"Deep Blue Sea."

Saw it on telly last night, hadn't seen it before. Tried to be Jaws, but didn't manage it.

It was ok, nothing special. Special effects are bloody awful, I think FM could do better with a copy of paint. It blatantly left itself open for a sequel, suprised they haven't released one yet, to be honest.

It was ok for a couple of hours of entertainment, nothing too special. Jaws was scary, this wasn't. This had a couple of jumpy moments in, and that was it.
It wasn't completely cliched, as the woman died and the "hard bloke" made it.

The effects where Samuel J was getting munched were rubbish, they may as well have had homer simpson in his place.

This film, because they couldn't afford him anymore.

What serious film would kill one of the main characters half way through the film, during a rousing speach?
You all take things too seriously.

If you harpooned them with the wood then yes. You could also claim that you skewered them with your Skoda/Ikea combo, but that would be pedantic.

Might have been.

But imagine swimming with Great Whites without a cage! I tohught it was hilarious when his "peers" were saying in one sentence that Great Whites don't usually attack humans, and then in the next saying "You wouldn't catch me in the water with them".

Total hypocrites.

Ah, I wanna scuba with sharks. If only reef sharks or something.

Another thing of note was the documentary where they tested the first ever anti-shark chain mail. They tested it on reef sharks and it worked great, so they (i think it was Ron and Val or some sharkesque couple like that) wanted to test it on great whites. They wanted to do it personally, but their insurers talked them out of it for safety reasons.

Just as well too. The great white shredded the chain mail like it was punching it's way out of a paper bag.

Was that the same documentary that had that dude who has lost both his legs (he was a surfer) and was still saying, 'It was cool' etc.. also, he gouged out the sharks eye to get away and then managed to swim back to shore?

Talk about holding your head up high!

The most amazing thing for me, is how shark attack victims often claim to have felt no pain during attacks, despite fingers, hands and even entire limbs being lost.

Ever see that documentary with the scientist who swam in open water with great white sharks?

Damn right. Human kind was better off before we had developed language and communication.

Sharks rule because they are savage, each for their own.

My point is, if a human being had the same perceptory capabilities that a shark has, we'd be far more deadly.

Clever enough to sense blood within a 4 mile radius, Also, meat was attached to that surfboard (if you are talking about the same famous clip I am).
