"You're gonna need a bigger boat"

2 notes and you have a villain. Go to www.jawsmovie.com/jsounds/jaws2.wav to hear it if you don't know what I'm talking about. The Jaws theme is probably one of the simplest, but most inspired creations in the history of music, let alone film music. It can instantly warn us of danger by implying the shark's presence even when we can't see it on screen.
I totally love the 1st Jaws movie by the way. It actually came out the summer I was born. We totally arrived in this world at about the same time (which might explain some things about me but that's a different story). It was totally ahead of its time. There are some really funny quotes in it as well as being a good action/horror movie. Stuff like:

Quint: "Here lies the body of Mary Lee ... died at the age of 103 ... for 15 years she kept her virginity ... not a bad record for this vicinity"

Hooper: "Uh ... I think that I'm familiar with the fact that you are going to ignore this problem until it swims up and bites you in the ass"

Quint again: "You go inside the cage, cage goes in the water, you go in the water, shark's in the water ... our shark"

and of course Brody said the line in the title of this blog. Anyway... I saw this pic on the I CAN HAS CHEEZEBURGER website and when I was done laughing until I peed a little, I thought I would share it. Enjoy!
