Slave Leias may have taken over the con but a deft approach to the character is always welcomed.

Meeting Oscar-nominated actress Mary McDonnell ("Dances With Wolves," "Grand Canyon," "Donnie Darko," "Battlestar Galactica"), whom I've been a fan of for decades. After someone accidentally knocked over her water bottle (!), we had a chance to talk about her learning the Lakota language phonetically for "Dances..." and how she immersed herself in local tribes on location to get an affinity for the dialect/culture. We also talked about "Grand Canyon," which is a terrific film, and for which she seemed grateful others appreciate to this day. Wonderful lady.

From the JAWS 50th anniversary panel in Ballroom 6. Jules and I got front row seating.

 

No cast members from the movie were present, but moderator Mark Atkinson was in full Quint mode, along with Chris Gore (“Attack of the Show”), Steph Cannon (writer/film critic), author Patrick Jankiewicz (“The Jaws Companion”) and literal world record holding Jaws collector uber fan Chris Kizka, who showed off some of his latest acquisitions from the con, with a slideshow of his Jaws memories.

 

JAWS screenwriter Carl Gottlieb gave a prerecorded video message (which glitched out twice—“He ate the light”), and moderator Mark Atkinson showed his video from Martha’s Vineyard

 

They gave away “I Survived the Jaws 50th Anniversary Panel” t-shirts to those at the Q&A, including a devoted mother who asked for her too-shy little boy, who first saw Jaws at a very young age in hospital when he underwent heart surgery.

 

All in all, it was a great celebration of "JAWS" fandom.
