When I was twelve years old, so circa 1999, my favorite movie was Jaws. There is just something about that movie, like the remake of Dark Shadows earlier this week, it is so incredibly dated that 1975 jumps out to bite you as often as the shark does. That being said there are few horror movies I like, this one I love. I think a good deal of my admiration goes  to Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Shaw, and of course Murray Hamilton as the mayor you love to hate, Larry Vaughn. There is no distraction from the acting once they're out on the boat, making for an almost painfully intense hour and fifteen minutes, however prior to that the man who steals the show is Murray Hamilton, or more specifically his sport coats. He has the most simultaneously wonderful and horrific selection of 1970's era sport coats that frankly I would agree to get bitten by a shark in order to own even one.

There is no real purpose to this other than that I found this tattoo unspeakably cool, you can check out the artists other work here I won't lie I am extremely tempted to have this tattooed somewhere on my body, Or maybe just the scowling Murray Hamilton, if they put some anchors on his jacket.
