I remember getting weak in the stomach just standing in line for tickets, the vision of the trailer in my head: that swimmer in the beginning, gulp gulp, getting pulled under. I went green even before going inside the theater.
And didn't swim in Long Island Sound for a couple summers after that......
Nothing beats Robert Shaw telling that awful story of the sailors being picked off one by one...followed by what it probably the most wrongful film death in movie history.
Have a story idea or tip about something happening in the East Village? Or maybe a photo? Or several photos? Or video! We'd love to hear about it. Or see it. Or something. Please go here to submit a tip.

By the way
Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.

Heh... Sorry! I was going to recall the time that I saw this at the Jersey shore when I was XX years old, but then everyone would know how old I am!
The music still haunts me.
