WHAT A BIG MOUTH YOU HAVE!

   I took my wife and grandson Ryan to
Tunkhannock Saturday night. We went
to the Dietrich Theater to see the new
movie "The Meg!"
    It's the latest in a long line of movies
following in the tradition of "Jaws." the
first shark story that had audiences
screaming and beach goers staying away
from the water.
     This latest makes the shark from Jaws
look like a minnow! It's about a 75-foot
Megalodon, the kind of shark that existed
during prehistoric times.
      We made the trip to the Dietrich because,
for the 2nd time this year, I violated my own
rule about avoiding movie theaters on
Saturday night! They're usually filled with
teens who spend more time talking to or
at one another than listening to the dialog
on the screen.
       Very frankly the Dietrich tends to
attract a better crowd and it's a pleasant
drive to and from this classic theater.
        Minutes before the feature started,
however, a "gentleman" walked in with
a woman and practically shouted out
"I never thought this many people would
be interested in sharks." He then sat down
by a young fellow who apparently and
proceeded to explain he was an "expert
on sharks." Then he decided to prove it
to the kid by naming various varieties
of sharks, explaining the difference in
their bite patterns and relating stories
about the critters gained, it seems. from
all the television programs on sharks
which he has on tape.
       For just a minute I thought "Quint"
had come to the movie! The I remembered,
he got eaten in the first Jaws film!
       Luckily the movie came on and gained
his full attention. That made the character
on screen the biggest mouth in the
theater. But the guy was a close second!
       Hope he enjoyed the show and that
all your NEWS is good!
