I sat next to Chuck Heston's son when they did the Ten Commandments and stuff like that.
There's always somebody.
And sometimes the guy starred in the film, and sometimes the guy just worked as the first AD on the film.
But this was Jaws, and he did the whole Jaws thing, and everyone watched Jaws, and then Phil sort of spoke about it a little.
And at a certain point, he turned to a 62-year-old woman, and he was like...
Phyllis, now you did editing and sound mixing on Jaws.
Now, what was that experience like?
And she paused and she sheepishly said, Phil, that was Jaws 2.
It never happened.
There was Jaws 3D where the shark followed them down.
They flew to Jamaica to get away from the island, and the shark followed them down there.
Yeah, I know.
He, like, took another plane.
He took a later flight.
It was horrible.
That was not quite up there with Blues Brothers 2000.
But Jaws 2.
And at a certain point, not for you.
Yeah.
But just for everyone else in the room, say, it was a wonderful experience.
