ah!

I’ve seen this movie countless times over the years and it still scares the crap outta me when that shark jumps up!

“We’re gonna need a bigger boat…”

Awesome! This is so well timed…there have been numerous great white shark sightings off of Cape Cod this summer (only in areas where there are tons of seals, don’t be afraid to swim everyone!!!!!)

Massachusetts is magic.

this is one of momma branch’s favorite movies! how can i turn this round-up into a mini-poster/ card for her????? she took my sisters to see this in theaters when they were little! if you ever do the original Halloween movie or Rear Window, you will really make her day! ahem, hint hint.

Yikes! An old friend of mine was attacked by a great white off the coast of CA. I just can’t do Jaws. You are brave! I do love the bits and items you’ve collaged, though.

Spot on! I always look forward to “living in.”

Too funny! Great post – I particularly like the second board. Thanks!

AHHHHH! I love this post!!! There are few things I love more than a good shark attach. In movies only!

I love the vintage cool look of this… what a great round up of items!

That tote is amazing. I love it. I also love the NE – what a beautiful part of the world!

This is so fun! You do a wonderful job! I love your selections and this is such a great New England summer choice :)

Halloween? Jaws? Groundhog Day? Ginny- for a sweet southern lady with a penchant for antique tea cups, your mom surprises me at every turn!

I love how the Living In posts are often unpredictable. Still my favourite regular feature on Design*Sponge. Hooray for Tuesdays! p.s. Have you ever considered doing The Birdcage??

The fear of what photos were going to be used almost made me terrified to read this post. Thanks for keeping it clean for those of us with shark issues!

The bathing suit, tote, and lovely nautical-ness made it worthwhile.

So awesome!!!!!

Did you just advocate buying a real shark jaw for style? Buying pieces from the bodies of a population that is in danger is not fashionable. More info here: http://www.projectaware.org/assets/library/188_188ujsharkscwardpaige3q08.pdf

Please consider removing that unsustainable item from your buying recommendations.

“That’s some bad hat, Harry.”

Perfect. I second what Amanda said.

My Mom took me to see Jaws at the drive-in theater in her new Trans-Am when the movie first came out. I was six. She didn’t want to, but I insisted.

I was so small I couldn’t see over the dashboard, so she pulled a gallon paint can out of the trunk and made sit on that so I could see.

I fell asleep exactly 20 minutes into the movie, and I’ve never seen the whole thing from start to finish.

Oh my gosh, I always had such a crush on Roy Scheider! I can’t explain it, even though he was 40+ years older than me. *sigh*

Love “Living In…” Your post on “Two for the Road” was one of my favorites.

A couple of suggestions: “The Big Chill” (that house! those porch rockers! the Temptations albums!) and “All the President’s Men” (the typewriters! the metal desks!) I still have my “Nixon Resigns” issue of the Post.

Thanks, Amy!

hahahahaha! GREAT POST!!!!

I love surfing, but sharks are a definite fear of mine–I always keep an eye peeled.

Thanks for the reminder!

HAHA! I love this series so much. The shark just isn’t as scary when the frame is frozen like that, for some strange reason ;)

Great Post!

Love this! Still my favorite movie. Mrs. Brody’s suit was so glam amidst all the other beachcombers. I too had a crush on Roy Scheider. Great pick.

This was an awesome Living In, thanks Amy! I just loooove everything you picked out for this post, apparently nautical prep, horror and 70s campy goodness is really my thing :-)

I was an oral history summer intern on Martha’s Vineyard, where Jaws was shot. I had never noticed that the Harbor Master in the movie is called Frank Silva until I saw your picture. Frank Silva was an actual Vineyard resident, and the Silva family goes back a long time on the island. You can see pictures here: http://history.vineyard.net/photos/swartz/index.html Cool!

Love this! I saw Jaws at the Wellfleet, MA (Wellfleet is on Cape Cod) drive in in 1975. Been scared every since. Fun!

Ditto the crush on Roy Scheider! We happened to watch this last week, as well, and I kept thinking how chic those striped cabanas looked.

Funny – I was just reading this article on Jaws!

Sorry, I can’t get on board with this one. Though I would like the tote if the handles were longer.

I want that picture of the woman skinny dipping at night! Where did you find it?
How do I obtain a copy?

Wow your “Living In” movie choices are getting wilder! But I totally love this unexpected one. :)
Have you ever done “Across the Universe” already? (In case I missed it?) Thanks!

You can get a copy of the ‘no swimming’ sign as a poster from a UK company called Last Exit to Nowhere, who specialise in making posters and t-shirts related to classic cult films. Check out the Jaws related items here, http://www.lastexittonowhere.com/shop/product/no-swimming-a2-screenprint/

Just a tidbit of history. Jaws was loosely based on actual shark attacks on the Jersey Shore in 1916. I actually lived in one of the towns that the sharks attacked. Still to this day the residents tell new comers that there is a connection to Jaws and the town.

I’m far too old for toys, but this sweet, cuddly shark makes me want to be a child again! So sweet.

must.have.hertiage tote.

I always love your ‘living in:’ posts but this one has had me giggling all day! I love JAWS.

Great post, I needed that!

I love this. Best feature ever. Now I want to go straight home and watch Jaws. I mean… I already wanted to go home, but this is totally different from that.

I have the Sperry Topsiders and I love them! I love the mussell locket and the round sunglasses, although sometimes I feel I look rather foolish in round sunglasses…what face shape are they good for?

Awesome article, love it, thank you

I love this! They had the making of Jaws on TV this weekend and I watched it beginning to end. Fab

Needs some toys, “Your cars!” and what flavor ice cream? “Coffee!”

This brings back some serious memories for me. I grew up on Martha’s Vineyard where they filmed this, which only caused some mild swimming anxiety, but never actually kept me out of tehe water. My mom used to tell me about how badly her friend wanted to meet Roy Scheider, but was too scared, so my mom introduced herself instead. So cute. And reading Katie’s post about the Silva family was super cool, because some of my family members are island Silvas! Yay! Thanks for the this post! It was a fun trip down memory lane.

One thing absent from D*S is humor, but I just realized this now. Hell yes! to this post. I’m a marine biologist and originally from the Cape – but damn am I still scared of that fish.

And a side note to the woman upset about the shark jaw – I appreciate your comments, as well. We should also mention the insane amount of precious, endangered coral in D*S photos.. I’ve seen some illegal corals in photos.

That first shot just made me poop my pants.

:) i’m just working on an illustration with nautical flags. Great timing!

Nice and great compilation,
thanks for sharing it.

unfortunately just last year a two year old boy from my daughter’s pre school was crushed by a soda machine in this city – just reading this brings tears to my eyes

she took my sisters to see this in theaters when they were little! if you ever do the original Halloween movie or Rear Window, you will really make her day!
