could you explain Quint's Revenge!?

Don't get me wrong, I usually love a Summer. Beach days, outdoor barbecues, and trips to theme parks are all noble ambitions that I love and respect. The thing is, when living in the Sunshine State, you tend to hate the Summer because of this very reason. EVERYONE comes to Florida for the Summer. Not to get into a "Local Only" diatribe but when your leisure day at Universal becomes like the fall of Saigon with Brazilian tourist groups in 90 degree heat you begin to become sour on Summer. Become the tourist destination of the world largely makes the state inhospitable for those who live here the three months of the year.

I also had a major health scare this Summer. I'm sure it's been noticed (or not noticed at all *weep*) that I have largely been absent in my updating. Besides working full-time at a non-creative job I began having heart issues late in the Summer month. This largely put out my fire to work on the blog on any regular basis. I became a passive participant in pop culture, taking it all in without giving anything back. But I had hope. I had a plan. I had...
