Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)

Post from President Trump on Truth Social: Six people were killed, and 24 people were shot, in Chicago last weekend, and JB Pritzker, the weak and pathetic Governor of Illinois, just said that he doesn’t need help in preventing crime. He is CRAZY!!! He better straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming! MAGA. President DJT

Like everybody, I've seen it on tv several times, but watching it on the big screen as a (late) middle age dad, several scenes hit differently than when I was little. The pain of guilt on Martin's face after Mrs. Kinter confronts him, and the look of sympathy as Matt Hooper looks on.

Still thinking about how much I enjoyed this. Had a big goofy grin on my face the whole time, laughed too loud at every one of Quint's barbs at Brody and Hooper. Felt very nostalgic and got a little verklempt thinking about seeing it in the theatre with my family as a kid.

Saw Jaws on the big screen for the first time in 50 years and then met Robert Shaw’s nephew so it was pretty much the perfect summer evening.

Pretty shameful that Bloomberg TV gave airtime to Trump’s cocaine-addled failson to pimp his MAGA VC grift. Really like Romaine Bostick and felt bad that he got stuck with this assignment. Hordern on the other hand always comes off like she's auditioning for Fox Business.

Absolutely disgusted to see Cocaine Jr promoting his VC grift on Bloomberg.
