Aren't most films built on imagination? Though Ellen Brody wasn't there in some actual scenes but imagination can come into play from anyone describing what possibly happened can't it?<br />Come on! what about Star Wars and Star Trek and all those mythical aliens EH!

But you, dear, are proving that his readers are as dumb as he is. This site is just so funny, yet so sad at the same time. I'm drawn to it, somehow.

In fact, of the flashbacks she has in REVENGE, that's one of the only ones that she should actually have a memory of (she also remembers Sean being attacked on the police launch from Act I -- THAT she didn't see).<br /><br />And to answer your question: it felt VERY cheap on the big screen. I managed to see it when it was originally released and it really did feel like something made for TV even then.<br /><br />Regarding the endings: whenever AMC runs REVENGE, they have one of those longer, TV edits, where excised stuff was put back in to pad the running time. They actually have a quiet character scene between Van Peebles and Guest where they're talking about things THAT HAVEN'T HAPPENED YET -- whoever put it together didn't realize he was sticking it in the wrong place and no one noticed or corrected it.<br /><br />That version also has a slightly protracted version of the impalement ending. They use more shots and repeat certain images so that it's a little more drawn out and clearer. In both the theatrical and video versions (the U.S. and European cuts, respectively) it's kind of hard to tell WHAT has happened at all. Especially in the European/home video version where the shark just seems to spontaneously combust when she hits it with the boat.<br /><br />I still think JAWS 3D is more entertaining. I'll take laughable and unintentionally funny over dull any day.<br /><br />--JaredThe Inspectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09594240478578332525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-15099844095321632062010-08-21T11:18:30.473-07:002010-08-21T11:18:30.473-07:00I have to say this, because it has always bothered...I have to say this, because it has always bothered me ... but the death of the son in the beginning just gets to me.

Like what you say about the size of the shark change when ever he wants, made me giggle. The whole wrath of the shark thing did make it very dull and unbelievable. Maybe the sequels should have not focused on the brodys after no.2.
