BACK TO "MOVIE MADNESS"
INTRO � 6 seconds
Presenter:
Are you afraid of the water? Well if so, you might want to look away from your TV screen now.
RUN VT � 30 second clip from Jaws (young boy�s death and the Brodie shot)
Presenter:
Now didn�t that look scary? Well, tonight I am joined by Jerry (Geri) Jones, self-proclaimed mega-fan of Steven Spielberg�s 1975 super shark shocker, �Jaws�.
TURNS TO JERRY
Jerry, welcome to the studio.
Jerry:
Thanks, it�s great to be here!
Presenter:
So Jerry, why the fascination with this particular movie? Why not Citizen Kane or Gone With The Wind or even that box office smash hit Howard The Duck?
Jerry:
Well for me, Jaws is the ultimate blockbuster, pop corn hurling experience. It�s got beautiful people, beautiful beaches and a big killer shark. What more could you ask for?
Presenter:
Well indeed. But what was your first experience with Jaws?
Jerry:
I remember it like it was yesterday, I was in the video store perusing the shelves when I suddenly became entranced by noises I heard coming from the TV above my head. You see, the video store plays movies for the customers on a little TV screwed into the ceiling. Anyway, I ended up standing there for I don�t know how long, utterly engrossed by the PG rated violence. And then the owner of the store came up behind me and slapped me across the back of the head and said �Rent it or get out�. So with those pearls of wisdom, I decided to rent it out.
Presenter:
And the rest we shall say is history?
Jerry:
Yes you could say that.
Presenter:
So what do you think makes this movie such a blockbuster success?
Jerry:
Well, I think it all comes down to the shark.
Presenter:
Would you care to elaborate on that?
Jerry:
Yes I would. The shark is big, the shark is mean and the shark is scary. People like seeing big, mean and scary things on screen � it�s a matter of fact.
Presenter:
Is that it?
Jerry:
Yes, simple as. Look at how successful the horror genre is! Hockey-masked maniacs running around slaughtering big breasted bimbo�s in the middle of the night. But in Jaws, replace the masked maniac with an unstoppable shark, and you�ve got box office gold right there!
Presenter:
Okay. Well, I think that�s all we�ve got time for Jerry, thanks for coming on the show and discussing Jaws with us.
Jerry:
It�s quite alright, thanks for having me.
Presenter:
Well if you want to see this classic scary movie for yourself, it will be airing right after this show at 10pm.
