“I’m not talkin’ ’bout pleasure boatin’ or day sailin’. I’m talkin’ ’bout workin’ for a livin’. I’m talkin’ ’bout sharkin’!

– Captain Quint

You wanna talk about a memorable movie and we’d have to START with Spielberg’s 1975 thriller, “Jaws.”  I saw this movie when I were only 9 years old, AGAINST my parents wishes I might add, and it messed with my tiny brain’s survival instinct SO much that I STILL don’t go in the ocean 49 years later.  Thanks for THAT Mr. Spielberg!

Stern Pinball has come out with a fantastic new pinball machine that pays perfect homage to this horror film and DESPITE our aversion to the Great White killing machine that is Jaws, we REALLY want one of these for our office.

They are offering three different models: Pro – $6,999, Premium – $9,699 and the ultimate devastator, the one for true fans, the one that will haunt your dreams, the Limited Edition – $12,999.  (We were hoping for a Kiddy Pool version for around $2,000 but Stern don’t PLAY like that!  They ALWAYS bring tha heat!)
