Originality isn't all that

1975. Jaws comes out and blockbuster cinema is invented. Cinema is derivative as hell and two years later we had Bond getting in on the act with a bad guy named Jaws taking on a shark in The Spy Who Loved Me. 


Then two years later George A. Romero made Dawn Of The Dead and it became the most profitable independent film ever (for a while) and later that year Italian cinema & Lucio Fulci got in on the zombie bandwagon with Zombie Flesh Eaters and thought why not, Bond already did it so let's throw a shark/human(ish) scrap into the mix here too. 


You have to love unoriginal thought. Without it we wouldn't have film scenes like these. No sharks were really eaten btw.

 Man, modern movies are so fucking boring.
