A to Z Challenge 2015: J - Jaws

Happy Saturday everyone!

Enjoy your day off tomorrow.

I think I have visited 750 blogs at this point. How many have you made it to? Is anyone feeling burnt out yet? Try not to get discouraged. Write your posts as far ahead of time as you can, so you'll leave more time for visiting and reading.

Today we have the letter J. And for my theme, yet another movie.

One of the greatest films from Hollywood's classic era, this is probably the film that made Steven Spielberg a household name. It was certainly his first breakout success.

Today's 2015 April A to Z Blogging Challenge story for the letter H:

Jaws

It's been a while, but I have seen this movie many times, and it is a clinic in suspense.

Here is the summary from IMDB:

When a gigantic great white shark begins to menace the small island community of Amity, a police chief, a marine scientist and grizzled fisherman set out to stop it.

Director: Steven Spielberg
Writers: Peter Benchley, Carl Gottlieb
Stars: Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss

That's it! Please come back tomorrow.

Juxtaposition

Man. I'm tired this morning, but I still had to come to work, so let's just get right down to business.

jux·ta·po·si·tion [juhk-stuh-puh-zish-uhn] n. an act or instance of placing close together or side by side, especially for comparison or contrast

Synonyms: collocation, apposition

Etymology: 1660s, from Fr. juxtaposition (1660s), from L. iuxta "beside, near" + Fr. position (see position (n.)). Latin iuxta is a contraction of *iugista (adv.), superlative of adjective *iugos "closely connected," from stem of iugum "yoke," from iungere "to join" (see jugular).
