Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Spielberg Summer Spectaculars

I watched the shark its teeth display (1975)
     My heart swallowed my tongue, I'd nothing to say

  Sixteen years later a great dinosaur classic (1993)
     was set in a surreal park named Jurassic

  But my favorite of all came out in-between (1982)
      ET phoned home, made my heart sing ~ cash registers ring

Kim Rodrigues June 8, 2023 at 8:34 PM Memory Lane! My daughter was 2 and I had an infant son in my arms at the movies. I passed ET and decided to go in. My 2 year old watched…the little guy slept…all was good. :) Gershon Wolf June 8, 2023 at 8:39 PM Hope you enjoyed the flick. It's still pretty darn good! I've watched it within the last 10 years, and ET still has that charm and casts quite a spell over the audience...

Terry Flood June 8, 2023 at 3:49 PM Loved all these. Read the book about the making of ‘Jaws’ and was amused that many of the “obviously fake” shark scenes, actually were real sharks. Three great couplets, GW. Terry Gershon Wolf June 8, 2023 at 6:36 PM No kidding, Terry! Real sharks! Were they 'Loaned Sharks?!' ... You know, at age 60 I learned that the phrase is 'card-sharp' -- not card shark! ~ Illiterate Illinoisan

Ilene Bauer June 8, 2023 at 12:25 PM all great films, gershon! you've described them in a cool poetic way... Gershon Wolf June 8, 2023 at 6:30 PM Thank you so much, ilene. Call me 'Mr. Kool' for a day, anyway. Grinning, gw

Mike Gentile June 8, 2023 at 4:17 AM GW, I love your "Cinema-Scribe" I can't choose a fave, I love them all! Happy Thursday! Gershon Wolf June 8, 2023 at 6:29 PM All or Nothing, the bard says! Thanks, Mike! Happy, happy to you! Cheers, Gershon

Sara Kendrick June 8, 2023 at 1:09 AM Ahhh!! I have seen bits and pieces of the first and last, but never any of Jurassic. Creative way to show off a man's talents. Spielberg that is. Your work is always impressive. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by. Jurassic Park is in Atlanta for a while that is someone's set where you pay to go inside and walk around and through the animals. Sara Gershon Wolf June 8, 2023 at 6:28 PM Thank you for the nice comments, Sara... Myself, I've seen E.T. twice, but just clips of Jaws and Jurassic. But O! That music from Jaws gets me every time! Cheers, gw
